Winter Landscape by Aureliano de Beruete, 1911. Recorded on December 18, 2024
Trees acquired particular importance in Beruete’s late works. In this canvas the poplars are outlined against the sky and the background wood. The short, heavily charged brushstrokes of ochre and yellow tones contrast with the green ones in the foreground, their length emphasizing the line of the river.
Aureliano de Beruete (Madrid, 1845-1912) was a Spanish painter, historian, politician and art critic.
