Andalusian School (1950s) - Two Women Of Granada

- Oil on canvas - This painting, measuring 113 x 80 cm, is an oil on canvas that captures the soul and beauty of the countryside of Granada, Spain, in the distinctive style of the great masters of artistic Regionalism of the 1920s and 1930s. The work is distinguished by its meticulous treatment of details and its faithful representation of rural life, faithful to traditional aesthetics while adding a modern touch. The two women appear as central protagonists in this bucolic scene, embodying the daily life and culture of the Andalusian countryside. They are depicted in traditional clothing of the region, with loose dresses and dark or colorful shawls, often characteristic of popular fashion at the time. Their posture and expressions convey both a quiet strength and an intimacy marked by the simplicity of their rural environment. The background of the painting is a typical rural landscape of the Granada region, with rolling hills, cultivated fields, olive trees and whitewashed houses, anchored in the Andalusian earth. The Sierra Nevada mountains, often bathed in golden light, bring a sense of depth and grandeur to the whole. The use of light and shadow is characteristic of regionalist art, creating visual effects that add richness to the atmosphere of the scene. The style of the painting is marked by a strong influence of Realism, with attention to detail in the texture of the fabrics, the skin of the women and the surrounding landscape. The artist highlights the subtle contrasts between light and shadow, with touches of bright and warm colors that recall the Mediterranean palette. The scene exudes harmony, but also the harshness of rural life, capturing the spirit of Spanish regionalism of the time, which sought to value local traditions and elevate them to the status of noble art. - Dimensions of the unframed image: 113 x 80 cm / 135 x 102 cm with frame
