Salvador Murillo
Salvador Murillo "Solitary Figure on a Road" - Framed Antique Landscape Painting

1878

About the Item

I actually prefer this painting to the very slightly larger one by Murillo that sold for $11,600 at auction (Hargesheimer & Günther) in 2009. Another couple of paintings sold at auction (see my photo of these auction records), also a bit larger, went quite high as well - one of them to almost $25,000, and this was a wholesale (auction) price. This painting is oil on a wood panel, and is sharp, bold and detailed. I love the contrasts between light and dark. If you look closely, there is a solitary figure standing in a thin spray of light coming through the forest on the right size of the meandering river. Murillo was born in Durango, Mexico in 1840 and influenced other Mexican artists with his masterful grasp of European techniques. You can find a Wikipedia entry on him (in Spanish) online. 19" x 25" (9" x 15.5" panel only). Wonderful frame. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee of satisfaction.
