Calo Carratalá
Benasque 2 by C. Carratalá - large painting, mountain landscape, Pyrenees, Spain

2017

About the Item

Benasque 2 (Snow series) is a painting by Spanish contemporary artist Calo Carratalá. Oil on canvas, 160 x 200 cm. This work of art represents a mountainous winter landscape in the Pyrenean valley of Bénasque. This high mountain peak, imposing and rocky, appears to blend into the grey clouds illuminated by a gentle sunlight. This painting is an oil on canvas in which white and grey tones are dominant. With a passion for traveling, Calo Carratalá has taken in myriad landscapes : from the Amazon to Colorado, the Alps and the Pyrenees and up to the forests of Norway. Armed with sketchbook the artist immortalizes the sensations he obtains from these panoramas. Similar to the artists from the romantic period, the type of nature that Calo Carratalá paints is both troubling, even worrying and really grand, inciting admiration and contemplation.

There is another vein to which the new paintings of Nahmad refer and it is that of Romanticism, in the strong idea that art should represent the sublime, not the beautiful. The skies like John Constable, thick with purplish blue clouds (such as "Rainstorm over the Sea" of 1828 which anticipates by a century modernity), the stormy seas like William Turner, give the viewer the idea of infinity and vastness of nature compared to the finitude and misery of the human.
