L’Antònia

Most of Alfred Sisquella and Oriol’s works are portraits, but he also painted highly realistic still lifes or landscapes around Sitges. Of the portraits, the Antònies stand out, those of his wife, Antònia Rambla. The will in the capture of the figure is in the moments of internalization, but it puts it in a restful […]

Maison à Trouville

The painted architecture of Carles Nadal is the result of capturing colour, a pure fauvist approach, and great chromatic intensity and strength. Thick, synthetic profiles with direct shades of black or primary colours suggest the volume of the buildings, the streets and the urbanistic composition of the city. The tridimensional nature of the painting is […]

This oil painting is a good representation of his post-impressionist style. There are three almost parallel areas –the field, the mountain and the sky–, bright and contrasting greens, […]

Vilanova street and a bell tower

The small urban composition with anonymous figures and the reuse of the canvas -there is a rural architectural composition on the reverse that was not made by the painter- demonstrate how materials were recycled during the Civil War. They are small works on wood or cardboard that could be sold more easily or exchanged for […]

Mar de Plata, Argentina

A landscape painter with a passion for maritime scenes, he was a student of Antoni Caba and Martí Alsina, and he spent long periods in several countries, including Paraguay, Argentina, Italy and the United States. As a painter, he sold many works, but due to the commercial failure of the grand exhibition at the Barcelona […]

Clouds

He went to Paris in 1892 and he began to associate with impressionist artists, leading to a change in his pictorial style. His colour pallet became lighter and he began using light blue, ochre and golden tones, starting to accentuate all the colours seen in the sea and rivers. He was continually drawn to the […]
