Cadaqués Costa Brava Mediterranean Harbor with Fishing Boats and Whitewashed Village Artist: Rafael Durán Benet (1931–2015) Medium: Oil on canvas laid on cardboard Dimensions: 13 x 16.1 in (33 x 41 cm) Frame: Unframed Origin: Spain Subject: Cadaqués, Costa Brava, Mediterranean harbor, fishing boats, whitewashed village Style: Post-Impressionist, Mediterranean Modernism Period: Mid-20th century Condition: Good vintage condition, with minor signs of age consistent with an original period artwork. Please refer to the photographs for full details. Signature: Signed lower right “R. Duran” Description A highly atmospheric Mediterranean coastal scene by Rafael Durán Benet, depicting the unmistakable visual world of Cadaqués on the Costa Brava, with traditional fishing boats resting in the foreground and a cluster of luminous whitewashed houses rising behind the harbor. The composition combines several of the most desirable subjects in 20th-century Catalan painting: Cadaqués, the Costa Brava, Mediterranean architecture, fishing boats and brilliant coastal light. Durán Benet constructs the scene with broad, confident brushwork and a sophisticated palette of turquoise, ivory, ochre, green and deep violet. The boats are reduced to strong, elegant shapes, while the white façades of the village dissolve into soft planes of light and color. Rather than pursuing photographic detail, the artist captures the atmosphere of Cadaqués through rhythm, light and simplified form. The turquoise water creates a luminous horizontal band across the composition, while the boats and architecture establish a balanced sequence of shapes characteristic of his mature Mediterranean landscapes. The painting evokes the quiet charm of the historic fishing village of Cadaqués, one of the most iconic artistic destinations on the Costa Brava and one of the great recurring subjects of modern Catalan art. Biography Rafael Durán Benet was born in Terrassa, Catalonia, in 1931 and died in Barcelona in 2015. He was the nephew of Rafael Benet i Vancells, the important Catalan painter, critic and art historian, who played a significant role in his early artistic development. During the 1950s Durán Benet settled in Cadaqués, on the Costa Brava, where the Mediterranean landscape became one of the defining themes of his career. The village, its harbor, whitewashed architecture, fishing boats and surrounding coastline provided him with an enduring visual vocabulary. Cadaqués was also one of the great artistic meeting points of 20th-century Europe. During his years there, Durán Benet moved within the cultural environment associated with figures such as Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp and Pablo Picasso. His first solo exhibition was held in 1958 at Sala Vayreda in Barcelona. He later exhibited extensively in Barcelona, Madrid and Cadaqués, as well as internationally in cities including Paris, London, Houston and Los Angeles. He also maintained a longstanding relationship with the prestigious Sala Parés in Barcelona. In 1980, Durán Benet received the Henri Forman Prize from the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 2011, the city of Terrassa honored him with a retrospective exhibition at the Sala Muncunill. His paintings are immediately recognizable for their luminous Mediterranean palette, simplified architecture, expressive brushwork and ability to transform everyday coastal scenes into poetic studies of light and atmosphere. Artistic Inspiration This work belongs directly to the great tradition of Mediterranean and Costa Brava landscape painting that shaped modern Catalan art during the 20th century. The subject of Cadaqués places the painting within a particularly important artistic context. The village became internationally associated with artists including Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp, while its extraordinary light, rocky coastline, fishing boats and whitewashed architecture attracted generations of painters. Durán Benet interprets this world through a personal post-impressionist language. His broad brushwork, simplified forms and flattened perspective give the composition a modern character, while his sensitivity to atmosphere preserves the intimacy and authenticity of traditional Mediterranean landscape painting. A particularly appealing example of Spanish and Catalan Mediterranean painting, combining several highly searchable and collectible subjects: Cadaqués, Costa Brava, Mediterranean harbor, fishing boats, whitewashed village and Spanish modern art. Cadaqués paintings are especially sought after for their association with the artistic heritage of the Costa Brava and with figures such as Salvador Dalí, Picasso and Duchamp. This work offers that cultural connection while retaining the decorative immediacy and color that make Mediterranean paintings especially attractive in contemporary interiors. Its compact 13 x 16.1 inch format makes it particularly versatile for collectors and interior designers seeking authentic European art with strong regional identity. Ideal for collectors of Spanish Modern Art, Catalan Painting, Cadaqués Painting, Costa Brava Art, Mediterranean Landscape, Harbor Painting, Marine Painting, Fishing Boat Art, Post-Impressionism and Mid-Century European Painting.

A Colorful, Modern Maine Coastal Scene Painting, "White Boat in Harbor" by Famed Chicago Artist and Printmaker, Charles Turzak (Am. 1899 - 1986). The painting depicts a vibrant, sunlit autumn landscape painting most likely painted near the quiet rural harbor town of Penobscot, Maine. The painting is acrylic on canvas, dates from the 1950s and has a great visual appeal- a perfect complement to any New England coastal home or summer cottage in Maine. Artwork size: 20 x 36 inches, accompanied with the artist's original, hand-painted frame (Framed size: 21 3/4 x 36 1/2 inches). Signed "Turzak", lower left; titled on artist's label on reverse. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Charles Turzak was one of Chicago’s greatest printmakers of the Art Deco-era. Son of a coal miner, Turzak was born in Streeter, IL in 1899. In 1920, Turzak won the first prize a cartoon contest sponsored by the Purina company and he used his prize money to enroll in the Art Institute of Chicago. Best known as a print maker, in the 1920s & 30s, he created woodcuts of many of Chicago’s most notable buildings, including the Merchandise Mart, Palmolive Building and the Old Water Tower, among others. In 1933, he was commissioned to create woodcuts of many of Chicago’s most iconic buildings to illustrate a guidebook called “All About Chicago” by John and Ruth Ashenhurst” that featured the upcoming Century of Progress Exhibition in Chicago.

Dimensions with frame: 28,3 x 37 x 4 cm Signed and titled "C. Carelli Napoli" in the lower right corner. A closely related companion painting by the same artist—depicting a similar view of the Bay of Naples under different atmospheric conditions and of identical dimensions—is also currently available, offering the opportunity to acquire a rare and decorative pair. This charming and atmospheric landscape depicts a lively scene along the Bay of Naples with the majestic Mount Vesuvius rising in the background. The composition captures the vibrant character of southern Italy, where daily life unfolds along the waterfront beneath the iconic volcano. In the foreground, a bustling open-air market is sheltered beneath large canvas awnings supported by wooden poles. Groups of figures gather around tables, creating a sense of activity and local color. Their lively gestures and varied attire animate the scene, suggesting a moment of social exchange and commerce. Beyond the market, the calm waters of the bay reflect the warm tones of the sky. Small fishing boats and rowboats glide across the harbor, guiding the eye toward the distant shoreline where the city of Naples stretches along the coast. Dominating the horizon, Mount Vesuvius releases a delicate plume of smoke, adding both drama and authenticity to this classic Neapolitan view. The artist skillfully balances narrative detail with atmospheric landscape painting. Warm sunlight illuminates the architecture and shoreline, while soft clouds diffuse the sky, enhancing the depth and tranquility of the scene. The painting reflects the tradition of 19th- and early 20th-century Italian veduta and tourist paintings, highly sought after for their romantic depictions of historic Italian landscapes. This evocative work would make a wonderful addition to collections of Italian landscape painting, Grand Tour subjects, or historic views of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.
