DESCRIPTION
This work captures one of the most recognizable views of the Port of Mahón (Menorca), with the whitewashed houses cascading down the hillside, a clear sky above, and bustling harbor activity in the foreground. Joan Vives Llull, a master at capturing the Mediterranean atmosphere, employs a loose, vibrant, and impasto-rich brushstroke that conveys the island’s dazzling light and the movement of the water.
The reflections of houses and boats shimmering on the sea, rendered with bold, confident strokes, reveal the artist’s skill in balancing realism and emotion, turning the scene into a tribute to Menorca’s harbor life.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Joan Vives Llull (Maó, 1901 – Menorca, 1982) is considered the first modern painter of Menorca. Trained in Mallorca under the influence of Hermen Anglada-Camarasa, he returned to his native island in the 1930s, where he directed the municipal drawing school and became a key figure in the pictorial renewal of Menorca.
His painting, rooted in Impressionism and Luminism, is defined by impasto, direct brushwork, and a masterful command of Mediterranean light. He devoted much of his oeuvre to depicting Menorca’s coves, harbors, and landscapes, becoming one of the island’s visual chroniclers.
Today, his works can be found in private collections, institutions, and museums such as the Museo de Menorca and Museu de Ses Voltes in Mallorca.
RELATED ARTISTS
Vives Llull’s work resonates with the Mediterranean tradition of Joaquín Sorolla in its treatment of light, with the material intensity of Hermen Anglada-Camarasa, and evokes the post-impressionist sensibility of Joaquín Mir, Santiago Rusiñol, and Ricardo Anckermann.
