Vintage painting by Josep Grau Garriga, 1940s

In the early 1940s, Grau-Garriga received his first influences through the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, its frescoes, its Romanesque and Gothic paintings. He studied art first at the Llotja and then at the Escola Superior de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi in Barcelona. In the 1950s, he devoted himself to mural painting, creating works of the magnitude of the frescoes in the chapel of Sant Crist de Llaceres (Sant Cugat del Vallès, 1956) or the sanctuary of Santa Maria de Paretdelgada (La Selva del Camp, 1959).
