Ramiro Latorre Y Viedma (1872–1960) - The Forest Of The Alhambra: Moonlight Effect

- Oil on panel. Hand-signed.

- The eminent artist from Granada, Rafael Latorre Viedma—a leading figure in the Andalusian painting tradition, renowned for his versatility as a painter, restorer, and antique dealer—is distinguished by a body of work imbued with a melancholic devotion to the landscapes and intimate atmosphere of his native land. Trained in the tradition of “costumbrista” regionalism (genre painting) and enriched by his stays in Europe—particularly in Paris and Italy—he cultivated with exceptional finesse portraiture, still life, and, most notably, urban views as well as the light-drenched nooks and crannies of Granada and the Alhambra. His painting is characterized by a vibrant palette, a delicate sensitivity to capturing the nuances of southern light, and an agile technique combining precision of line with a textural, rich brushwork. His legacy thus stands as an undeniable poetic testament to “costumbrismo” and Andalusian landscape painting of the first half of the 20th century.
