Description:
- Oil on panel from Segovia Cathedral.
- It is signed, and its manufacture is very good.
- The author, Antonio María Almazán (1932-2020), studied arts and crafts in Zaragoza, a versatile artist who mastered the techniques of oil painting, drawing and watercolour. She used materials as diverse as graphite, pastel pencil, nib and charcoal for her drawings.
- Always within the figurative impressionist canons and with the aesthetic influence of the Aragonese masters, he developed a personal style, fleeing from fashions and pressures of the market or art critics.
- The artistic quality and execution is very good. With a medium brushstroke, the brushstrokes are very loose, which gives the oil painting a great liveliness.
- The painting is executed in a variety of ochre and earth colours.
- The details of the oil and the handling of the colours are really magnificent.
- We think that the frame is his original one, from the period. On the back it says: Segovia, A. Almazán.
