École Européene (XX) - Tourbillon

- Oil on prepared board.

- On the dark wooden pedestal with an almost ascetic line, the eerie light shines full on the central lemon, turning the golden spiral of its skin into a marvel of three-dimensionality that defies the plane of the canvas and floats toward the viewer with a weight almost tangible. The fleshly translucence of the exposed pulp, the tiny membranes that trap the acidic juice, and the play of textures between the roughness of the rind and the roughness of the board reveal a meticulous technique, inherited from the great masters of trompe-l'œil. There is no artifice or superfluous ornament: the drama emanates solely from the light, deep chiaroscuro, and the mastery with which the brush captures the humble, ephemeral, and perfect beauty of a citrus fruit opened in the penumbra.

- Image dimensions without frame: 28 x 40 cm / 43 x 55 cm with exclusive custom frame.

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of which are unique, original, and one-of-a-kind. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique, characteristics that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are pieces created individually by renowned artists, each with its own story and essence.

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

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is administrative in nature, 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 irreplaceable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each 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 attests that the purchased work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify authorship, origin, and condition. The Certificate of Guarantee includes full details about the piece, such as its author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon customer request, providing an official reference for the acquired piece. This document will be sent in digital format and signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and support.

We are committed to the satisfaction and trust 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. To that end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee the utmost care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances. These include variations 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 accurately based on these factors, and the client will always be informed in advance before proceeding with shipment. Our aim is to offer the best service possible, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring the work reaches 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, so it is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be displayed immediately on your wall. Accordingly, no damages to the frame will be accepted as a valid reason to file a claim or request a cancellation unless they affect the integrity of the work.
