About the Item

A fascinating and rare historical genre painting, executed in oil on canvas and signed by the Spanish artist Luis Taberner y Montalvo. The composition depicts a dramatic 19th-century scene, evoking an assassination or a criminal act, rendered with meticulous attention to detail and an evocative atmosphere. Description The painting captures an intense moment in what appears to be a 19th-century urban or domestic crime scene. The figures are dressed in period costumes, and the composition suggests narrative tension, with elements that invite multiple interpretations, likely inspired by literary, historical, or social events of the time. The style reflects a Romantic or Realist approach, typical of Spanish academic painting of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with rich chiaroscuro, careful anatomical rendering, and expressive gestures. Artist Luis Taberer y Montalvo: Spanish painter known for his historical and genre scenes. His works are characterized by narrative depth and a finely honed academic technique. Dimensions Framed: 41 cm × 31 cm Canvas (visible area): 26 cm × 17 cm Condition The painting is in very good condition, preserving its original canvas and signature. Light age-related wear is present on the surface and frame, accentuating its authentic patina. Summary This unusual and captivating oil on canvas offers collectors of historical art, Spanish academic painting, or curiosities the opportunity to acquire a conversation piece combining fine art, mystery, and narrative intrigue.
