"Youths Bathing in the Bay of Algiers, " Monumental Painting by Ortega, 1934
About the Item
Brilliantly painted in tones of turquoise, Mediterranean blue, aqua, sky blue and a range of rich browns, tans and grays, this view of three young men bathing in the bay of Algiers is highly evocative of a time when men swam and bathed together in public without a sense of conspicuousness. The three youth are readying to jump into the cool blue water, which is shimmering in endless lines of broken color. In the distance, the tan and off-white buildings of the port can be seen, surmounted by the dome of a mosque. The entire scene is highly atmospheric and magical, and was exhibited in Paris in 1934, when the artist, José Ortega, was 57 years old. Ortega was born in Spain, but painted for much of his life in Paris and in North Africa. Like many of his contemporaries, he returned again and again to El Kantara and other parts of Algeria, but this is clearly his largest and finest work. The painting is oil on canvas. (Dimensions include the frame; the visible painting itself is 75.75 inches high by 50.5 inches wide.)
