Agustín Redondela's continuous travels around the Spanish geography awoke in him a great interest for the landscape, which was the undisputed protagonist of his artistic production. Throughout his career his style evolved towards more synthetic compositional forms and a simplification in the use of colour, thus reducing the tonalities used. This work belongs to a period of transition of the artist, in which we can appreciate the landscape characteristics, as well as highlighting the beginning of a change from a chromatic range of ochre colours and warm tones of his first works to blues and violet tones with which he would end his career.
A painter who was mainly self-taught and considered one of the most original Spanish landscape painters of the 20th century, Agustín González Alonso trained with his father, the painter and set designer José González "Redondela". After the Civil War he attended classes at the Madrid School of Arts and Crafts with the landscape painter José Ordoñez, and in 1945 he sent a painting to the National Exhibition of Fine Arts for the first time, signed with the pseudonym Redondela. That same year he held his first personal exhibition at the Estilo gallery in Madrid. It was at this time that he came into contact with the Madrid School, and in 1947 he was selected to exhibit at the Salón de los Once de la Academia Breve e Crítica de Arte de Eugenio d'Ors. In the fifties Redondela won a grant from the Catherword Foundation in Philadelphia (1954), the National Painting Prize (1953) and the first medal at the National Exhibition (1957). Throughout his career he combined painting with stage design, working for plays by Jacinto Benavente, Joaquín Calvo Sotelo, Dodie Smith and Peter Ustinov, among others. He also did some work as an illustrator, including a luxurious edition of Cela's "Viaje a la Alcarria" in 1978. In 1996 the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando awarded him the José González de la Peña prize, and two years later the Centro Cultural de la Villa de Madrid dedicated an important anthological exhibition to him. He is currently represented in the Museum of Fine Arts in La Coruña, the Museum of Contemporary Spanish Landscape in Priego de Córdoba, the Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza, the museums of Buenos Aires, Caracas and Havana and the Oswaldo Guayasamín House-Museum in Quito, among other public and private collections.
