Joan Escoda Coromina - Post-Impressionist Landscape

This vibrant post-impressionist oil painting is part of a series painted by the artist in 1992-1993, titled 'CAPEAS'. 'Capea' is a Spanish term meaning a bullfight with young bulls, of which we can see flashes of movement in the foreground of the painting - uniquely to the other pieces in the series in which the figure holds a red cloth, this bullfighter holds a blue cloth, in a brilliant contrast with the earthy, Mediterranean tones of the piece.

Joan Escoda Coromina was a Spanish postwar and contemporary artist born in 1921, known for his post-impressionist style landscapes and seascapes depicting his native surroundings.
