About the Item

Artist: Ramón de Capmany (1899-1992) Title: "Rural Scene at Sunset" Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 18 x 24 inches Framing: Unframed Period: 1960s Style: Costumbrismo with Impressionist influences Condition: Good Description of the Artwork "Rural Scene at Sunset" is a painting that sensitively captures everyday life in a rural setting. The composition features a group of human figures, along with a donkey and a cart, set in an open landscape beneath a dynamic sky painted with warm and soft tones, evoking the golden light of sunset. The artist employs loose, textured brushstrokes that blend realistic details with an impressionistic touch. Earthy tones, greens, and blues dominate the palette, enhancing the nostalgic atmosphere and connection to nature. The movement and interaction among the figures, combined with the rural surroundings, create a rich and emotive visual narrative. Capmany’s style is characterized by a balance between costumbrismo (a focus on traditional customs) and impressionist elements, showcasing his skill in capturing daily moments with depth and authenticity. The painting conveys a sense of cultural heritage and simplicity, hallmarks of his artistic output during the 1960s. Brief Biography of the Artist: Ramón de Capmany Ramón de Capmany (Barcelona, 1899-1992) was a Catalan painter known for his ability to portray costumbrista scenes and rural landscapes. From an early age, he showed a deep connection to art and cultural traditions. He trained at the School of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi, where he developed his unique style influenced by realism and impressionism. Capmany dedicated much of his career to depicting rural life, landscapes, and traditional customs from Catalonia and other regions of Spain. His work is distinguished by expressive use of color, textured brushstrokes, and a talent for capturing both atmosphere and human emotions. Throughout his lifetime, he exhibited nationally and internationally, and many of his pieces are part of private and public collections. As an artist, Capmany stood out as a defender of cultural heritage, using art as a means to preserve traditions in the face of the social and economic changes of his time. Comparable International Artists Camille Pissarro (France): Known for his depictions of rural life, with loose brushstrokes and harmonious colors. Jean-François Millet (France): Famous for his portrayals of peasants and costumbrista scenes imbued with social sensitivity. Joaquín Sorolla (Spain): While more focused on Mediterranean light, he shares with Capmany the representation of daily life and traditions. Alfred Sisley (France): An Impressionist landscapist with a special sensitivity for atmosphere and color. Jules Breton (France): Renowned for his focus on rural figures and landscapes, with a realist yet melancholic approach.
