Luis Graner y Arrufi (1863 - 1929) was a Spanish artist. He began his studies at the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Barcelona at the age of twenty-one, focusing his works in the subject of genre painting. In 1886 the Barcelona Provincial Council awarded him a scholarship that allowed him to study in Paris. The artist was welcomed into the art circles of Paris, where he remained for five years; during this time he exhibited at the Paris Salon and won medals at an exhibition in Berlin. The artist eventually began showing his paintings and working in New York and New Orleans. While in America, he also travelled to California, South America, and Colorado producing a varied oeuvre of landscapes, portraits, and genre scenes.
