Cemetery and church (Touch of bad weather) is one of the best and most celebrated works in Modest Urgell’s catalogue. At the centre of the composition, the artist places an abandoned chapel, whose Romanesque apse and bell tower allow us to identify it as the village of Bellcaire (Girona), specifically the Iglesia de Sant Joan (Church of Saint John), also recognisable in the drawing conserved in the National Museum of Catalonia (fig. 1). The silhouette of a country woman gathering sheaves before the storm is the only human figure inhabiting this desolate setting. A lead-coloured sky forms the backdrop, while the ringing movement of the bells and the cypresses twisted by the force of the wind announce the arrival of bad weather, which the title of the work confirms.
