About the Item

Title: Shellfish Harvester in the Albufera of Valencia Artist: Juan González Alacreu Technique: Oil on canvas Style: Luminist costumbrism Dimensions without frame: 31.89 x 23.62 in Dimensions with frame: 42.52 x 34.25 in Condition: Framed with a decorative classic-style molding Signature: Lower-left corner: "González Alacreu" Description of the Artwork The painting depicts a traditional scene featuring a woman, possibly a shellfish harvester, near the Albufera of Valencia. The central figure, dressed in white, adjusts her headscarf as she prepares for work. At her feet, a wicker basket emphasizes the narrative of traditional labor in the region. Juan González Alacreu’s luminist costumbrism style combines meticulous attention to human figures with a particular focus on Mediterranean light and natural landscapes. The warm, vibrant colors and fluid brushstrokes create an atmosphere of tranquility and authenticity. The composition conveys the harmony between the human figure and the natural environment, a recurring theme in the artist's work. Artist Biography: Juan González Alacreu Juan González Alacreu (born in Burriana, Castellón, in 1937) is a Spanish painter renowned for his costumbrist scenes and depictions of Valencian landscapes. From a young age, he demonstrated artistic talent and trained at the prestigious School of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia. His works are a testament to traditional Valencian life, with a particular focus on women in their everyday settings. His style, known as luminist costumbrism, is a continuation of Joaquín Sorolla’s legacy, sharing mastery in capturing Mediterranean light. Alacreu specialized in portraying rural life, marketplaces, and local landscapes with detailed craftsmanship and a warm, luminous color palette. His works have been exhibited both in Spain and internationally and are part of significant private collections. Similar Artists and References Joaquín Sorolla: A direct influence on Alacreu’s style, particularly in his treatment of light and Mediterranean costumbrism. Francisco Lozano: Another Valencian painter who captured the region with a special sensitivity to landscapes and traditions. Ignacio Pinazo Camarlench: A Valencian predecessor of Sorolla, known for his costumbrist scenes and delicate use of light. Julio Romero de Torres: While focused on Andalusia, he shares Alacreu’s celebration of the female figure within regional and traditional contexts.
