Three figures and white houses

Ignasi Gil visited Ibiza for the first time in the 30s, and he was fascinated by the sight of all the white and the peasant women’s dresses. He painted genre landscapes all over the island and portraits of peasants in the impressionist style, which sought spontaneity in the brushstrokes, movement and luminosity. In modern art, […]

Interior of a country house

Benet Mercadé was from Emporda, the son of a decorative painter, gilder and votive painter. He trained at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona – where he was appointed professor in 1882 – and the School of Fine Arts San Fernando in Madrid.

The tridimensional nature of the painting is […]

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 […]
