The Cau Ferrat Museum in Sitges has highlighted Hermen Anglada-Camarasa, describing him as one of the Catalan artists with the greatest international projection of his time. In a social media post marking the anniversary of his death, the museum noted that it holds two works by the artist in its collection: ‘Escena de restaurant nocturn de París’ and ‘Visió nocturna parisenca’, both dated circa 1899.
Anglada-Camarasa, born in Barcelona in 1871 and died in Pollença in 1959, is presented by the museum as a significant figure in Catalan art history. The museum’s reference to him comes in the context of a commemorative post rather than an exhibition announcement, but it places attention on the presence of his work within the Cau Ferrat holdings.
The two paintings cited by the museum belong to a period around the turn of the 20th century, when Anglada-Camarasa was producing scenes that, in the museum’s own naming, evoke Paris by night. The titles suggest an interest in urban atmosphere and nocturnal setting, and the museum’s brief note underlines that these works are part of its collection in Sitges.
Cau Ferrat Museum is part of the Museus de Sitges network, and its online communication regularly draws from the historical and artistic collection it preserves. In this instance, the museum used the anniversary of Anglada-Camarasa’s death to point to the artist’s legacy and to identify the two works it safeguards.
No exhibition dates, loan details or public programme were announced in the post. The museum’s message remained focused on recognition of the artist and on the identification of the works in its collection: ‘Escena de restaurant nocturn de París’ and ‘Visió nocturna parisenca’, both from around 1899.
