Description
JOSÉ BENLLIURE GIL (Valencia, 1855 - 1937).
"Moroccan market".
Oil on panel.
Signed in the lower left corner.
Size: 9 x 14 cm; 30 x 35 cm (frame).
During the 19th and 20th centuries, the relations between Spain and Morocco were tumultuous and tense, which originated a certain proximity and knowledge about both cultures. This rapprochement led to a pictorial study within the Spanish panorama, integrating Orientalism as a subject of research in the studios and workshops of several artists. José Benlliure was attracted by the atmosphere in which the daily life of Moroccan citizens was enveloped, capturing oriental visions as in this souk. The composition has been resolved by means of a realistic and luminous technique, based on loose brushstrokes, revealing a real and reliable scene, far removed from literaturism.
The brother of the painter Juan Antonio and the sculptor Mariano, José Benlliure cultivated genre and portrait painting. He began his artistic studies with Francisco Domingo in Valencia and later continued his training in Madrid, where he settled in 1869. In 1879 he moved to Rome, where he was director of the Spanish Academy of Fine Arts from 1903 to 1913. In 1897 he travelled to Tangiers, Algeria and Morocco, where he produced more luminous and free works with an Impressionist influence. From 1900 onwards his work depicts popular themes. He was an honest and sensitive painter, and his works on popular themes, such as the one we present here, are particularly noteworthy, with scenes treated in a direct and spontaneous manner. He took part in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, winning third medals in 1876 and 1878 and first in 1887. He belonged to the Academies of San Fernando (Madrid), San Lucas (Rome), San Carlos (Valencia), Brera (Milan) and Munich. The most important part of his production is kept in Valencia, in his Casa Museo and in the San Pío V Fine Arts Museum. He is also represented in the Prado Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Palace of Charles V in Granada, among others.
