Description from the seller
Oil on panel – Basque School of the 20th Century / Traditional Realism
(With frame)
Delicate architectural work depicting an urban view with a church and traditional houses from the northern peninsula, probably in the Basque Country. It is a composition inspired by customs, where human presence adds scale and life to the scene: small groups of characters converse or walk along the cobbled street, including a drawn carriage that emphasizes the historical character of the motif.
The artist demonstrates careful technique with precise strokes and a good command of perspective, especially visible in the architecture of the church, whose volumes blend harmoniously into a natural setting of gentle hills. The clear sky light and the treatment of the clouds contribute to a serene atmosphere, with a marked documentary intent and evoking everyday life in the Basque Country in past times.
The piece belongs to the figurative language of the Basque school of the 20th century, in its most realistic and traditional aspect, characterized by its interest in local identity, territory, and the visual memory of the urban and rural environment.
Excellently framed with a carved and gold-colored decorative frame that enhances the depth and presence of the artwork.
