About the Item

This Modernist Bucolic Oil Painting, created in 1946 by Portuguese artist Agostinho de Mello Júnior (signed Melo J), offers a captivating glimpse into rural community life. Painted in a figurative yet abstract style typical of Portuguese Modernism, the composition captures a gathering of villagers set against fields and distant hills, conveying intimacy. Executed in oil on canvas, this work is part of the artist’s early period and stands out for its dynamic composition, where traditional costumes and social interactions are portrayed with emotional depth. The piece is presented in a vintage carved and gilded wooden frame. Dimensions: Frame: 66 × 56 cm Canvas: 50 × 41 cm An opportunity to acquire a mid-20th-century Portuguese painting that blends folk narrative with modernist sensibility. Take into account that the colors on the items may vary depending on the type of lighting and the type of screen from which you see the images.
