About the Item

Title: Bell Tower of a Spanish Village Artist: Joaquín Asensio Mariné (1890-1961) Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 25.6 x 21.3 in (65 x 54 cm) Framed: No Period: First half of the 20th century Movement: Late Impressionism / Spanish Costumbrismo DETAILED DESCRIPTION Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of a Spanish village with this captivating painting by Joaquín Asensio Mariné. Bell Tower of a Spanish Village is an evocative scene infused with the characteristic light and colors of the Mediterranean, where the artist masterfully depicts traditional architecture and daily life along a cobbled street, transporting us to another time. The canvas captures a picturesque corner, dominated by an elegant bell tower rising among stone buildings bathed in golden light. The interplay of shadows and reflections enhances the warmth of the setting, while the human figures add dynamism and authenticity to the composition. Asensio Mariné's loose and vibrant brushstrokes bring life and movement to the scene, reminding us of the importance of costumbrismo in Spanish painting. This work is a testament to the Catalan artistic tradition and the artist’s ability to capture the essence of small villages, with their unmistakable charm and unhurried rhythm. It is an ideal piece for collectors and art enthusiasts seeking a painting with history, atmosphere, and emotional depth. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Joaquín Asensio Mariné (Barcelona, 1890 - 1961) was a Spanish painter known for his urban and coastal landscapes, characterized by a luminous color palette and impressionistic brushwork. His work was influenced by the Catalan School of Painting, where artists such as Ramón Casas and Santiago Rusiñol shaped a style that blended realism with the expressiveness of color and light. Throughout his career, Asensio Mariné sensitively captured everyday life in Barcelona, its surrounding villages, and the Mediterranean beaches, reflecting the essence of Spanish costumbrismo with a technique reminiscent of Joaquín Mir and Eliseo Meifrén. His works have been auctioned at prestigious art houses and are part of private collections across Europe. MOVEMENT AND STYLE Joaquín Asensio Mariné’s work belongs to late Impressionism and Spanish costumbrismo of the early 20th century. His technique shows a strong influence from French and Catalan Impressionists, using quick, textured brushstrokes to masterfully capture light. At the same time, his subject matter is deeply rooted in costumbrismo, focusing on scenes of daily life in towns and cities. SIMILAR ARTISTS If you admire the style of Joaquín Asensio Mariné, you may also enjoy works by: Ramón Casas (1866-1932): A leader of Catalan modernism, known for his vibrant color palette and depictions of urban life. Santiago Rusiñol (1861-1931): Renowned for his atmospheric landscapes and gardens, often evoking a melancholic beauty. Eliseo Meifrén (1859-1940): A master of Mediterranean light and color in his coastal and rural scenes. Joaquín Mir (1873-1940): A pioneer of expressive landscape painting, capturing the essence of the Mediterranean with bold, vivid brushstrokes. Bell Tower of a Spanish Village presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Spanish art history, showcasing the unmistakable style of Joaquín Asensio Mariné.
