Description from the seller
- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.
- Under a sky that foreshadows the storm of history, a man and a woman surrender to the frenzy of the dance, while the dry strum of a Spanish guitar marks the pulse of a people who watch, between astonishment and shadow. In this scene of Goyaesque vibrancy, the movement of the bodies is not merely a dance, but a challenge to destiny; the chiaroscuro of the Aragonese master envelops the couple in a light of a bonfire, highlighting the arrogance of a majismo that resists the gloom. The faces of the gathered people, barely sketched with that nervous, dense brushstroke, seem to form a chorus of ghosts and realities guarding the essence of a Spain that laughs with clenched teeth while dancing on the abyss.
- Image dimensions without frame: 27 x 42 cm / 37 x 53 cm with exclusive custom frame.
