EMILI GIRALT GIRALT (Barcelona, 1857-1927). "Landscape with Ruins, 1891. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. The frame is missing. Size: 35 x 54 cm; 51 x 72 cm (frame). The painter offers us a wide panoramic view of a quiet rural landscape. An architectural structure, nowadays in ruins, rises imposingly next to a stream. On the right, the leaves of tall trees are blown by the wind. This work combines genre themes and a sense of landscape of great beauty and atmospheric sensitivity, worked with short, rapid brushstrokes that reflect the light and create dense shadows, shaded in a wide range of earthy and reddish tones.
