Beautiful original oil on canvas painting in naturalist realism style painted by Spanish artist, Jose Barbera (1945-2005). The painting depicts a Spanish pueblo village on a bright day with flora to the foreground and a background skyscape with distant mountains. The piece is hand signed by the artist in the lower right corner. Mounted in a highly decorative and substantial wooden frame the painting makes quite a visual statement. A brass metal plaque inscribed BARBERA is affixed in the center bottom portion of the frame, Jose Barbera was born, studied, and trained in Valencia, Spain. He is renowned for his evocative depictions of traditional Spanish villages, often referred to as “Pueblo‘s”. His work is characterized by a distinctive style that captures the light and atmosphere of these historic settings, with a focus on white washed buildings and rugged landscapes. Barbara‘s paintings are appreciated for their ability to convey a sense of place and timelessness, making them popular among collectors of Spanish art. The works of Jose Barbera are highly desired and are found in private collections worldwide. Excellent overall condition with slight wear to the frame, consistent with age and use. The piece measures 55” square, including the frame. The painting measures 42” x 42”, approximately.
