Description from the seller
Serene Light at Sunset
Benito Sánchez (1944)
Technical sheet
Author: Benito Sánchez (Madrid, 1944)
Serene Light of the Flock at Sunset
Chronology: c. 1989 (date inscribed on the work)
Technique: oil on canvas
Dimensions: 33 × 46 cm (without frame)
Frame: 53 × 66 cm. Magnificent frame with a wide, antique gold molding, featuring an elegant metallic inner border and perimeter lining.
Style: contemporary realistic landscape, heir to the Spanish tradition of lyrical landscape.
Condition: Excellent.
2. Compositional and iconographic description
The work presents a twilight landscape with a serene atmosphere, where a shepherd and his flock move along a watercourse reflecting the golden tones of the sky. The composition is structured in successive planes — foreground with vegetation, a luminous strip of the stream, middle slope, and distant mountains — creating a gentle and immersive sense of depth.
The golden chromatism of the horizon dialogues with the muted ochres and greens of the land, while the fine and naturalistic brushstroke of the artist precisely captures the humidity of the environment and the stillness of the moment.
The motif of the shepherd with sheep introduces a narrative and cultural dimension, evoking the harmony between man and nature.
The light —the absolute protagonist— functions as a guiding thread that directs the gaze towards the mountain range, forming an evocative ensemble that recalls the tradition of spiritualized landscape.
3. Style, Context, and Comparisons
Benito Sánchez enrolls in the Spanish post-war realist school, characterized by direct observation of the environment and a refined technical language.
His work connects with the serene lyricism of Martín Rico, the melancholic evocations of Muñoz Degrain's landscapes, and the luminous sensitivity of contemporary artists like Amalia Avia in her peripheral natures or even the golden tones of José Luis Sampedro.
Atmospheric serenity, topographical accuracy, and the vibration of chiaroscuro align it with an eternal, contemplative, and humanist landscape, highly valued by current collectors for its technical honesty and emotional beauty.
