Antonio Prast Y Rodríguez Del Llano (1880-1939) - Mountain Lake

THIS SEPTEMBER, ENJOY FREE DELIVERY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION* AT MONTBARON GALLERY - Oil on canvas. - This painting, which was part of a set of thirty works commissioned to illustrate a volume on the Sierra de Gredos, an Alpine mountain range that serves as a border between the two Castilians, is the work of Antonio Prast, one of the pioneers of photography in Spain. In this work, the artist uses the possibilities of sanguine monochrome, exploited since the Renaissance by famous artists, to compose a high mountain scene with a small glacial lagoon above which a flock of lambs can be seen. The level of detail with which the rugged orography of the contours of the Laguna Grande de Gredos, located at almost 2,000 m above sea level, is described is surprising. - Dimensions of the unframed image: 100 x 175 cm - It comes from a private collection of paintings in Madrid. - Good general condition. Minimal defects. - Galerie Montbaron encloses a technical sheet established by a qualified art historian with all its lots.
