## About Josep Puigdengolas Barella

Josep Puigdengolas Barella (1906–1987) was a Spanish painter associated in public authority records with a Catalan cultural context. Available biographical sources characterize him principally as a landscape painter, placing landscape rather than a named modernist movement at the center of his documented practice. His surname appears in both Barella and Barrella forms across authority and reference records; collectors should account for both spellings when researching works, catalogues, and sale histories. Paintings attributed to Puigdengolas enter the collector market through public auctions, where landscape subjects are the clearest documented connection to his career. The collected evidence does not securely connect him to a specific formal movement, so his work is best contextualized within twentieth-century Spanish and Catalan landscape painting without assigning a speculative school label. Authority identifiers from Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, the Library of Congress, and RKD help distinguish his records from similarly named artists.

## Common works and media

Landscape paintings are the most clearly supported type of work associated with Puigdengolas. Appraisily's matched auction index also places some records in broad buckets for works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions, but those labels should be treated as search classifications rather than proof of a sustained practice in each medium. For appraisal purposes, an object's materials, support, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, condition, subject, and documented attribution should be verified individually.

## Market and appraisal context

Auction evidence for Josep Puigdengolas Barella should be evaluated through closely comparable works rather than a single headline result or overall median. Relevant comparisons should align in medium, dimensions, subject, date, condition, and attribution status. Signature and inscription details, restoration, surface quality, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can further affect how a lot is assessed. Appraisily's index contains matched public auction records, but its category labels are broad and do not by themselves prove that Puigdengolas regularly produced sculpture, editions, or every listed work type. Public realized prices may include fees on differing bases, while private transactions and incomplete feeds may be absent. Authentication and direct physical inspection remain important for an individual appraisal.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Incomplete feeds, private sales, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
