About the Item

**Technical Sheet** Title: Cadaqués Artist: Rafael Durán Benet (Terrassa, 1931 - Barcelona, 2015) Technique: Oil on canvas board Dimensions: 13 x 16 inches (33 x 41 cm) Year: Undated (likely mid to late 20th century) Signed: Yes, lower right corner "R. Duran" Framed: No Provenance: Label on the back "Bellas Artes – Villafranca, Barcelona" --- Description of the artwork: "Cadaqués" captures the luminous and Mediterranean essence of one of Catalonia's most iconic coastal villages. The painting, infused with bright and atmospheric light, conveys the serene charm of Cadaqués through free and vibrant brushwork characteristic of the artist’s Impressionist style. The color palette emphasizes the intense whites of the houses, contrasting beautifully with the deep greens of trees and vibrant yellows and oranges, adding warmth and dynamic movement. The artwork evokes not merely a landscape but a sensory experience of light and color. --- Brief Biography of the Artist: Rafael Durán Benet was a prominent Catalan painter rooted in the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist traditions of Catalonia. Mentored by notable artists such as Ramón Sanvisens and Joaquim Mir, Durán Benet developed a distinctive pictorial language that captured the Mediterranean light. His works are characterized by expressive color use, dynamic compositions, and a particular sensitivity in portraying coastal, rural, and urban landscapes with emotional authenticity. Durán Benet exhibited widely in Spain and Europe, participating in numerous solo and group exhibitions, and his works are featured in important private collections. --- International Artists with Similar Styles: - Paul Cézanne (France): For structuring landscapes through solid brushwork and attention to light. - Claude Monet (France): Due to his sensitivity in capturing atmospheric effects and Impressionist use of color. - Joaquín Sorolla (Spain): Renowned for uniquely capturing Mediterranean light with vivid luminosity and vibrant colors. - Camille Pissarro (Denmark/France): Known for landscapes exploring luminous and atmospheric effects with agile and direct brushstrokes.
