Joaquim Vayreda was born in Girona, Spain. His family was originally from Olot but had to move to Girona when their home was destroyed during the First Carlist War. A year after his birth, his parents returned to Olot and attempted to reestablish themselves. His father was fond of drawing and when he saw that his son had artistic talent, set him to work copying drawings. Vayreda’s first art lessons came when he was only nine, at the drawing school in Olot, operated by Narcís Pascual i Sala (1805–1869). In 1860, he went to Barcelona to study philosophy but spent his spare time learning to paint with Ramon Martí Alsina, who introduced him to landscape painting en plein air. Vayreda had his first showing in 1865. The following year, he started to exhibit regularly at the Sala Parés and began to attract customers from the bourgeoisie. He had to live in France briefly, following the Revolution of 1868. There, he became acquainted with the Barbizon school of landscape painting and met Josep Berga i Boix, who would later be his partner in several enterprises. Upon his return, he and his brother Marian would begin to establish what became known as the Olot school. In 1872, Vayreda was appointed Deputy-Mayor of Olot but resigned after only three months due to the outbreak of the Third Carlist War. He went into self-exile in France and remained there until 1877. Three years later, he joined with Josep Berga i Boix and others to create a special workshop for religious images called Els Sants d'Olot. Vayreda also regained his position with the city; serving from 1881–83. From 1891 until his death, he was a Provincial Deputy to the assembly in Manresa and participated in writing the Catalan Regional Constitution. He also contributed political opinion pieces to local periodicals. Vayreda died in Olot, aged 51.

Venetian Window Oil Painting, European Architectural Interior Scene, 1980s
By Josep Maria Vayreda Canadell
Located in Sitges, Barcelona
Medium: Oil on canvas Date: c.1985 Dimensions (canvas): 46 × 38 cm 18.11 × 14.96 inches Dimensions (framed): 69 × 61 cm 27.16 × 24.01 inches Signature: Signed lower right Frame: Included Condition: Very good condition. Stable canvas, no visible restorations. Atmospheric European architectural oil painting depicting a Venetian window with open green shutters, rendered in a refined realist style. The composition highlights aged brickwork, textured plaster and filtered Mediterranean light, creating a calm and contemplative presence. Rather than focusing on narrative, the work emphasizes tonal harmony, surface quality and architectural rhythm. Painted circa 1985, this piece belongs to the artist’s mature period, when Venetian and Mediterranean architectural subjects became recurring themes in his production. The controlled brushwork and balanced palette reflect a synthesis between academic European training and Mediterranean sensitivity. The work is documented and published in a monographic book dedicated to the artist’s production, reinforcing its authenticity and relevance within his body of work. Venetian subjects remain highly desirable among collectors and interior designers seeking elegant European character pieces with architectural depth and decorative strength. An excellent example of late 20th-century Spanish realism with strong decorative appeal. Josep Maria Vayreda C...

"Being There" Original Oil Painting by Robert White, Frameless Display
Located in Encino, CA
“Being There,” an original oil on canvas by Robert K. White, is a piece for the true collector. White’s careful attention to detail and vivid use of browns and reds project from the painting, immediately capturing the viewer's attention and highlighting the artist's keen ability to capture emotion and life - all in a brushstroke. White's talent for depicting light and shadow provides the foundation for him to deliver subjects and scenes to the viewer's eye. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for cityscapes, theater, and architecture. In the artist’s own words, “I don’t paint what is inside of me; I paint what I see outside of me. I’m an observer. If I see something and I feel an affinity for it, something just clicks in my head. I’ll make the decision right then and there to paint that particular subject during that particular moment. It’s a perfect moment. Once something has caught my eye and I’ve heard the “perfect” click, it’s like a photograph has been taken in my mind’s eye. I only have a few days of clarity with that image. I have to start the painting quickly or else it will be gone and I will lose that image forever.” Artist: ROBERT KENNETH WHITE...
