Mediterranean Fishing Boats Beach Catalonia Coastal Impressionist Oil Artist: J. Sureda Lloveras Title: Fishermen Boats on Mediterranean Beach Medium: Oil on panel Period: circa 1945 Movement: Spanish Impressionist School Support: Panel Signature: Signed lower left Condition: Very good condition Framed: No Dimensions: Height: 33 cm (13 in) Width: 41 cm (16.15 in) Origin: Catalonia, Spain Charming Mediterranean coastal scene depicting traditional fishing boats resting on a sunlit Catalonian beach, painted by J. Sureda Lloveras around 1945. The composition captures the quiet poetry of working maritime life along the Spanish coast, with anchored boats, suspended fishing nets and luminous white seaside architecture dissolving into a warm atmospheric horizon. The brushwork is spontaneous yet controlled, combining structural drawing with fresh plein-air sensitivity typical of mid-century Mediterranean impressionist painting. Scenes like this evoke the authentic coastal identity collectors associate with Sitges, Costa Brava and the wider Catalan shoreline during the golden era of Spanish figurative landscape painting. The painting balances decorative harmony with documentary charm, making it equally suitable for collectors of Spanish impressionism and for interiors seeking refined coastal European atmosphere. Small-scale original Mediterranean harbor paintings with strong light and architectural presence are particularly desirable in today’s international interior design market, especially in the United States. A refined and highly displayable example of postwar Catalan coastal painting. This work belongs to the tradition of Mediterranean plein-air painting developed across Catalonia and the Spanish Levante during the first half of the 20th century. Comparable stylistic affinities may be found in the coastal works of: Joaquín Sorolla Eliseu Meifrèn Santiago Rusiñol Hermen Anglada-Camarasa (coastal palette phase) and European maritime painters such as Eugène Boudin Raoul Dufy (coastal compositions) These references position the painting within a broader international impressionist coastal landscape tradition appreciated by collectors worldwide.

Catalan Landscape Oil Painting Mollet Barcelona Fauvist Modernist Spain SPECIFICATIONS Artist: Albert Rafols Cullerés (Barcelona, 1892 – 1986)...

This museum quality old master oil on canvas formal portrait painting depicting the family of the Count Zanardi is signed by the artist- the female painter Lucia Casalini Torelli- and published in a book dedicated to Casalini Torelli’s workshop and academy. This palatial masterpiece artwork comes directly from the ancient Villa Maraini Guerrieri - Palidano di Gonzaga (Mantua), an historic Italian heritage building owned by the descendants of the family portrayed for more than two centuries, until 1998. The big scale of this oil on canvas masterpiece painting states the relevance of Lucia Casalini Torelli as a painter. The present artwork is a formal family portrait painting that aim to introduce the characters depicted according to their social role in the society. The noble family is all gathered under a loggia overlooking a park, the landscape in the background is partially covered by a beautiful red cloth on the right side. The father stands up and holds the hand of his eldest son, proudly introducing his future heir. The son wears a light-blue dress and red boots, he is depicted in a serious pose holding a black tricorn hat under his arm and a rapier sword on his belt. The mother wears an elegant gold and dark green brocade dress, she is sitting with her youngest daughter on her knees while her second son is by her side. The little daughter wears a lovely long red and dress with white lace and holds an apple on her hand. The son stands next to his mother and is dressed in a brown priestly clothes. This palatial old masters piece was probably painted in 1740 due to the similarities with Cardinal Doria’ s portrait, now on display at the Doria Palace Museum, the official residence of the Prince of Genoa. The painting features original canvas (“prima tela”) and antique original patina, it is in excellent overall condition considering the age, use and its large scale. A formal detailed condition report and the results of the inspection with the UV lamp accompanied by photos is available on request. As well as for its exceptional quality and quite perfect state of conservation, this painting is particularly important and even more valuable both for the artist who painted it and for its absolutely exclusive provenance. Lucia painted the most prominent and powerful noble families of her time, the location of these paintings is unknown to the art market as it is extremely likely that the portraits are still kept in private collections. Furthermore, Lucia was one of the most appreciated artists of her time, so important that she was admitted as a member of the academy at a time when women were forbidden to attend these studies. In 1706, Felice Torelli...

Early 1920s Spanish Village Landscape Oil Painting Mediterranean Plein Air Artist: Manuel Isidor Valle Micolau (1874–1959) Title: Spanish village landscape Date: c.1925 Medium: Oil on cardboard Dimensions: 11.5 × 19 cm (4.53 × 7.49 in) Frame dimensions: 22 × 28 cm (8.66 × 11.02 in) Signature: Signed lower left Condition: Good vintage condition Frame: Included Charming early 20th-century Mediterranean village landscape painted around 1925 by Spanish artist Manuel Isidor Valle Micolau. This small yet atmospheric plein-air composition captures the luminous architecture and open spatial rhythm typical of Catalan and Spanish townscapes of the period. The warm ochre building at left anchors the composition while the distant white houses and terracotta roofs dissolve softly into a quiet horizon under a pale sky. Executed with a fresh and direct brushstroke typical of outdoor painting practice, the work preserves the immediacy and spontaneity of early modern Iberian landscape tradition. The palette balances sandy earth tones with soft greys and Mediterranean light blues, creating a refined decorative presence despite its intimate scale. Works of this type were often painted on location and function today as authentic visual fragments of pre-industrial Spain, highly appreciated by collectors seeking original European atmosphere rather than studio reinterpretations. A refined and elegant example of early 20th-century Spanish plein-air painting. Manuel Isidor Valle Micolau (1874–1959) was a Spanish painter and photographer trained at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid and later active in Vic, Catalonia. His work reflects the transition between late academic landscape tradition and early modern plein-air practice in Spain, focusing on architecture, village environments, and atmospheric studies of Mediterranean light. Today his paintings are appreciated for their documentary sensitivity and their connection to the development of early 20th-century Catalan landscape painting. This work relates to the Mediterranean plein-air tradition associated with: Joaquín Sorolla Santiago Rusiñol Modest Urgell Eliseu Meifrèn and early Catalan landscape painters working between Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Original early 20th-century Spanish plein-air paintings of this intimacy and authenticity are increasingly difficult to source.

Catalan Impressionist Mallorca Coastal Landscape Oil Painting Artist: Joaquim Terruella Matilla (1891–1957) Title: Mallorca Date: Circa 1920 Medium: Oil on paperboard Dimensions: 3.94 in H × 5.51 in W (10 × 14 cm) Framed dimensions: 7.87 in H × 9.84 in W (20 × 25 cm) Signature: Signed upper left Framing: Presented in its frame Origin: Catalonia, Spain Style: Impressionist Subject: Mallorca coastal landscape / seascape Condition: Good, with age-appropriate surface character. DESCRIPTION An intimate early twentieth-century Mallorca coastal landscape by Catalan painter Joaquim Terruella Matilla. Painted in oil on paperboard, this small but remarkably forceful work captures a rocky Mediterranean inlet under a changing sky, with deep ultramarine water set against warm ochres, coral tones and mauves. Terruella constructs the composition through broad, tactile brushstrokes and a deliberately simplified palette. The result has an almost Fauvist intensity while remaining rooted in the Catalan Impressionist tradition: a direct response to light, terrain and the elemental character of the sea. Its jewel-like scale makes it especially appealing for a curated wall, a library, or as part of a collection of Mediterranean modern painting. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Joaquim Terruella Matilla was a Catalan painter known particularly for landscape and genre scenes. He was the nephew and disciple of the painter Segundo Matilla, from whom he absorbed a close attention to atmosphere and the expressive possibilities of the natural world. Terruella developed a personal, vigorous language within the broad orbit of Catalan Impressionism. He exhibited in Barcelona, Madrid and Zaragoza, and his work is valued for its expressive handling of colour and its sensitive evocation of Spanish landscapes. ARTISTIC CONTEXT / PICTORIAL INSPIRATION This work belongs to the Mediterranean current that links Catalan painting with the modern landscape traditions of Joaquim Mir and Hermenegildo Anglada-Camarasa. Its concentrated colour, energetic brushwork and emotional interpretation of place also invite comparison with Pierre Bonnard and the late coastal studies of Claude Monet.
