Impressionist Lakeside Landscape with Figures, Catalan School Oil Painting, Serene Park Scene with Reflections, Mid-Century European Art Artist: Antoni Maria Sadurní Albana (Vic, 1927 – 2014) Title: Lakeside Landscape with Figures Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 50 x 61 cm (19.7 x 24 in) Signature: Signed “Sadurní” lower right Framing: Unframed Condition: Very good condition. Stable paint layer, fresh colors, no visible restorations. Solid stretcher. Charming mid-century European landscape painting depicting a tranquil lakeside park scene by Catalan painter Antoni Maria Sadurní Albana. The composition captures a serene body of water framed by large trees in the foreground, creating a natural window that leads the viewer’s eye toward a luminous line of golden trees in the distance. The painting is animated by small figures strolling along the opposite shore, including a striking red-clad figure that introduces a vibrant focal point within the calm natural setting. This subtle human presence adds scale and narrative while preserving the peaceful atmosphere of the landscape. Sadurní employs a lively, confident brushstroke reminiscent of late impressionist landscape traditions. The water surface is treated with delicate vertical reflections and soft tonal variations, while the foliage is rendered with energetic touches of green, ochre and warm golden hues that evoke autumn light. The composition unfolds in three distinct visual planes: the textured foreground shoreline, the reflective lake at the center, and the luminous tree line in the background. This classical landscape structure enhances depth and creates a harmonious balance between light, color and atmosphere. Paintings of this type are highly appreciated for their decorative appeal and their ability to introduce a sense of calm natural beauty into interior spaces. The balanced palette, atmospheric light and timeless landscape motif make this piece particularly suitable for both classic and contemporary interiors. A refined example of Catalan mid-century landscape painting combining impressionistic brushwork, naturalistic color harmony and a peaceful lakeside subject. Antoni Maria Sadurní Albana (Vic, 1927 – 2014) was a Catalan painter associated with the figurative landscape tradition of the second half of the 20th century. He studied at the Municipal School of Drawing in Vic and was connected to the artistic environment of the Olot School, well known for its landscape painting heritage. His work focuses primarily on Catalan landscapes, including rural scenes, wooded areas and lakeside views. Sadurní developed a distinctive style characterized by loose brushwork, atmospheric light effects and a harmonious palette inspired by the natural landscapes of Catalonia. He was also a member of the cultural group “Els 8 de Vic” and remained active in the artistic life of his region throughout his career.
