Description from the seller
Spanish school, twentieth century
Still life with lemons, oil on canvas
Framed dimensions: 35 × 29 cm
Elegant still life belonging to the Spanish school of the 20th century, centered on the portrayal of two lemons arranged against a dark background, a sober and timeless composition that recalls the classical tradition of the still life reinterpreted with modern sensibility.
The work stands out for its refined handling of light and color, with a marked contrast between the deep background and the vibrant yellow tones of the fruits, which emerge with volume and presence. The brushwork is restrained and precise, achieving a polished surface that enhances the intimate and silent character of the scene.
The artist demonstrates a remarkable mastery of chiaroscuro and of balanced composition, concentrating attention on the main elements and endowing them with a strong aesthetic and decorative charge. The result is a work of great visual elegance, representative of Spanish still life painting of the 20th century, highly valued for its sobriety and technical quality.
The work is presented framed. The frame has a small flaw in one of the corners, a defect that does not detract from the overall presentation and maintains a harmonious aesthetic.
An ideal piece for collectors and fans of classical still life, with meticulous pictorial execution and excellent presence in a small format.
