About the Item

JUST ARRIVED DECEMBER 2025 The Streets of Barcelona #12 Impressionism Cuban Artist Oil on Canvas Spain 25X17 GALLERY WRAPPED After 12/23 will ship after 12/30 Barcelona is first and foremost the capital of Catalonia, a proudly autonomous region that periodically attempts to break up with Spain. You’ll hear Catalan in the streets, and find the work of hometown icons like Miró and Gaudí in museums and along the Passeig de Gràcia. It can be a late-night party town, but Barcelona still nails a tranquil sort of time travel, as you walk the lanes of its Gothic quarter or sip a cava with a saucer of anchovies in an old-school pintxos bar. This is Streets of Barcelona #12 series that Cristian Mesa Velasquez finished in DECEMBER 2025. It is gallery wrapped so there is no need for a frame. Take time and notice the details in the painting. The splattering of the rain, the rain on the coat and the light and shadow on the legs. The inspiration for this painting comes from sketching scenes of Barcelona in the rain. Also show are other paintings in this series of Barcelona paintings. Cristian Mesa Velazquez is known for his figurative and portrait paintings done in the realist style. Cristian studied in several of the best art schools in Cuba and now lives in Barcelona, Spain. Cristian Mesa has won several art prices from several countries around the world including Luxemburg, Spain and Cuba. Born in Cuba, Mesa proposes an art that is reminiscent of the great masters of drawing, due to the cleanliness of his line that combines with highly contrasting tones. Also shown are new paintings from his Streets of Barcelona and Valencia series". On February 18th 2013, the set of five buildings that make up the National School of Arts (ENA) and the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA) was declared National Monument. The architects Ricardo Porro, Roberto Gottardi and Vittorio Garatti received in Italy the Vittorio de Sica Architecture Award 2012, in recognition of this majestic work. According to UNESCO, this compound is listed as one of the most important Cuban architectural structures and disseminated internationally. It is considered as a unique and representative monument of an unprecedented historical moment. It fulfills a social and practical function, and also has a high cultural and ideological value, being one of the most outstanding examples of the Modernist Movement in Cuba. The National School of Art arises from the need to create a system for arts education in Cuba and achieve its expansion throughout the country. Treasuring our cultural traditions, and conceived as a multidisciplinary center, it gathered the best examples of art in all its manifestations to create the first faculty. For the first time in history, an art school received students from all social classes and regions, making it majority´s right. The selection is based only on the ability and talent of the candidates, which are subject, prior to admission, to very rigorous and grueling tests. In the first academic courses, students had to overcome two levels of education (elementary and middle), but in 1976 it was created the ISA for university education of their students. Expansion of education at the National School of Arts The National School of Arts began teaching four specialties: ballet, music, drama and visual arts. Later modern and folk dance (1965), Circus (1977) and musical spectacle (1993) were added. Today it has become the main source of professionals and artists in the country, and has been branched to fulfill the educational needs in 47 subsidiaries in all provinces (24 elementary and 23 middle level), Vocational schools of art and Professional schools of art. The high demand prevailing in these centers has ensured that the artistic and educational work in every school meets professional excellence, and become ambassadors of development achieved by art education in Cuba. The National School of Arts is a paradigm of Cuban culture. This demonstrates the prestige and respect achieved by our country is that area within and outside our borders, reflected in our artists, which are recognized throughout the world.

Las Ramblas Barcelona Flower Market Street Scene Painting Urban Impressionist

Las Ramblas Barcelona Flower Market Street Scene Painting Urban Impressionist

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Scenes of Las Ramblas in Barcelona remain among the most recognizable urban subjects in European painting and are highly sought after by collectors and interior designers worldwide. Artist Jordi Junyent Title Rambla de las Flores, Barcelona Date 1988 Medium Oil on canvas Dimensions 50 × 61 cm 19.7 × 24 in Signature Signed “Junyent” lower left and dated 1988. Frame Unframed Condition Very good condition. Canvas firm and well stretched. Stable paint layer with bright colors. No visible restorations. Atmospheric urban painting depicting Las Ramblas flower market in Barcelona, one of the most recognizable and vibrant locations in the city. The composition captures the scene after rainfall, with reflective pavement, flower stalls and strolling figures creating depth and movement. The wet street surface reflects light and silhouettes, enhancing the lively Mediterranean atmosphere. Executed with a confident and expressive brushstroke, the artist uses a palette dominated by cool greys, greens and blues contrasted with vivid reds from the flower displays. The simplified figures and loose handling of paint emphasize the mood of the place rather than strict detail, a characteristic approach of post-impressionist urban painting. Scenes of Barcelona’s Las Ramblas are particularly sought after in the international decorative art market due to their strong visual identity and association with one of Europe’s most iconic boulevards. An attractive and highly decorative cityscape, ideal for collectors of European urban painting or for interior design settings seeking a vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere. Jordi Junyent was a Spanish painter active in the late twentieth century whose work focused primarily on urban scenes and Mediterranean city views. His paintings often depict recognizable locations such as the streets of Barcelona, rendered with a loose brushstroke and an emphasis on atmosphere, light and color. Working within a post-impressionist tradition, Junyent developed compositions that balance figurative clarity with painterly spontaneity, making his works appealing within the European decorative art market.

The composition combines architectural structure, pedestrian movement and luminous tonal harmony typical of late 20th century Catalan urban landscape painting. Barcelona city views remain especially attractive to collectors seeking recognizable European locations with strong decorative presence and historical atmosphere. The original frame enhances presentation and allows immediate wall display. This painting follows the Catalan urban landscape tradition developed by artists working in Barcelona throughout the 20th century, where city squares and pedestrian scenes became central pictorial subjects. Its atmospheric handling of architecture and figures connects with the Mediterranean urban vision explored by Ramon Casas and later Barcelona figurative landscape painters active in the postwar period. Pascual Fresquet is a Spanish painter known for Mediterranean landscapes and urban scenes inspired by Barcelona and the Catalan environment. His work reflects the continuation of the regional impressionist landscape tradition during the second half of the 20th century. barcelona street scene painting spanish cityscape painting mediterranean urban painting barcelona wall art european street scene painting spanish impressionist painting...
