École Espagnole (1950s) - Le Sémis

- Oil on board.

- Under the indifferent clarity of a sky that knows no fatigue, this landscape exudes the essence of a bucolic misery where the earth is not a refuge, but a sentence from sun to sun. The figures of the planters, stooped over the furrow in a choreography of absolute resignation, seem to spring from the very clay they try to tame, reduced to mere appendages of the agricultural cycle. There is no idyll in this image of social realism; the whiteness of the chipped houses and the silent presence of the ox under the weight of the cart underline a life stuck in time, where human effort dissolves into the vastness of fields that promise much but return only enough to survive. It is a portrait of rural Spain that, behind the facade of Mediterranean light, hides the silent drama of those who, with bent backs and weathered hands, hold the world without ever owning it.

- Unframed image dimensions: 54 x 38 cm / 58 x 42 cm with exclusive, tailor-made frame.

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

It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to changes depending on various circumstances.
