Josep Mestre (1889-?) - La statue de Vénus

- Oil on board. Signed and dated.

- Under the subdued light of a Andalusian noon, this canvas captures the essence of a Spanish garden that exudes silence and fragrance. At the center of this oasis of contemplation, a Venus of marble in pristine white rises above a short stone fountain, whose crystal-clear murmur seems to be the only voice breaking the stillness of the enclosure. The sculpture, of classical elegance, emerges among a labyrinth of interlaced branches that form a natural canopy, where shadow and sun play to draw arabesques on the surface of the water.

- Image dimensions without frame: 33 x 25 cm / 51 x 43 cm with exclusive custom frame.

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original and unrepeatable. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision and skilled technique, qualities that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are pieces created individually by recognized artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the basis of our commitment to excellence and, therefore, every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity.

Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a unique piece in the world, with no replicas, and a reflection of the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit granted by the Ministry of Culture. Although it is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation internationally.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique and unrepeatable works of art, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of every piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every purchase, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate certifies that the purchased work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin and condition. The Certificate of Guarantee includes complete details about the piece, such as its author, date of creation, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the purchased piece. This document will be sent in digital format and will be signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and backing.

We are committed to the satisfaction and confidence of our clients, so any questions about the authenticity or condition of the work will be addressed professionally and diligently. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels.

As experts in the logistics of artworks, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. For this, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping costs shown in the listing are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances, including fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed in advance before proceeding with the shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring that the artwork arrives at its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, and is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no extra cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be exhibited immediately on your wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will not be accepted as a valid reason to file a claim or request a cancellation.
