Eduardo Arroyo Paintings

Spanish, b. 1937

Eduardo Arroyo was born in 1937 in Madrid, where he studied at the French high school, at the Instituto de Nuestra Señora de la Almudena, then at the School of Journalism. The young man was immediately attracted by the power of the image. Engaged artist and critic, he tended to demystify the art with a pictorial speech converting him into an inspiring personality of narrative figuration. Arroyo considered painting with the ability as a storyteller. In 1958, he was 20 years old, he marked his opposition to the Franco regime, he fled Spain and joined Paris, where he lived until 1982. Arroyo returned to his native land only 15 years later, his obsession with exile and a history of conflicts have fueled his art, both controversial and suffused with irony and lyricism. The style of Arroyo is intentionally neutral and easily readable. From the 70s, Arroyo used painting techniques and ever more diverse subjects, creating puzzles, juxtapositions, building a universe and an imaginary specific to him. He is also a scenic designer for theatre and a writer. He died in his hometown of Madrid in October 2018, when he was 81 years old.

The Grape Seller - Workshop of Jacob Ochtervelt
Located in Stockholm, SE
Jacob Ochtervelt (Workshop) The Grape Seller oil on canvas unframed: 80.7 x 61 cm.; 31 ¾ x 24 in. framed: 109.5 x 89 cm.; 43 1/8 x 35 in. Essay: This captivating piece, originating from the studio of the revered Dutch artist Jacob Ochtervelt, mirrors the composition of a signed and dated 1669 canvas by Ochtervelt that is presently housed in the Hermitage museum. Its subject, "The Grape Seller" immerses us in a typical 17th-century interior, replete with characters from various strata of society. At the center, a fruit vendor is depicted bending over to weigh grapes for the buyer. A child hands some of the grapes to her mother to taste, their attentive maid standing by. The backdrop showcases typical Ochtervelt details: a hint of the city visible through the doorway, light filtering in through an overhead window, and a playful dog at their side. The exquisite quality of the piece is evident in the minutiae, such as the intricate detailing of the mother's earring, which in reality spans only a few millimeters yet boasts impressive attention to detail. Initially, Sotheby's considered this work to be an autograph piece by Ochtervelt. But due to some uncertainty, it was auctioned as Workshop of Jacob Ochtervelt. On the other hand, the esteemed Cabinet Turquin in Paris leans toward attributing the piece directly to Jacob Ochtervelt himself. The painting is framed in an authentic period frame, which has been delicately restored by Stockholm's Förgyllning och Bildhuggeri. The frame retains its age-old patina and, while in used condition, has minor imperfections adding to its charm. Another interesting thing worth to mention is the painting's provenance. It was once owned by the 1st Viscount Rothermere (1868-1940), the founder of the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror...
