Roberto Gherardi Figurative Paintings

Italian, Swiss, b. 1933
Roberto Gherardi is an Italian-Geneva painter born in 1933 in Ascensione in northern Italy, near Bergamo. The post-war period being harsh, poverty strikes his family and forces him to immigrate to Switzerland in Geneva where he will work as a mason. He will meet his wife there and start a family. In his life of hard work he finds a loophole in painting. He painted Geneva, Italian and other landscapes as well as characters with cold features that he would produce throughout his life. His style is rather realistic with games of misshapen proportions. He left a collection of 400 works, sold a few but never had the time or the means to devote himself fully to his passion because he had duties towards his family. Here are the pieces from his collection, released after a 20-year hibernation in a private cellar. We are happy to be able to offer them a second life thanks to you.

Cadaques Harbor Church Catalonia Mediterranean Fishing Boat Oil Painting Spanish

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Cadaques Harbor Church Catalonia Mediterranean Fishing Boat Oil Painting Spanish Coastal Scene Artist: Juan Pardo Forteza Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 33 × 41 cm (13 × 16.1 in) Signature: Signed lower right Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good condition. Stable paint surface with visible original brushwork Origin: Spain Period: Mid-20th century Atmospheric Mediterranean harbor scene depicting the coastal village of Cadaqués with the Church of Santa Maria rising above the historic waterfront. A traditional Catalan fishing boat placed in the foreground structures the composition and anchors the viewer within the shoreline space, while the stepped white architecture of the old town creates one of the most recognizable silhouettes of the Costa Brava. Executed with loose impressionist brushwork and a restrained palette of greys, warm ochres and soft pink tonal transitions, the painting captures the distinctive northern Mediterranean light associated with Catalan coastal painting of the twentieth century. Views of Cadaqués remain among the most desirable subjects within Spanish coastal landscape painting due to their strong connection with the artistic history of the region and their immediate architectural identity. Particularly suitable for collectors of Mediterranean harbor painting and Spanish modern decorative landscapes. The painting belongs to the Catalan coastal landscape tradition associated with artists such as Joaquim Mir and Eliseu Meifrèn. Its subject matter also connects directly with the artistic environment of Salvador Dalí, whose long association with Cadaqués helped establish the village as one of the most iconic painterly locations of the Mediterranean. Juan Pardo Forteza was a Spanish painter active during the second half of the twentieth century, known for Mediterranean coastal landscapes and harbor scenes of Catalonia and the Balearic environment. His work focuses primarily on traditional fishing boats, historic waterfront architecture and luminous shoreline compositions executed with impressionist brushwork and strong atmospheric sensitivity. Paintings depicting recognizable Mediterranean villages such as Cadaqués represent one of the most characteristic themes of his production and remain especially appreciated in decorative and collector-oriented markets.
