Description from the seller
Oil on panel – Basque School / Post-Impressionist genre painting
(With frame)
A marine landscape work belonging to the aesthetic tradition of the Basque school, where genre scenes and daily life by the sea become the protagonists of the pictorial discourse.
In the composition, we observe a beach from the Cantabrian coast, with three figures in the foreground—probably fishermen or walkers—protecting themselves from the wind while conversing in front of the waves. In the background, the city and the cliffs complete a very characteristic image of the Basque Country and its close relationship with the sea.
The artist employs a loose and thick brushstroke, typical of figurative post-impressionism, which adds texture, dynamism, and a lively interpretation of the environment. The chromatic palette — intense blues, earth tones, and ochres — enhances the changing and luminous atmosphere of the Cantabrian Sea, contributing to a work that combines environmental sensitivity with human storytelling.
