AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Horses in the Shade
Technical sheet
Author: attributed to Alfredo Palmero de Gregorio (1901–1991)
Chronology: circa 1980
Technique: oil on canvas
Style: Lyric figurative expressionism.
Pictorial School: Spanish postwar school
Measurements: 68 × 82 cm
Measurements with frame: 86 × 100 cm
Condition: good, with slight losses that do not affect the overall condition.
Marco: high-quality wooden frame with molding, featuring a combination of satin gold and dark patinated tones, with a black inner mat that enhances the contrast and depth of the scene.
2. Compositional and iconographic description
The work depicts a group of white horses advancing and drinking from a water sheet, arranged in a horizontal frieze against a forested background with a nocturnal atmosphere. The composition is built from the strong contrast between the luminous figures of the animals and the dark, enveloping landscape.
The brushstroke is broad, thickened, and energetic, especially on the bodies of the horses, treated with synthetic gestures that reinforce their physical power and movement.
Iconographically, the horse acts as a symbol of freedom, strength, and untamed nature, a recurring theme in 20th-century Spanish painting with readings both poetic and existential.
3. Style, School, and Comparative Valuation
From a stylistic point of view, the work confidently aligns with lyric figurative expressionism, characteristic of Alfredo Palmero de Gregorio, where form is subordinated to emotion and visual impact.
The reduced palette, lighting dramatism, and pictorial material connect with authors such as Zoran Mušič, Georges Rouault, or certain figurative registers of Antoni Tàpies in their most symbolic aspect, all of them of high international valuation.
It is a work of great theatrical impact and notable pictorial quality, very representative of the taste and sensitivity of post-war Spain.
Its format, theme, and setting make it an especially attractive piece for collectors and for contemporary artistic spaces.
