École Réaliste (XIX) - La Cuisine

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.

- In this blunt and fleshy kitchen still life, the painting material celebrates the domestic theater of meat and earth with the shameless sensuality of Baroque tradition. On the rubbed wooden table, the organoleptic explosion is formidable: the wet, pearly gleam of the scales in a basket overflowing with freshly brought fish contrasts with the fleshy plumpness of seasonal fruits, whose vermilion and yellowish tones seem to ooze a thick juice under the overhead light. At the edge of the composition, beside a hen, the woodcock lies with the tragic morbidity of still lifes, while, among the shadows of the tableware, the stealthy silhouette of a cat watches the feast with blazing pupils; a silent, tense witness that, without breaking the scene’s icy muteness, introduces a latency of imminent predation in the midst of this opulent vanitas of flesh, scales, and fruity sweetness.

- Image dimensions without frame: 80 x 59 cm / 90 x 68 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, creative vision, and masterful technique, characteristics 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 foundation of our commitment to excellence, and for that reason every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning an irreproducible piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will preserve its artistic and emotional value. We are proud to offer works that not only beautify spaces but also connect our clients with the richness of human expression through the most authentic art. Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a one-of-a-kind piece in the world, with no replica whatsoever, 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 granted by the Ministry of Culture. Although it is an administrative procedure, it is indispensable to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation at an international level.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and unrepeatable works of art, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every acquisition, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate attests that the acquired 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 author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued at the client’s request, providing an official reference for the acquired 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 trust of our clients, so any doubts about the authenticity or the 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 art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of specialists in art transport who guarantee maximum 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 fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments to 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 shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring that 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, and is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at the buyer’s home, it can be exhibited immediately on their wall. Consequently, no frame damage will be accepted as a valid reason to open a complaint or request a cancellation unless it affects the integrity of the work.
