About the Item

Title: Shepherd in the Pyrenees Artist: Enric Porta i Mestre (1898–1993) Technique: Oil on canvas Style: Post-Impressionism with Expressionist influences Dimensions: Unframed: 23.6 x 31.9 in Framed: 29.9 x 38.2 in Signature: Signed in the lower right corner as "E. Porta". Date: 1956 (according to the inscription on the back). DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK Shepherd in the Pyrenees by Enric Porta i Mestre depicts a rural scene with a striking sense of introspection and evocative charm. The painting portrays a shepherd tending to his flock amidst the mountainous landscape typical of the Catalan Pyrenees. The composition captures the serenity and beauty of nature through vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes. The work reflects a Post-Impressionist style with loose, bold strokes and vivid tones, combined with Expressionist influences in its ability to evoke emotions beyond the physical depiction. The energetic and textured brushwork infuses the painting with a lively rhythm, while the rich palette of greens and blues immerses the viewer in the landscape's tranquil atmosphere. In this piece, Porta i Mestre showcases a mastery of color and light, illustrating his deep connection to his homeland and its rural life, which served as a source of inspiration throughout his career. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Enric Porta i Mestre (La Pobla de Segur, 1898–1993) was a Catalan painter known for his landscapes, still lifes, and costumbrist depictions. Trained in Lleida and Barcelona, Porta debuted in 1922 with an exhibition in the Catalan capital. He later moved to Paris to further his artistic studies, where he connected with avant-garde artists such as Miquel Villà i Bassols. His work reflects influences from Cézanne and Courbet, visible in his textured technique and structured approach to landscapes. Throughout his career, Porta exhibited at prestigious galleries like Syra in Barcelona and participated in numerous art salons in France and Spain. Contemporary critics, including Sebastià Gasch, praised Porta’s artistic honesty and strong personal style, hailing him as a master of color and composition. His legacy celebrates his deep connection with Catalan nature and his ability to transform everyday scenes into visually rich works of art. SIMILAR ARTISTS Joaquim Mir (1873–1940): A Modernist landscape painter celebrated for his bold use of light and color. Hermen Anglada-Camarasa (1871–1959): Renowned for his vibrant palette and depictions of traditional scenes. Gustave Courbet (1819–1877): A major influence on Porta, particularly in his textured realism. Paul Cézanne (1839–1906): A source of inspiration for his use of color and geometric treatment of landscapes.
