Product description
Magnificent oil on canvas from the mid-20th century, signed “Badosar” in the lower left corner, author of French origin. It depicts a lush field of poppies in three horizontal planes. The first and closest corresponds to a dirt road, which soon opens to the second plane, the poppy field. The beauty of poppy fields has always inspired artists. In the third plane a grove of trees is outlined against the sky. Original frame from the time.
As is typical of Impressionism, light and color stand out. The use of white, distributed throughout the landscape (and used in the canvas primer), contributes to the creation of a luminous atmosphere. Impressionism, born in France in the last third of the 19th century, was an artistic movement defined essentially through painting. It was mainly characterized because its maximum aspiration was to capture the light of a specific moment in the works, for which it used a disintegrated, material and very fast brushstroke.
Thanks to technical and scientific advances, which allowed the creation of new pigments, the use of pure colors also expanded. With them, a purity and saturation of colors that was unthinkable until now was achieved. Complementary colors also became fundamental (in this case, the green of the vegetation and the red of the poppies), along with the type of brushstroke and the total absence of drawing. For this same reason, shadows went from including black in their composition to being called “colored shadows”, mixing complementary colors to darken them without the need for black. This also helped create a greater sense of depth. This work exemplifies many of the characteristics of the style.

The frame that protects the work is offered as a gift, but has value in itself.

Any damage to the frame itself, which does not affect the integrity of the artwork, cannot be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.
