of his drawings were published in 1889 in the magazine La Ilustración Ibérica. It also illustrated the book about the monastery of Montalegre in 1921 written by Pedro Cano Barranco. Art critic Núñez de Prado wrote about Brunet: “He is superb and human at a time. He possesses the humor of the English and the intention of the Germans. Sometimes wanting to scratch, tear, perhaps remembering what his father suffered and the little protection of the governments of those times, despite the already high personalities have admired him and begged him to send and acquire his excellent original drawings, as did his great admirers and protectors, Segismundo Moret, Nicolás Salmerón, the King of Saxony, the Prince of Wüttemberg, Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Dato, Bascarán, Maura and Bermúdez Reina. ” Since his death, his work soon was forgotten, despite his remarkable artistic quality. At the end of 2018, the Museum of Badalona dedicated an exhibition to him, giving special importance to his drawings of the World War I. Collectionism For many years Brunet became interested and collected many artistic works and antiquities from Catalonia. Brunet gathered them in a house which he called Cau Brunet, located in Colònia Bosc de la Coreria, a summer residential area in Sant Fost de Campsentelles. His intention was to turn the house into a museum. The land on which he had built the house had probably been given to him by the promoters of the area, Francesc Artigues and Gonçal Arnús, who were interested in the founding of a museum in the colony and convert it in a meeting point for hikers. Brunet turned the house into that museum in 1914 and asked collaboration to Badalona City Council, that seconded the proposal. On October 16 of that year, the mayor Josep Casas wrote him thanking for his work.
