Description from the seller
- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.
- In this Enrique Montés basket there is the round plenitude of a land that has distilled all the sun of summer to turn it into sugar, pulp and memory. The brush of the Jerez master recovers the highest lesson of the Spanish still life —that sober truth where humble matter clothes itself with a nearly sacred dignity— to offer us the ultimate harvest offering: tight clusters of jet-black dye and translucent grains of gold that seem to still hold the suffocating light of the albariza. It is the secret triumph of Vertumnus, the Roman god of fruits and the changes of light, which manifests in this corner of the cellar justo when the air begins to cool and the last heat of September shatters against the walls. There is something miraculous in the promise contained in each fruit; Montés’s painting not only immortalizes the engorged flesh of the grape, but already glimpses the future heartbeat of the wine, that dark and noble liquor waiting dormant in the wood to return to us, sip by sip, the fleeting grace of the harvest.
- Dimensions of the image without frame: 71 x 52 cm / 91 x 72 cm with exclusive custom frame.

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