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.

19th Century genre oil painting of a woman & child in a Welsh cottage
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
Alfred Provis British, (1818-1890) By the Fireside Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1869 Image size: 10.5 inches x 15.5 inches Size including frame: 21.5 inches x 26.5 inches This charming cottage scene by Alfred Provis features a woman preparing supper by a fire with her young daughter. As the mother peels the turnips and places them in the pot, the girl’s attention is drawn to the kitten feeding from a saucer. The dress and hat of the woman bears a similarity to those found Provis’s other scenes of Welsh cottage interiors. The artist was known to have visited North Wales around the time this painting was produced. In 1869, he exhibited a work entitled ‘Interior of a Welsh Farmhouse’ at the Royal Society of British Artists. Given the level of detail in the painting and the fact that it is in such an impressive original frame, it is possible this is the same painting as the one exhibited. Alfred Provis was a genre painter born on 18 February, 1818 in Chippenham, Wiltshire. He was the son of John Provis, a timber merchant and his second wife Ann Banks. He spent time in London being tutored by the historical and portrait artist John Wood (1801-1870) before returning to Chippenham. He began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists in 1843, continuing to exhibit there regularly until 1886. He made his debut at the Royal Academy in 1846 with a work entitled ‘A Cottage Door...
