Giuseppe Canella Figurative Paintings
Italian, 1788-1847
Giuseppe Canella (Verona, July 28, 1788 - Florence, September 11, 1847) was an Italian vedute painter.
Giuseppe Canella receives the first rudiments in art from his father Giovanni, architect, fresco painter and scenographer. He began by performing scenographies and decorations for aristocratic residences in Verona and Mantua. Probably influenced by Pietro Ronzoni, he turned to landscape painting, approaching the genre of veduta in 1815, after a brief stay in Venice.
He exhibited at the fine arts of the Academy of Brera (1818) and undertook a trip to Spain, the Netherlands and France where he stayed until 1832, traveling between Paris, Fontainebleau, Normandy, Alsace and the country from Baden.
In 1831, he sent thirteen landscapes to the exhibition of the Academy of Brera where he obtained a certain success both from the public and from the critics, also comforted by the notoriety achieved in Paris by his presence in various salons and the orders of Louis Philippe d'Orléans and the awarding of the gold medal (1830).
In 1832, he returned to Milan and devoted himself to painting urban vedute characterized by an interest in the chronicle of contemporary life and an atmospheric rendering.
From 1835, he focused on landscape painting with subjects inspired by the Lombard countryside and the lake environment.
The journey between Rome and Naples (1838-1839) is of fundamental importance in his artistic orientation.
His son, who bears the same first name Giuseppe (1837-1913), is also a painter of vedute, quadratura and urban landscapes.to

Bullfighting Scene oil on board painting
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Bullfighting Scene
Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez (1919-1986)

Dimensions: 25.6 x 21.3 in (65 x 54 cm) Frameless
Period: Second half of the 20th century

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
This painting captures a crucial moment in a bullfight, where the matador, dressed in a dazzling traje de luces (suit of lights), elegantly holds the red cape (muleta) while facing a wounded bull. The scene conveys tension and drama through energetic and loose brushwork, with strong contrasts of light and color that enhance its expressiveness.
The abstract background, built with gestural brushstrokes in warm, earthy tones, reinforces the dynamism and immediacy of the moment. The thick texture of the paint and the vibrant colors in the matador's attire and cape are characteristic of Figurative Expressionism, giving the work a strong emotional impact.
Tuser masterfully captures the essence of movement and the intensity of the bullfight through a painterly approach reminiscent of Impressionism, but with a greater emphasis on gesture and expressive color, making his work stand out for its raw energy and dramatic depth.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
José María Tuser Vázquez (Barcelona, 1919 - 1986) was a Spanish painter specialized in bullfighting themes, gaining recognition in the 20th-century art scene for his expressive depictions of the corrida (bullfight). He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona, where he developed a strong mastery of color and composition.
From 1947 onwards, his work focused almost entirely on bullfighting, creating posters, illustrations, and paintings that capture the emotion and spectacle of the arena. He was a frequent collaborator with El Ruedo magazine, where his illustrations and covers solidified his reputation. Additionally, in the 1940s, he designed series of postcards featuring traditional Spanish costumes for the Artigas Publishing House.
His work has been auctioned in several art houses and is highly valued among collectors of bullfighting paintings. His influence and legacy in tauromaquia (bullfighting art...
