Las Ramblas Barcelona Flower Market Street Scene Painting Urban Impressionist

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Scenes of Las Ramblas in Barcelona remain among the most recognizable urban subjects in European painting and are highly sought after by collectors and interior designers worldwide. Artist Jordi Junyent Title Rambla de las Flores, Barcelona Date 1988 Medium Oil on canvas Dimensions 50 × 61 cm 19.7 × 24 in Signature Signed “Junyent” lower left and dated 1988. Frame Unframed Condition Very good condition. Canvas firm and well stretched. Stable paint layer with bright colors. No visible restorations. Atmospheric urban painting depicting Las Ramblas flower market in Barcelona, one of the most recognizable and vibrant locations in the city. The composition captures the scene after rainfall, with reflective pavement, flower stalls and strolling figures creating depth and movement. The wet street surface reflects light and silhouettes, enhancing the lively Mediterranean atmosphere. Executed with a confident and expressive brushstroke, the artist uses a palette dominated by cool greys, greens and blues contrasted with vivid reds from the flower displays. The simplified figures and loose handling of paint emphasize the mood of the place rather than strict detail, a characteristic approach of post-impressionist urban painting. Scenes of Barcelona’s Las Ramblas are particularly sought after in the international decorative art market due to their strong visual identity and association with one of Europe’s most iconic boulevards. An attractive and highly decorative cityscape, ideal for collectors of European urban painting or for interior design settings seeking a vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere. Jordi Junyent was a Spanish painter active in the late twentieth century whose work focused primarily on urban scenes and Mediterranean city views. His paintings often depict recognizable locations such as the streets of Barcelona, rendered with a loose brushstroke and an emphasis on atmosphere, light and color. Working within a post-impressionist tradition, Junyent developed compositions that balance figurative clarity with painterly spontaneity, making his works appealing within the European decorative art market.

Seated Female Nude Oil Painting – Spanish Figurative Expressionist 20th Century

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Artist: Francisco Abad Doblas (Spain, b. 1933) Title: Seated Female Nude Date: 1975 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 65 × 81 cm (25.6 × 31.9 in) Signature: Signed upper right Framing: Unframed Condition: Very good. Firm canvas and stable paint layer with visible impasto. No apparent restorations. Period: 20th Century A striking seated female nude executed in oil on canvas by Spanish painter Francisco Abad Doblas. This powerful figurative composition presents a seated woman rendered with confident, textured brushwork and a vibrant chromatic palette. Flesh tones are constructed through layered strokes of pinks, ochres, greens and blues, creating both movement and depth. The cool-toned background enhances the warmth of the figure, reinforcing anatomical structure and spatial contrast. The painting reflects the Spanish post-impressionist figurative tradition of the mid-to-late 20th century, combining academic discipline with expressive painterly freedom. Particular attention is given to the modeling of the face and hands, demonstrating strong draftsmanship and studio practice. With its balanced 65 × 81 cm format and strong visual presence, the work functions as a statement piece within a refined contemporary interior or a collection focused on European figurative art. Francisco Abad Doblas (Spain, born 1933) is a Spanish figurative painter active during the second half of the 20th century. His work focuses on traditional genres such as landscape, still life and the human figure, developed through direct observation and a loose post-impressionist brushstroke. His paintings circulated through Spanish private galleries during the 1970s and 1980s and continue to appear in European secondary market sales, appreciated by collectors of academic and figurative Spanish art.

Jean Jansem (1920-2013) Masques et fanions, 1990 Huile sur toile Signée en haut à droite 46 x 33 cm Exposition: 1993, Carnavals, Galerie Matignon, Paris Bibliographie: - Jansem, Carnavals, 1988-1992, Flora Jansem, Paris, Editions Flora J.-Editions Enrico Navarra, décrit. p. 52, reproduit p. 53. - Cette oeuvre est enregistrée dans les archives de l’Association des Amis de Jean Jansem. Figurera dans le catalogue critique de l’oeuvre de Jean Jansem actuellement en préparation par l’association des amis de Jean Jansem JEAN JANSEM L’indigence d’après-guerre et la difficulté inhérente de trouver les matériaux adéquats et/ou habituels, telles les couleurs, très onéreuses alors, ont poussé les artistes figuratifs de l’après-guerre, en corrélation avec les préoccupations de l’époque, à redéfinir les paradigmes de la représentation. Il n’est plus question de chercher un sens mais bien pour les artistes d'étudier l’objet pour son intérêt formel, sa qualité intrinsèque. Le regard de l’artiste devient analytique et dépeint alors l’objet pour ce qu’il est et non plus pour son pouvoir évocateur ou symbolique. La nature morte n’est plus une invitation sensuelle à la ripaille, la pomme ou la pêche n’évoque aucune envie de croquer, la cruche aucune ivresse, la volaille...
