Two paintings depicting Sitges in the late 19th century have been highlighted in a post from the Museu de Sitges account: Joaquim de Miró i Argenter’s ‘Carrer d'en Bosch’, dated around 1880, and ‘Platja de Sitges’, dated around 1884. The works form part of the Museu de Maricel, according to the post.
The brief collection-focused notice presents the paintings as views of Sitges made during a period of change for the coastal town. It identifies Miró i Argenter as one of the relevant artists associated with the Escola Luminista, or Luminist School, a designation linked in the source to his treatment of the local landscape.
‘Carrer d'en Bosch’ takes its subject from one of Sitges’s streets, while ‘Platja de Sitges’ focuses on the town’s beach. Together, the titles indicate two distinct settings within the same place: an urban street view and a coastal scene. The source describes both works as representations of late-19th-century Sitges under the artist’s brush.
The post was published on 20 August 2026 by the Museus de Sitges account, whose associated organization information identifies the Cau Ferrat Museum in Sitges. Its wording, however, specifically places the two paintings within the Museu de Maricel rather than announcing an exhibition at the Cau Ferrat Museum or elsewhere.
No exhibition dates, curatorial programme or presentation details are supplied in the available material. The notice is instead a reference to two works in the Museu de Maricel’s holdings, with their approximate dates and subjects identified as ‘Carrer d'en Bosch’ from around 1880 and ‘Platja de Sitges’ from around 1884.
