About the Item

Author: Rosendo González Carbonell Title: Mother and Child Technique: Oil on canvas Style: Figurative with elements of Romanticism and Realism Dimensions: 24 x 20 inches (26.4 x 22 inches including the frame) Date: 1960s Condition: Good condition, with visible brushstrokes and expressive use of color. Signature: Located in the lower-left corner. Description The painting "Mother and Child", created by Rosendo González Carbonell in the 1960s, is an intimate and emotional depiction of the maternal bond. The artwork belongs to a figurative style, incorporating Romantic and Realist elements. This is evident in the tender representation of human emotions and the naturalistic depiction of the figures. The composition is characterized by a warm and enveloping atmosphere, achieved through earthy and pinkish tones that illuminate the central figures against a dark, textured background. The child, holding an orange, symbolizes life, purity, and abundance. The woman, with a serene and protective expression, reflects the emotional connection and closeness between the characters. Carbonell’s loose and expressive brushstrokes add depth and texture to the painting, enhancing its dynamism while maintaining an ethereal quality. The classical golden frame (26.4 x 22 inches) complements the piece, emphasizing its timeless and solemn nature. Artist’s Biography Rosendo González Carbonell (1909-1986) was a Spanish painter renowned for his ability to portray emotional and symbolic scenes. His work often blended costumbrista themes with a Romantic sensibility, showcasing everyday life, family bonds, and spiritual moments with a focus on human emotion. Born in Spain, Carbonell initially drew inspiration from classical masters but developed a personal style that merged traditional oil techniques with a modern, emotive approach. During the 1960s, he produced many works that reflected themes of motherhood and childhood, often celebrated for their warmth and universality. Style Comparison with Renowned Artists The style of Rosendo González Carbonell aligns with: Bartolomé Esteban Murillo: For his warm, devotional depictions of family and religious scenes with a soft palette. Eugène Carrière: For his hazy, emotive atmosphere and focus on the intimacy of human relationships. William-Adolphe Bouguereau: For his idealized, emotional treatment of human figures, with meticulous attention to detail and a balance of realism and sentimentality.

"Winter Wonderland"
Located in Edinburgh, GB
Unidentified Artist (19th Century) "Winter Wonderland" (1885) This charming 19th-century oil painting captures a winter landscape, depicting three figures trudging through the snow, engaged in animated conversation. The scene is set against a serene rural backdrop, where bare trees and a distant village silhouette convey the stark beauty of winter. The soft glow of the sky, transitioning from warm hues to cool whites, enhances the tranquil yet brisk atmosphere of a cold winter’s day. Plot & Interpretation The three travelers appear to be peasants or laborers, possibly returning home or embarking on a journey. Their layered winter clothing, fur hats, and backpacks suggest they are seasoned wanderers or workers, braving the elements. The gesturing figure in the middle seems to be engaged in storytelling or giving directions, adding a sense of movement and interaction. The snow-covered ground and delicate shadows create depth, emphasizing the hardship and resilience of rural life in the 19th century. Materials & Condition Medium: Oil on canvas Framed Dimensions: 47 x 46 cm Canvas Dimensions: 24 x 34 cm Frame: Ornate giltwood frame, enhancing the painting’s classical aesthetic Condition: Well-preserved with minor age-related patina, in line with its 1885 dating Historical Context & Artistic Style Likely influenced by Northern European realism, particularly Russian, German, or Scandinavian schools that depicted harsh winters and rural peasant life. Comparable to the works of Adolf von Meckel, Vasily Perov, or Carl...
