Mid Century Barcelona Harbor Sailboats Mediterranean Impressionist Oil Painting Artist: Rafael Durán Benet Medium: Oil on canvas laid on board Dimensions: 50 × 61 cm (19.7 × 24 in) Signature: Signed lower right Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good condition. Stable paint surface with visible original brushwork Origin: Spain Period: Mid-20th century Expressive Mediterranean harbor scene depicting sailboats moored in the port of Barcelona by Spanish painter Rafael Durán Benet. The composition captures the luminous waterfront architecture reflected across calm harbor waters, structured by vertical masts and rhythmic dock lines that organize the pictorial space with clarity and balance. Loose impressionist brushwork and a refined palette of blues, violets and warm reflected tones create a vibrant atmospheric surface characteristic of mid-century Mediterranean coastal painting. Particularly notable is the treatment of reflections, executed through layered strokes that enhance depth and movement while reinforcing the decorative strength of the composition. Barcelona harbor scenes remain among the most desirable subjects within Spanish Mediterranean painting due to their architectural identity and strong interior presence. This work belongs to the Catalan Mediterranean luminist tradition associated with Joaquim Mir and Eliseu Meifrèn. Its reflective harbor treatment also connects with the broader European marine painting lineage of Paul Signac and Henri Le Sidaner. Rafael Durán Benet (Barcelona, 1931–2015) was a Spanish painter recognized for Mediterranean harbor scenes, coastal landscapes and urban views of Barcelona. Working within the Catalan postwar impressionist tradition, he developed a luminous pictorial language centered on reflections, atmosphere and architectural shoreline compositions. His paintings of the Barcelona waterfront remain among the most characteristic subjects of his production and are held today in private collections across Spain and Europe.

Impressionist Mediterranean Harbor Painting Port de la Selva Costa Brava Fishing Boats Oil Canvas Artist: Lazarotti Title: Port de la Selva Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 60 × 73 cm (23.6 × 28.7 in) Signature: Signed lower right Inscription: Titled on reverse Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good condition. Stable paint surface with original impasto visible Origin: Spain Atmospheric Mediterranean harbor scene depicting Port de la Selva on the Costa Brava, one of the most picturesque fishing villages in northeastern Spain near Cap de Creus. The composition presents a lively shoreline animated by traditional fishing boats resting along the beach and floating gently across reflective harbor waters. Whitewashed architecture rises against the mountainous backdrop, creating a luminous contrast with the turquoise sea and expansive sky. Executed with confident impressionist brushwork, the painting captures shifting reflections and coastal light through layered strokes of blue, rose, ochre and soft green tonal transitions. The surface retains visible impasto that enhances depth and movement across the water. Mediterranean harbor paintings of this type are especially sought after for their decorative clarity, collector accessibility and strong interior presence, particularly within coastal and modern European painting collections. The inscription “Port de la Selva” on the reverse confirms the exact Catalan location represented. This work belongs to the Mediterranean impressionist...
