GRAND SPRING AUCTION OF PRIVATE COLLECTIONS, LATIN AMERICAN ART AND FINE WATCHES
Lote 466:
Oil on canvas. Unframed measurements: 111 x 73. Framed measurements: 124 x 88. Views of the town with farmers picking fruit in the foreground. Attributed to Pedro de Orrente (1580 – 1645), Spanish Baroque painter known as the Spanish Bassano. His style is characterized by his twilight lighting in the landscapes, of Bassanesque inspiration, but with a clear predisposition towards tenebrist naturalism. Likewise, in his paintings we find a colorism based on ocher and earthy tones among which he makes bright red, green or white strokes stand out with great skill.
