Escuela Postimpresionista Española (XX) - Puerto de Barcelona

Title: Port of Barcelona — Fishing Boats
ㅤ
School: Spanish (20th century)
ㅤ
Style: Marine Post-Impressionism
ㅤ
Technique: Oil on canvas
ㅤ
Condition: Generally good preservation in apparent condition, with possible light signs of aging appropriate to its age.
ㅤ
Circle and artistic influence:
The work is inscribed in the tradition of port painting from the Catalan school of the 20th century, which made the Port of Barcelona and its boats one of its preferred motifs.
ㅤ
Its language presents affinities with Spanish marine Post-Impressionism, especially through the use of a spatula, generous impasto, and the vibration of color on the water. These references constitute stylistic affinities and do not imply attribution or direct relation to other artists.
ㅤ
The composition depicts a group of fishing boats moored in the Port of Barcelona, with sails furled and the Montjuïc mountain and the cable car tower in the background.
ㅤ
In the foreground, several wooden boats in ochre, green, and blue tones float on the water; behind them, the fishing boats with their masts and dark sails occupy the center of the scene.
ㅤ
The water and sky, resolved with thick impasto of whites, grays, and blues, confer to the work a great material and luminous force.
ㅤ
The painting is signed in the lower right corner.
ㅤ
It is presented in a wooden frame with a walnut and gold moulding, and a burgundy velvet mat with a silver edge.
ㅤ
Observations:

The work may incur damages during transport even with proper packaging. In such a case, we will require photographs of the defects to proceed with compensation. Customer satisfaction is always our priority.
ㅤ
Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by a surcharge due to factors such as being outside a continental territory, exceeding dimensions or weight of the item. PremiArt will not cover this surcharge under any circumstances.
ㅤ
The courier that must pass through the Swiss border may be far slower than usual, so, if possible, to speed up the processing, we will provide the customs number that is holding the shipment so that the customer can clear it and thus reach its destination. Experience has shown us that this is the most effective solution for both parties.
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. If you have any questions about your order, please contact us via internal messaging.
