"A Quiet Evening" oil painting by Jose Royo

About the Item

Oil on canvas, signed and dated in the lower right corner. Presented in a carved frame measuring 38.5" x 33.75" overall. The work features a woman reading by lamp light in a very tranquil setting. Royo is a prominent Spanish painter born in 1945. Beginning in 1980's and continuing until today we see the development of Royo’s “matured” style. His dramatic use of color and “texturing” capture his subject matter with unique flair. Parallels can be drawn to the work of the European masters; for example, with Royo’s “homage to the female form,” we see the distinct influence of Renoir. It is the similar, almost portrait-like treatment of the female model, caught in a serene, contemplative moment, with the surrounding “bursts” of color from the floral landscapes where we see the “Renoir” in Royo’s work. In fact, critics have concluded, “If the artwork of Renoir were blended with that of the ‘Valencian painters’ you would arrive at the canvasses approaching the uniqueness of the impressive work of Royo.”
