About the Item

Title: Pyrenean Village Artist: Manuel Zamora Muñoz (1928-2006) Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 25.6 x 39.4 in Support: Canvas Framing: Unframed Signature: Signed in the lower right corner Style: Impressionist landscape painting Provenance: Private collection Condition: Overall, the painting is in good condition, with the paint well adhered to the canvas. Shows mild craquelure in some impasto areas, indicating natural aging. A patch on the reverse suggests a prior restoration. The colors remain vibrant, and the paint layer maintains its cohesion without significant lifting. Description of the Artwork Manuel Zamora Muñoz's Pyrenean Village depicts a lively urban scene in a traditional mountain village, featuring characteristic arcades and balconies. Through loose and expressive brushstrokes, the artist captures the essence of a small town, with daily life reflected in the figures walking along the cobbled street. Light plays a fundamental role in the composition, emphasizing the volume of the buildings and the texture of the materials with a balanced color palette. Earthy and ochre tones dominate the painting, harmonized with hints of blue and green. The perspective of the street and the arrangement of architectural elements guide the viewer’s gaze into the background, creating a sense of depth and movement. Born in Morón de la Frontera (Seville) in 1928, Manuel Zamora Muñoz moved to Olot (Girona), where he spent most of his career influenced by the Olot School of Landscape Painters. Throughout his artistic journey, he captured urban and natural landscapes of Catalonia, Barcelona, Ibiza, and Cadaqués, working in an Impressionist style with a strong atmospheric sensitivity. The artist received several awards, including the Bronze Medal in Castellón in 1972 and the Àncora de Oro Prize in Palamós in 1976. In 1991, a monograph titled Síntesis de una obra plástica was published, analyzing his artistic production. Similar International Artists Manuel Zamora Muñoz’s style is reminiscent of major artists who explored landscapes and light with expressive brushwork and an atmospheric vision of reality. Some of them include: Claude Monet (1840-1926): The father of Impressionism, known for his loose brushwork and masterful treatment of light. Camille Pissarro (1830-1903): Famous for his depictions of rural and urban landscapes, sharing a sensitivity for daily life with Zamora Muñoz. Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923): Although focused on Mediterranean light, Sorolla’s palette and brushstrokes echo the vibrant expressiveness of the Spanish artist. Santiago Rusiñol (1861-1931): A key figure in Catalan Modernism, his vision of landscapes and architecture connects with Zamora Muñoz’s work, particularly in the depiction of small villages and cobbled streets. This oil on canvas is a testament to Manuel Zamora Muñoz’s talent, an artist who, while not widely recognized internationally, made a notable impact on Spanish 20th-century landscape painting.
