Circle and artistic influence:
The work is part of the Catalan and Mediterranean landscape tradition of the early 20th century, showing affinities with post-impressionist currents that sought to interpret the landscape through a free, impasto brushwork with marked chromatic intensity. The construction of the rocks through spots of color and the synthetic treatment of the sea reveal a pictorial conception distant from academicism and close to the renewal of landscape developed by numerous Catalan artists in the first decades of the 20th century.

Joan Vives Maristany (1901–1932) was a Spanish painter active during the early decades of the 20th century. His production developed in the context of Catalan painting of his time, with special attention to the landscape and to the capture of light and color. His early death, at 31, greatly limited the extent of his artistic career.

The composition represents a Mallorcan coastal landscape dominated by a succession of rock formations that extend into the Mediterranean. The coast occupies much of the foreground and the left side, while the sea stretches toward the horizon, creating a pronounced sense of depth.
ㅤ
The painting stands out especially for its energetic and impasto brushwork. The ocher, orange, reddish and greenish tones used to build the rocks contrast with the various blue and grayish hues of the water and sky. Small white touches suggest the foam produced by waves breaking against the rocks. The warm lighting of the coast justifies the crepuscular character suggested by the title and adds notable chromatic richness to the whole.
ㅤ
The work is presented with a wide molded frame in a gray-green tone, decorated with a dark braided relief on its inner perimeter. It incorporates a cream textile mat and a fine golden frame next to the painting, a combination that adds depth and enhances the warm colors of the composition.

ㅤ
Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by a surcharge due to causes such as being outside a continental territory, excessive dimensions or weight of the item. PremiArt will not cover this surcharge.
ㅤ
The courier that must cross the Swiss border may be delayed well beyond normal, so, if possible, to speed up processing we will provide the customs number that is delaying the shipment so the customer can release it and thus reach its destination. Experience has taught us that this is the most effective solution for both parties.

Due to high shipment volumes it is possible that the order is delayed more than three days, so we apologize and thank you for your patience. Any questions about your order please contact us via internal messaging.
