Description
In this luminous costumbrista scene, Ignacio Gil Sala transports us to a traditional street in Ibiza, bathed in Mediterranean light. Whitewashed façades, hanging flowerpots, and the typical local architecture are combined with the vitality of the figures: a woman with a shawl and fan accompanied by two young girls, all portrayed with loose yet precise brushwork that captures the cheerful and spontaneous essence of the moment.
The composition is built with the chromatic mastery characteristic of the artist, featuring vibrant whites that reflect the intensity of the sun and contrast with the greens and pinks of the dresses. In the background, a church or iconic island building can be seen, completing a scene full of depth, rhythm, and life.
About the artist: Ignacio Gil Sala (1913–2003)
Ignacio Gil Sala was a prolific Catalan painter, born in Barcelona in 1913. He entered the School of Fine Arts at a very young age, where he demonstrated exceptional talent, earning the Silver Medal and a scholarship to copy works at the Prado Museum. His career spanned more than seven decades, during which he specialized in Mediterranean landscapes and costumbrismo (scenes of local customs), gaining particular recognition for his views of Ibiza, Mallorca, Valencia, and Andalusia.
His style is situated within Spanish Post-Impressionism, with clear luminist influences and a remarkable ability to capture the atmosphere and emotion of each location. He received numerous awards at both national and international exhibitions, including several prizes at the National Exhibition of Barcelona and the Painters of Africa Exhibition.
Castelldefels, where he lived, named a street after him, and the Consell Insular de les Illes Balears honored him for his artistic contribution to the image of Ibiza.

His first solo exhibition in Paris was in 1937 and he went on to exhibit in Madrid, London, Buenos Aires and New York. After three trips to Paris he finally settled there in 1936.
In Paris he was influenced by the paintings of Marcel Gromaire and especially Julius Pascin. He created theatrical sets and costumes for several plays including The Woman of Easy Virtue ( La Demoiselle de Petite Vertu) by Marcel Achard. He also illustrated many literary works including Madame Bovary by Flaubert, Bel-Ami by Maupassant, Colette's series of four Claudine novels, Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time ( À la Recherche du Temps Perdu), and works by poets including Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal...

Strasburg. Oil on cardboard, Figurative, Architecture, Polish art
By Magdalena Spasowicz
Located in Warsaw, PL
20th century figurative landscape oil on canvas on board painting by Polish artist Magdalena Spasowicz. Artwork is in classic style, it resembles impressionism. Composition is painted with wide brush strokes. Colors are muted. Artwork depicts a cityscape of Strasburg in France.
MAGDALENA SPASOWICZ Studied painting under prof. Jan Cybis and graphic arts with prof. Tadeusz Kulisiewicz at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. She received her diploma in 1953. Her works have been presented in numerous exhibitions in Poland and abroad, among others in Warsaw, London, New York, Bratislava, Washington, Moscow, Berlin, Budapest, and are to be found in private and public collections around the world. In 2017 two individual exhibition of the artists took place - at the Regional Museum in Kozienice Palace and at the Museum of Western Mazowsze in Zyrardow. Magdalena Spasowicz has been spending every single moment on painting for many years now. Most of her paintings are monochromatically coloured landscapes, of places where eye cheers soul with a sight close to heart, known and well remembered. French painting of Pissarro and Utrillo has been a very important inspiration for Magdalena Spasowicz. A desire to still-frame every moment when the artist meets Nature and beloved places is an imperative, which obliges to come back to canvas and paint, paint with a total devotion. The artistry of the places represented in the paintings of Magdalena...
