Description from the seller
Tomás Martorell (1935)
Paris, Opéra Garnier
Oil on canvas
Signed in the lower right corner
Framed artwork – Excellent condition
Magnificent Parisian view of the Opéra Garnier, interpreted with the unmistakable mastery of Tomás Martorell (1935), a renowned artist known for his mastery of light, architectural perspective, and vibrant depiction of urban life. In this composition, Martorell captures the majesty of the building and the activity surrounding it: carriages, pedestrians, and reflections on the wet pavement, creating a dynamic atmosphere that evokes the elegant Paris of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The loose and agile brushwork, combined with a balanced palette of blues, mauves, and warm tones, gives the piece a luminous and harmonious character, clearly influenced by the Impressionist tradition but reinterpreted with the artist's personal touch. The scene conveys movement, depth, and a romantic charm typical of his best urban views.
The painting is accompanied by a finely carved and gilded frame, which adds a solemn air and enhances the beauty of the ensemble, making it a piece ready for display in any distinguished space.
A work of great visual appeal and high technical quality, ideal for collectors of contemporary Spanish painting, lovers of Parisian views, and fans of Tomás Martorell's work, whose production is highly valued for its elegance and decorative value.
