- Description of the work:
Exceptional piece by the renowned Vigo master José (Xosé Telmo) Lodeiro, a fundamental figure of the vanguard and the renewal of Galician art in the 20th century (historic member of the Atlántica movement).
The piece is a striking study of light and color captured by the artist facing the sea on the Samil promenade: a vibrant sunset over the Vigo estuary with the silhouette of the Cíes Islands on the horizon.
Lodeiro synthesizes the Atlantic landscape into horizontal bands of great emotional density, confronting the deep blues of the estuary with a upper band lit in reds and oranges of fire.
Key point of authenticity and provenance:
- The back of the frame preserves the original period sealing paper and contains a handwritten dedication signed by the painter himself:
"To Óscar and Teresa, and children, with affection and José Lodeiro"
This dedication and the artist’s freehand signature not only certify the indisputable authorship of the work but also grant it direct provenance from a private collection, of total guarantee for the buyer.
A museum-worthy piece, with a Galician identity stamp and an impeccable historical-artistic value. Ready to hang and display.
