📝 Artwork Description
Barcelona and Its People captures a lively urban scene bathed in the luminous Mediterranean light, a hallmark of Joan Roig Soler’s impressionistic style. The artist portrays a bustling street filled with elegant figures strolling, mingling, and enjoying a bright, serene day. The thick, rapid brushstrokes, the interplay of light and shadow, and the vibrant palette are all defining traits of Catalan Impressionism.
A majestic baroque-style building occupies the left side of the composition, its elaborate façade contrasting with the sunlit architecture and azure sky in the background. Women in 19th-century attire add a nostalgic and picturesque charm to the scene. This work is a poetic tribute to Barcelona’s transformation during the late 19th century.
👤 About the Artist: Joan Roig Soler

A key figure in Catalan Impressionism, Roig Soler became known for his atmospheric urban views, coastal scenes, and landscapes, all distinguished by his masterful treatment of light and lively brushwork.
His work reflects a deep sensitivity to daily life and the Mediterranean ambiance, combining realism with impressionistic spontaneity.
