2. DESCRIPTION
Beautiful mountain landscape executed in oil on panel by Juli Batallé i Murlà, Catalan painter closely linked to the landscape tradition of the Olot School.
The composition depicts a valley surrounded by imposing rocky massifs, whose violet and grayish tones contrast with the bright vegetation in the foreground. A small meadow dotted with trees and shrubs introduces the viewer to a landscape of great depth, while the mountains rise beneath a softly and diffusely lit sky.
The scene stands out for its chromatic freshness and the natural way the artist interprets the mountain atmosphere.
3. STYLISTIC, COMPOSITIONAL AND EXPRESSIVE ANALYSIS
The painting presents an expressive facture, with visible brushwork and abundant painterly matter, especially evident on the rocky surfaces and the vegetation.
The treatment of the mountains is notable, built with short, directional brushstrokes in a refined range of violets, purples, and blue-gray tones. The intense greens and small yellow accents in the foreground add luminosity and vitality to the composition.
The diagonal arrangement of the slopes guides the eye toward the valley’s depth, producing a notable sense of space.
The whole conveys serenity and a deep sensitivity toward nature, blending the Catalan landscape tradition with a technical and chromatic freedom with post-impressionist resonances.
4. SIGNATURE AND AUTHENTICITY
The work appears signed J. Batallé in the lower right corner.
Juli Batallé i Murlà (Sant Esteve d'en Bas, Girona, 1926 – Olot, 2010) was a prominent Catalan landscape painter belonging to the historical continuity of the Olot School.
He trained at the Olot School of Fine Arts, where he later taught perspective and artistic drawing between 1953 and 1975.
He devoted much of his output to landscape painting, developing a style characterized by direct observation of nature, chromatic sensitivity, and a personal brushwork.
He exhibited in Catalonia, various Spanish cities and several European countries. In 1976 he was selected to participate in an exhibition of Catalan art in Grenoble, France.
His work is represented in the Museu Comarcal de la Garrotxa, in museums in France and Venezuela, and in various international private collections.
5. ADDITIONAL INTERESTING DATA
The Olot School is one of the most important landscape traditions of Catalan painting, begun in the 19th century by artists such as Joaquim Vayreda and Josep Berga i Boix.
Juli Batallé belongs to a subsequent generation that helped keep this tradition alive, incorporating greater pictorial freedom and chromaticity.
In 2026, on the occasion of the centenary of his birth, the city of Olot dedicated a commemorative exhibition Vida i obra del pintor Juli Batallé Murlà, held at Can Trincheria.
The painting retains an attractive gilded frame with broad and stepped moldings, whose aged patina especially enhances the violet and green tones of the composition.
A work of notable pictorial and decorative interest, representative of the artist’s landscape sensibility.
