Spanish school (XX) - Bodegón rústico

This hunting still life belongs to that Spanish pictorial tradition which, during the first half of the 20th century, kept alive the fondness for still lifes rooted in costumbrista origins. The composition centers on a slain hare, suspended head down, whose presence dominates the scene with a mix of rawness and solemnity. The painter has managed to capture the weight of the inert body, the fur softly illuminated, and the natural fall of the legs, endowing the animal with a silent dignity that transcends mere descriptiveness.

Around it, the objects arrange themselves with a clear narrative intention: a glossy red pepper with a fleshy shine, a few shotgun shells, and a wooden plate or lid that provides a warm, domestic counterpoint. Each element seems placed with almost ritual deliberation, as if the artist wished to stop time precisely at the moment when the hunting day becomes pictorial memory. The ceramic pitcher, with simple, rustic forms, introduces an echo of everyday life, reminding us that this kind of scene was not just exercises in technical virtuosity, but fragments of a rural world the painter knew up close.
