Description from the seller
Spanish school
(20th Century)
Landscape
Oil on panel that represents a natural landscape of a serene and evocative character, resolved with a painterly language inherited from Post-Impressionism and the Spanish landscape painting tradition of the 20th century. The composition is articulated through a path that gently enters the landscape, guiding the eye toward a background of hills and dense vegetation, creating a sense of depth and spatial continuity.
The work stands out for a loose yet well-structured brushstroke, visible in the treatment of vegetation and terrain, where moderate impasto adds texture and vitality. The color palette, dominated by deep greens, ochres, earth tones, and bluish hues, conveys a natural and balanced atmosphere, with a sensitive handling of light and space.
The use of a rigid support enables a firm, controlled execution, evident in the construction of the planes and in the overall harmony of the composition. The landscape is presented in a synthesized manner, without excessive descriptive detail, privileging the overall impression and the sense of the surroundings, a characteristic feature of modern landscape painting.
The work is presented in a gold frame with a classic profile, which enhances the scene and gives it visual presence, facilitating its immediate display in a collection or exhibition space.
Piece of notable pictorial quality and great decorative appeal, representative of 20th-century Spanish landscape painting, suitable for collectors and lovers of landscape painting.
