About the Item

Peasant. Oil on canvas. VELA ZANETTI, José. 1972. Signed and dated (bottom right). José Vela Zanetti (Milagros, Burgos, 1913–Burgos, 1999) was a painter best known for his murals. He began his training in León, where he moved with his family and held his first exhibition in 1931. Supported by his father, he traveled to Madrid for a few months to see exhibitions and visit the Prado Museum. Shortly afterward, he received a scholarship to visit Italy, awarded by the Provincial Council of León. As a result of the Spanish Civil War, he moved to the Dominican Republic, where he remained until 1960. In Santo Domingo, along with other exiled artists, he founded the National School of Fine Arts. During this period, he held exhibitions and projects in Mexico, Colombia, Puerto Rico, and the United States. Throughout his life, he received important public commissions, such as the mural inaugurated in 1953 at the UN headquarters, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, considered his most important work. Also notable are his historic murals for the Provincial Council of Burgos and the frescoes of the former Ercilia Theater in Barahona, Dominican Republic. He was a member of the San Fernando Academy and awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the University of Burgos. In 2001, the Cultural Center of the City of Madrid held a retrospective exhibition on Vela Zanetti's work, entitled "Anthological," the most important to date. A commemorative exhibition for the tenth anniversary of his death was recently held at the Ángeles Penche gallery in Madrid. His works are held in the collections of the Caja Rural de Burgos and the Vela Zanetti Foundation in León, as well as murals in various cities in Spain, Santo Domingo, the United States, Colombia, and Switzerland. In 2013, the Fórum Evolución in Burgos held an important exhibition dedicated to Vela Zanetti's work, commemorating the centenary of his birth. · Size: 83x5x99 cms. int 65x81 cms
