DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
This painting depicts a panoramic view of Palma Bay from the sea, dominated by a wide, cloud-covered sky, with the city suggested in the distance. On the horizon, the unmistakable silhouette of La Seu Cathedral stands out. The sea, calm and gently rippled, is traversed by small steamships leaving subtle trails of smoke. The composition employs a cool and restrained palette, with bluish-gray and watery green tones that enhance the misty, melancholic atmosphere of the scene.
The brushwork is loose and atmospheric, aligned with the Post-Impressionist tradition, with special attention given to the sky and its gradations, which occupy a large portion of the canvas. The result is a contemplative, serene scene in which sea and sky merge into poetic continuity.
ABOUT THE ARTIST: JOSEP COLL BARDOLET
Josep Coll Bardolet was born in Campdevànol (Girona) in 1912 and died in Valldemossa (Mallorca) in 2007. He trained at the Municipal Drawing School of Vic and later at the Higher School of Landscape in Olot. During the Spanish Civil War, he went into exile in Belgium and France, where he furthered his studies and came into contact with contemporary European art movements. In 1944, he settled permanently in Valldemossa, which became the center of his artistic life.
His work is characterized by representations of Mediterranean landscapes—especially those of Mallorca—rural scenes, and folk dances, always approached with a serene and harmonious perspective. He also worked with gouache and printmaking. Coll Bardolet was an active cultural promoter in the Balearic Islands, organizing artistic and musical events. Among other honors, he was awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi by the Government of Catalonia and the Gold Medal of the Balearic Government.
SIMILAR ARTISTS
Josep Coll Bardolet can be situated within the tradition of 20th-century Mediterranean landscape painters, with Post-Impressionist influences and a sensitivity akin to lyrical realism. Some internationally renowned artists with stylistic or thematic affinities include:
Claude Monet (1840–1926): Especially for his atmospheric treatment of skies and water, although Coll Bardolet maintained a more recognizable and less abstract figuration.
Camille Corot (1796–1875): A key reference for European landscape painters, with a similar sensitivity in portraying misty horizons and scenes bridging realism and visual poetry.
Joaquín Sorolla (1863–1923): Though with a more luminous and vibrant palette, he shares with Coll Bardolet a deep interest in the Mediterranean and everyday life along the coast.
Gustave Loiseau (1865–1935): A French Post-Impressionist who painted harbors and rivers with rhythmic brushwork and a comparable atmospheric mood.
Santiago Rusiñol (1861–1931): In terms of subject matter, poetic approach to landscape, and his affinity with Mallorca as a source of inspiration.

Josep Coll i Bardolet (Campdevànol, Ripollés, November 7, 1912 - Valldemosa, July 30, 2007) was a Spanish painter. He studied in Vich and Olot. At the end of 1936, when the civil war began, he went into exile from Spain, and settled the following year in Tours, where he had his first individual exhibition in the gallery of the Touraine Institute. At Christmas 1937, he moved to Brussels, He worked in the port of Antwerp and enrolled in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. He remained in the Belgian capital until 1939, the year of the outbreak of the Second World War, when he decided to return to Spain. He initially settled in Barcelona. Subsequently, he remained for a few years in Mallorca, although with a hiatus of a few months in Madrid, where he studied engraving at the San Fernando Academy. Finally, in 1944, he settled permanently in Valldemosa (Mallorca). He exhibited in Vic, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, France, Belgium, Sweden, Norway and in the United States. His painting, sensitive and sincere, in an impressionist style, has drawn the landscape, agricultural work and Majorcan dances with watercolor, collage and especially oil painting. He also dedicated himself to still life and illustration. Coll Bardolet was also one of the founders of the Balearic Cultural Work. In 1964, he decided to promote choral music by organizing the Torrente de Pareis Concert, which has been held annually since then. When he died, he donated most of his work to the Sanctuary of Lluc, in Mallorca. Another part was bequeathed to the Coll Bardolet Cultural Foundation in Valldemosa.

Potato Barn (Impressionist Rural Landscape, Sun Dappled Country Road on a Farm)
By Harry Orlyk
Located in Hudson, NY
Impressionist style en plein air landscape painting on linen of a sun dappled dirt road leading to a barn
#5963 Potato Barn, 2022 painted by Harry Orlyk
oil on linen, ready to hang as is
14 x 14.5 inches
Harry Orlyk is celebrated for his ability to capture rural country landscapes with impressionistic brushstrokes and bright color palettes. Painting daily, the artist drives throughout the upstate New York, stopping to observe and paint 'en plain air' whenever and wherever a landscape strikes him. This painting is a perfect example of Orlyk's impressionistic aesthetic. Here, the artist captures a winding dirt road leading to an old potato barn, likely sited on a neighbor's farm close to the artist's home. A wonderful blend of luscious color is layered to create the foreground. The application of paint and color feel effortless, while the balance of the composition suggests the experience that comes from a lifetime of painting plein air and completely in the moment. Orlyk surrounds to teh natural beauty, its climate, and truly embodies the romantic truth of his beloved rural landscape.
About the artist:
Harry Orlyk was born in Troy, New York in 1947. In 1971 after graduating college, he went on to graduate school at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln . Over the next nine years, he was influenced by several Nebraskan artists. "Still-life painter Robin Smith taught me how to use paint without turpentine - to paint from the tube." He also admits the influence of photographer Lawrence McFarland who taught him what spiritual space was, and how to emphasize it. Lastly he credits well-known Lincoln painter Keith Jacobshagen...
