AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Technical sheet
Author: Manuel Romero Cabestany (Barcelona, 1948)
The Bow Portal (Vejer de la Frontera)
Chronology: November 1983
Technique: oil on canvas
Measurements: 65 × 55 cm
Frame measurements: 72 × 61 cm
Signature: Signed in the lower left corner; manuscript and signed reverse.
Molded wooden frame, lacquered in ivory tone with a gold inner edge; of good quality, sober, and harmonious with the work.
2. Compositional and iconographic description
The work depicts an architectural fragment of the historic center of Vejer de la Frontera, focused on a raised passage between whitewashed volumes, resolved from a low and enclosed perspective that emphasizes the monumentality of the Andalusian white.
The composition is articulated through rounded geometric planes, where light directly hits the walls, creating soft contrasts and clean shadows. The sky, a deep and uniform blue, acts as a chromatic counterpoint and reinforces the sense of Mediterranean clarity.
Secondary elements — electric wires, white clothes in the wind, contained vegetation — introduce everyday life without disrupting the structural silence of the scene, emphasizing a poetics of the ordinary and the architectural.
3. Style, School, and Comparative Valuation
The work is rooted in a refined Mediterranean realism, characteristic of a certain Catalan figurative painting from the second half of the 20th century, where popular architecture becomes the absolute protagonist.
The treatment of white recalls, by aesthetic affinity, approaches present in artists such as José Beulas, Xavier Valls, or certain urban landscapes by Antonio López, although with a more synthetic and luminous execution, less introspective.
Manuel Romero Cabestany demonstrates here a solid mastery of space, light, and compositional structure, offering a serene, well-resolved painting with notable formal balance, which faithfully and sensitively depicts the Andalusian urban landscape from a cultivated and restrained Catalan perspective.
