AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Francisco Payá Sanchís (Valencia, 1892 – Olocau, 1977)
Rural landscape in the Levante
Origin: private collection in Valencia.
In this work, Payá Sanchís captures with great sensitivity the identity of the Valencian landscape, portraying a rural scene bathed in Mediterranean light. The brushstrokes are firm and fluid, using a rich palette of earth tones, vibrant greens, and sky blues, where chromatic clarity predominates, which earned him the nickname “the painter of light.” The inspiration for the motif probably comes from the environs of Olocau and reflects the connection between nature and traditional architecture, evoking feelings of calm and connection.
The composition maintains a balance between realistic description and expressive spontaneity, placing itself in the Valencian luminist tradition following in the wake of masters like Sorolla, but with its own intimate language.
Francisco Payá Sanchís was born in Valencia in 1892 and died in Olocau in 1977. He began his artistic training at the San Carlos Superior School of Fine Arts, where he soon stood out for his numerous prizes and recognitions.
He was a professor of artistic drawing and art history, and held important positions in various schools of arts and trades, including the one in Almería, where he was also director. After 1940, he settled in Barcelona, where he continued his pictorial and pedagogical work.
Known as one of the representatives of the Valencian school in the first half of the 20th century, his painting encompasses landscapes, seascapes, and genre scenes, always imbued with the light and Mediterranean colors. He was a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and Historical Sciences, and his career earned him a prominent place within the Valencian pictorial tradition.
