About the Item

Title: "Arrival of the Catch" Artist: Ángel Estrada Escanciano (1933-2022) Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 19.7 x 25.6 inches Condition: Unframed Style: Realist costumbrismo Signature: Located in the lower-left corner, "Estrada" Year of Creation: c.1980 Conservation Status: Good, with slight craquelure and no significant structural damage. Theme: A port scene depicting fishermen unloading the day’s catch. The painting, titled "Arrival of the Catch", vividly portrays a bustling scene at a fishing port, where a group of fishermen and workers are unloading an abundant catch. Ángel Estrada Escanciano skillfully captures the energy and camaraderie of the moment with a vibrant realism characteristic of Spanish costumbrismo. In the foreground, the fish are rendered with remarkable detail and texture, while the figures display dynamic interaction and gestures, emphasizing teamwork. The color palette, dominated by earthy and cool tones, reflects the damp, misty atmosphere of the port. The background, with faintly sketched boats and cranes, adds depth and serenity to the composition, contrasting with the lively foreground activity. The light, although diffused, effectively highlights the metallic and organic elements, creating a balance between realism and narrative emotion. This painting is a testament to Estrada’s technical mastery and his ability to immortalize the essence of traditional fishing communities. Brief Biography of the Artist Ángel Estrada Escanciano (1933-2022) was a Spanish painter known for his realist depictions of everyday life. Deeply influenced by rural and maritime traditions, Estrada dedicated his career to preserving the cultural heritage of Spain through his art. With a rigorous technical approach, he participated in numerous regional and national exhibitions, earning recognition for his ability to capture both the atmosphere and emotion of his subjects. Similar Artists and Comparisons Joaquín Sorolla: While Sorolla employs a brighter, more impressionistic approach, both share an interest in maritime and everyday scenes. Ignacio Zuloaga: Estrada, like Zuloaga, reflects Spanish traditions, though with a less dramatic tone. Eustaquio Segrelles: Both artists focus on fishing life with a comparable attention to coastal environments. José María López Mezquita: Known for his detailed realism, López Mezquita’s works parallel Estrada’s in their focus on everyday labor and tradition. "Arrival of the Catch" is not just a representation of a moment but a cultural homage, preserving the hardworking spirit of Spanish coastal communities through the medium of art.

A Conundrum in the Kitchen
By Frank Hyde
Located in Missouri, MO
Frank Hyde (British 1849-1937) "A Conundrum in the Kitchen" c. 1900 Oil on Canvas Signed Lower Left Image: 37.5 x 57.5 inches Framed: 44 x 64.5 inches From the Maidstone Museum, UK: Hyde was born in Surrey in 1849 and spent a large amount of time in London during his youth. His father had been in the army but retired to live the life of a gentleman upon inheriting the family seat, Hyde End Manor in Berkshire. Hyde, however, would later inherit and sell the Manor. As a young man, Hyde trained as an artist at the Royal Academy, London, and his subsequent career revealed striking artistic versatility. His subjects varied from the portrayal of real, dramatic events to comic characters commissioned by the card manufacturer Raphael Tuck. Starting out as a 1st Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers, Hyde moved on to begin his career as a war artist during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, producing drawings for ‘The Graphic’, an illustrated weekly publication. Hyde married Constance Mary Louise Felgate in 1876, but she died less than a year later. While he travelled extensively throughout his life after Constance’s, death Hyde purchased a villa in Capri where he met Rosina Ferrara, whom he used as a model, and John Singer Sargent, with whom he shared a studio. Hyde is perhaps best known for his paintings of Capri...
