DESCRIPTION
In Beach Day, Costa Brava, Spain, Josep Puigdengolas masterfully captures the essence of a tranquil summer day by the Mediterranean. The scene depicts a cove with calm waters, where human figures enjoy the sea, while a woman seated under a parasol adds an intimate and contemplative counterpoint to the composition.
The artist employs his signature loose and colorful brushwork to suggest movement, light, and atmosphere. The bluish tones of the water blend with the ochres of the rocks and the vivid touches of the bathers, evoking the joyful and relaxed mood of the Catalan coast in the 1960s. The composition is both solid and free, echoing Mediterranean Post-Impressionism.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST
Josep Puigdengolas Barella (Barcelona, 1906–1987) was one of the most important Catalan landscape painters of the 20th century. Trained at La Llotja and later in Florence, he became a professor of Landscape at the School of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi. He received several prestigious awards, including First Prize at the 1941 Autumn Salon, and his works are held in collections such as the Reina Sofía Museum and the MNAC.
A specialist in Mediterranean landscapes, seascapes, and rural corners, his style evolved from realism to a freer, more luminous language deeply rooted in Catalan tradition.
