About the Item

Title: Still Life Attributed to: Francisco González Romero Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 26.4 × 32.3 in (67 × 82 cm) Estimated date: c. 1950–1960 Support: Canvas stretched on wooden frame Signature: Unsigned Condition: Good. Slight craquelure and visible impasto accumulation in certain areas. Handwritten notes on the stretcher. Provenance: Private collection 🎨 Description This oil painting, attributed to the Spanish artist Francisco González Romero, presents a dense still life composition featuring plates, fruits, bottles and jugs that dissolve into an almost abstract vision. The pictorial treatment is heavily gestural and expressive, with thick impastos and energetic brushstrokes that build a dramatic and evocative atmosphere. The palette is dominated by earthy tones, greys, broken whites and deep reds, enhancing the tension between form and texture. The work reflects a symbolic interpretation of domestic elements through a language rooted in mid-century European expressionism. 👤 Artist Biography Francisco González Romero (b. Málaga, 1923) is a Spanish painter with a career spanning over seventy years. He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Málaga and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid. His work evolved from academic realism to a gestural and symbolic abstraction influenced by symbolism, cubism and surrealism. Besides painting, González Romero also worked in interior design and art education. In 2023, he was honored by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Telmo for his centennial contribution to Spanish art. His painting is marked by a strong material presence, intense textures and expressive force, which has influenced several generations of Andalusian artists. 🧩 Comparable Artists Due to his expressive use of matter, symbolic abstraction and gestural brushwork, his style shows affinities with renowned modern artists such as: Josep Guinovart Jean Dubuffet Antoni Clavé Jean-Paul Riopelle Antoni Tàpies (early material period) Eduardo Vicente (in his more experimental still lifes)
