About the Item

Title: Rincón de Horta (Corner of Horta) Artist: Antoni Llobet Aracil (Barcelona, 1910 – 1983) Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 46 × 55 cm (18.1 × 21.7 in) Support: Canvas on stretcher Signature: Signed “A. Llobet” in the lower right corner Inscription on reverse: “Rincón de Horta” Estimated period: 1950s–1960s Condition: Good Provenance: Private collection DESCRIPTION The painting depicts a scene of vernacular architecture in Barcelona’s Horta neighborhood, at a time when it still preserved its rural and peaceful character. A dirt path opens between lush vegetation and the façades of traditional houses, wrapped in bougainvillea, ivy, and leafy trees. Light enters from the left, illuminating the walls with warm brushstrokes that contrast with the greens and violets defining the foliage. The atmosphere is serene, almost nostalgic, captured with a loose and impasto technique, especially visible in the sky and vegetation. The composition showcases the painter’s ability to harmonize architecture and nature, conveying the tranquility of a nearly hidden corner. The vibrant brushwork and mastery of color evoke a distinctly Mediterranean sensibility, heir to post-impressionism and the legacy of Joaquim Mir. ABOUT THE ARTIST: ANTONI LLOBET ARACIL Antoni Llobet Aracil was a Catalan painter born in Barcelona in 1910 (according to some sources, 1919) and died in 1983. He trained at the Escola Superior de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi and was a pupil of masters such as José Mongrell and Joaquim Mir. In 1931, he received a scholarship to continue his studies in Rome. His career included exhibitions in Paris, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, and Mallorca, as well as his native city. He led an itinerant life that enriched his pictorial vision and allowed him to develop a plastic language characterized by free use of color, energetic brushwork, and a poetic view of the landscape. In his works, Llobet blended the impressionist tradition with a Mediterranean sense of light. He alternated natural landscapes, seascapes, rural streets, and urban corners with a rich palette and atmospheric sensitivity. He worked as a drawing and painting teacher and exhibited in prominent venues such as Grifé & Escoda in Barcelona, as well as in Palma and Inca, Mallorca. ARTISTS WITH SIMILAR STYLE The work of Antoni Llobet Aracil can be linked to that of several Catalan and Mediterranean artists through his loose technique, treatment of the landscape, and warm palette: Joaquim Mir i Trinxet – for his impasto brushwork and vibrant luminosity. Rafael Durancamps – for the intimacy and warmth of his urban and rural landscapes. Josep Mompou – for chromatic harmony and evocative simplicity. Isidre Nonell (in some late landscapes) – for dense pictorial matter and atmospheric color. Ramón Vilanova – in works reflecting gardens and floral corners with expressive strokes.

Mid Century Mediterranean Landscape with Stream and Farmhouse Spanish oil 1950s

Mid Century Mediterranean Landscape with Stream and Farmhouse Spanish oil 1950s

By Gabriel Amat Pages

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Mid Century Mediterranean Landscape with Stream and Farmhouse, Spanish Impressionist Oil on Canvas, c.1950 Artist: Gabriel Amat Pagès (Barcelona, 1899 – 1984) Title: Landscape with Stream Medium: Oil on canvas Period: c.1950 Style: Impressionist Dimensions: 61 x 50 cm (24.02 x 19.69 in) Condition: Good condition Signature: Signed lower left Unframed A luminous mid-century Mediterranean landscape capturing the quiet poetry of rural Spain. The composition unfolds naturally: a gentle stream in the foreground, lush vegetation rendered with confident, vibrant brushstrokes, and a secluded farmhouse partially hidden among trees. The artist achieves a delicate balance between structure and spontaneity, allowing light and color to carry the scene. The palette—greens, ochres, and soft blues—evokes the warmth and serenity of the Mediterranean countryside, while the fluid brushwork reflects a clear impressionist influence rooted in the Spanish postwar tradition. This is the kind of painting that works effortlessly in a refined interior: calming, elegant, and authentic without trying too hard. From a market perspective, Mediterranean landscapes with water, architecture, and strong painterly quality consistently perform well among collectors on 1stDibs, particularly in the US market. It is not just decorative—it is highly livable art. Gabriel Amat Pagès (Barcelona, 1899–1984) was a Spanish painter, draftsman, and architect, widely recognized for his work as a watercolorist. Trained in Barcelona within a cultural environment influenced by Catalan modernism, he developed a refined sensitivity to landscape, light, and natural environments. His work reflects a strong connection to Mediterranean painting traditions of the mid-20th century. Mediterranean landscape painting Spanish impressionist painting...

Mid-Century Catalan Farmhouse Oil Painting Mediterranean Rustic Landscape

By Joan Asensio Marine

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Artist: Joaquín Asensio Mariné (Barcelona, 1890 – 1961) Title: Catalan Farmhouse with Garden and Bare Trees Medium: Oil on panel Dimensions (unframed): 38 × 46 cm (14.96 × 18.11 in) Dimensions (framed): 52 × 60 cm (20.47 × 23.62 in) Signature: Signed lower left Period: Mid-20th Century Condition: Very good condition. Stable pictorial layer with well-preserved original impasto and no visible losses. Frame condition: Period gilt wooden frame with minor wear consistent with age. Presented: Sold with its current frame. Original oil painting by Catalan artist Joaquín Asensio Mariné, depicting a traditional Catalan farmhouse surrounded by a vegetable garden and winter trees. The composition is built with energetic, textured brushwork and visible impasto, giving the surface strong material presence and movement. The artist employs a rich Mediterranean palette of ochres, greens and blue-grey tones, capturing the rustic architecture and intimate atmosphere of rural Catalonia. Asensio Mariné constructs the scene with expressive confidence, balancing structural solidity in the buildings with freer gestural treatment in the vegetation and sky. The thick paint application enhances the tactile quality of the work, making it visually dynamic and highly decorative. Mid-century Catalan rural landscapes remain particularly appreciated by collectors for their authenticity, regional character and timeless Mediterranean appeal. An attractive and characterful example of 20th-century Spanish landscape painting. Joaquín Asensio Mariné (Barcelona, 1890 – 1961) was a Catalan painter known for his Mediterranean landscapes, rural architecture and traditional countryside scenes. Active in Barcelona during the first half of the 20th century, he exhibited in galleries such as Sala Rovira and Galería Jaimes. His work sits between traditional realism and a restrained impressionist language, characterized by textured brushwork and a luminous Mediterranean palette. His rural compositions share affinities with the broader tradition of Spanish landscape painting associated with artists such as Joaquín Sorolla, Eliseu Meifrèn and the Catalan post-impressionist school, while maintaining a distinctly regional character. Today his works are appreciated by collectors of mid-century Spanish and Mediterranean painting for their authenticity, decorative strength and connection to Catalan artistic heritage.
