## About Eduard Arranz Bravo

Eduard Arranz Bravo (1941–2023) was a Catalan Spanish painter born in Barcelona. Active across several decades of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, Arranz Bravo is recognized as a distinctive figure within the Catalan and broader Spanish painting tradition. His work has been documented by major art-history institutions including the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History, the Getty Union List of Artist Names, and the Virtual International Authority File. Library authority records confirm his identity under both the Catalan form "Eduard" and the Spanish form "Eduardo" of his given name. With over 300 recorded auction appearances, his paintings surface regularly in the secondary art market, making him a name collectors encounter when evaluating post-war and contemporary Spanish painting.

## Common works and media

Arranz Bravo is primarily known as a painter. Works encountered at auction and in collections are principally paintings on canvas or panel, with genre subjects noted by the RKD. Collectors may also encounter works on paper, prints, or mixed-media pieces. As with many Spanish painters of his generation, the range of subject matter can include figurative, abstract, and genre compositions.

## Market and appraisal context

Arranz Bravo's work appears with regularity at auction, as indicated by more than 300 documented lot records. When assessing an Arranz Bravo painting, appraisers should consider medium and support, dimensions, date of execution, provenance or exhibition history, condition, and whether the work reflects a recognized period or style in the artist's output. The absence of detailed auction-house catalogue notes in publicly available sources means that comparable-sale research should draw on specialized databases such as Artnet, MutualArt, or Invaluable. His death in 2023 is a recent event whose effect on valuations remains to be observed over time.
