Portuguese Street Scene by Jaime Murteira, Oil on Platex

About the Item

An oil painting on platex by Jaime Augusto Murteira (1864–1955), depicting a sunlit village street with a church rising in the background and figures quietly passing by. Signed lower right and presented in an ornate, gilded frame with the artist’s nameplate, this work exemplifies the Naturalist style Murteira mastered. A student of Frederico Aires and António Saúde, Murteira became a major figure in the Portuguese Naturalist movement. His works—celebrated for their sincere depiction of everyday life—feature nuanced brushwork, natural light, and subtle character. This particular scene captures the stillness of provincial life, where human presence and architecture coexist in harmony. The use of warm tones, expressive textures, and dynamic composition invites the viewer to step into the street and imagine the slow rhythm of a summer afternoon in Portugal. Murteira’s works are held in notable collections, including the José Malhoa Museum, confirming his role as a pillar of early 20th-century Portuguese painting.
