About the Item

An oil painting on platex by renowned artist Jaime Augusto Murteira (1864–1955), from Portugal, depicting a sunlit village street and a church tower in the distance. Executed in the early 20th century, this piece is a prime example of Portuguese Naturalism, blending technical mastery with poetic serenity. The composition unfolds under a luminous blue sky, with warm sunlight across textured facades and cobblestone pavements. Two figures, walking slowly with their backs to the viewer, bring subtle life to the scene. In the background, a church rises above the trees—its presence anchoring the town’s quiet soul. Murteira, a disciple of Frederico Aires and António Saúde, was a central figure in the Portuguese naturalist movement. His work is celebrated for its sensitive rendering of light, honest portrayal of everyday scenes, and painterly depth. This painting echoes the stylistic language of the Malhoa school, balancing realism with expressive brushwork. This artwork is part of a legacy preserved in institutions such as the José Malhoa Museum and represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a work by a sought-after name in early 20th-century Iberian painting.
