Oil on canvas titled 'Enfin Ithaque', from the 1970–1980 period, Spain, by École Européene (XX), original edition, hand-signed, image size 45 x 33 cm (70 x 58 cm with exclusive frame), weight 3.0 kg, sold with frame.
Description from the seller
- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Signed and dated by hand.
- At last the oars run aground in the sands of Ithaca and the sky, stripped of veils of cloud, reveals the insolent serenity of a horizon at rest. Yet, for the tempered spirit in the clamor of the tempest, the fortune that follows the shipwreck carries a subtle and bitter form of disillusion; there is no epic in the safe harbor nor mystery in the reconquered coast. The navigator contemplates the tamed waters with the secret dissatisfaction of a conqueror without enterprise, discovering that the true homeland was not the promised land, but the fury of the squall, the scent of salt under the line of the ray, and the sacred vibration of the abyss before reaching the shore.
- Image dimensions without frame: 45 x 33 cm / 70 x 58 cm with exclusive custom frame.
