About the Item

Author: Joan Gil i Gil (Barcelona, 1900 – 1984) Title: Autumn Morning Date: 1934 Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 81 × 100 cm (31.9 × 39.4 in) Signature: Signed lower left: Joan Gil Inscription on the reverse: “Joan Gil – 1934 – Matí de tardor” Frame: Unframed Provenance: Private collection Condition: Excellent. The canvas is firm and well-stretched, with a stable pictorial layer and original impasto. Vibrant and well-preserved colors, with no pigment loss or retouching. DESCRIPTION In this large-format oil painting, Joan Gil i Gil depicts a Catalan rural landscape dominated by a Romanesque bell tower silhouetted against a vibrant, cloud-filled sky. The rich, impasto brushwork builds both the texture of the reddish earth and the volumes of the vegetation and whitewashed walls of the houses. The composition balances the architectural solidity of the village with the freshness of the cultivated fields in the foreground, achieving harmony between the human and the natural. The color palette—dominated by ochres, earthy reds, and greens contrasted with light blues—conveys the luminosity of an autumn morning, where the atmosphere plays as central a role as the forms themselves. The perspective, with a path leading toward the village, invites the viewer to step into the scene. This is an early work by the artist (1934), in which his mastery of the Mediterranean landscape and a pictorial sensitivity akin to Catalan Impressionism are already evident. BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST Joan Gil i Gil (Barcelona, 1900 – 1984) was a Catalan painter trained at the Escola de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi and later in Paris. A drawing and painting instructor, he developed a varied body of work that includes landscapes, portraits, and dance scenes. He participated in numerous group exhibitions and official contests, earning awards such as the Third Medal at the National Exhibition of Barcelona in 1941 and the Second Medal in 1944. His style is characterized by vigorous, impasto brushwork and rich color, clearly influenced by Mediterranean Post-Impressionism. His works are held in institutions such as the Museu d’Art Modern de Barcelona and the Museu del Teatre. SIMILAR ARTISTS In terms of style, technique, and subject matter, Joan Gil i Gil’s work can be compared to other great 20th-century Catalan painters: Ramon Calsina (1901–1992), for the structural solidity of his compositions. Josep Maria Mallol Suazo (1893–1970), for the impasto and chromatic vibration in his landscapes. Rafael Benet (1889–1979), critic and painter, sharing a similar atmospheric treatment. Isidre Nonell and Eliseu Meifrèn, as precursors within the Catalan school that paved the way toward modern pictorial expression.
