Circle and artistic influence:
Antoni Sadurní (Vic, 1927–2014) was a Catalan painter dedicated mainly to figurative landscape, with work inspired by the countryside and the coast of Catalonia and characterized by loose brushwork and interest in the atmospheric effects of light. His work regularly appears at auctions and in specialized galleries.
ㅤ
The painting relates to the tradition of Catalan landscape painting of the 20th century, heir to Post-Impressionism, in which cultivated countryside becomes the central motif and is interpreted through color planes and a built brushstroke.
ㅤ
His language shows affinities with the landscapes of Joaquim Mir and with the European Post-Impressionist tradition, especially through the simplification of forms and expressivity of color. These references constitute stylistic affinities and do not imply a direct relation with those artists.
ㅤ
The composition depicts a wide agricultural landscape of terraced fields, with almond trees in bloom in the foreground and a mountain chain on the horizon.
ㅤ
In the foreground rise two almond trees with dark trunks and canopies covered with white flowers, resolved with impasto touches. Behind them extend the terraces, alternating rows of crops, ochre and golden bands, and white-stone low walls.
ㅤ
In the background, a line of mountains in intense blues and purples separates the fields from a wide sky, gray-blue, traversed by elongated clouds.
ㅤ
The execution combines zones of rhythmic and linear brushwork in the crops with freer impasto in the flowering, achieving a composition of great balance and a luminous spring-like atmosphere.
ㅤ
The painting is signed “Sadurní” in the lower right corner.
ㅤ
It is presented in a gilded frame with a wide molding and relief decoration, with a light linen mount delimiting the composition.

The work may incur damage during transport even with proper packaging. In that case, we will need photographs of the damage to proceed with compensation. Customer satisfaction is always our priority.
ㅤ
Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by an extra charge for 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 pass through the Swiss border can experience much longer delays than usual, so, if possible, to speed up processing, we will provide the customs number that is holding the shipment so the client can release it and thus reach its destination. Experience has shown us this is the most effective solution for both sides.
ㅤ
Due to the high volume of shipments, orders may be delayed by more than three days, for which we apologize and thank you for your patience. Any questions about your order please contact us via internal messaging.
