About the Item
A painting by Georges Rouault. “Carlotta” is an oil on canvas portrait painting in a palette of blues, yellows, blacks, and pinks by expressionist artist Georges Rouault. The artwork is signed in its lower right, "Rouault." Framed dimensions are 25 3/8 x 21 7/8 x 3 in.
Expressionist painter Georges Rouault, who was greatly influenced (but not formally trained) by German Expressionists, is known for his thick black brushstrokes that outline each works subject. Having apprenticed as a glass painter in his teenage years, Rouault’s works greatly resemble post-impressionist decorative glasswork. This can be seen in the thoughtful simplicity of his compositions and the contrasting weight of strong, thick blacks against bright pops of color. Enrolling at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1891, Rouault studied under Symbolist Gustave Moreau. Later associating himself with the Fauvist movement, Henry Matisse, Andre Derain, and Rouault collaborated to create the Salon d’Automne, a progressive show of works previously rejected by the conservative Paris Salon. He used his rough, emotive style to reflect motifs surrounding contemporary life, morality, and religion.

Georges Rouault
Executed in 1937, Carlotta belongs to a group of portraits of members of society. Unlike Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec, who portrayed these individuals with pathos, Rouault’s approach was unapologetic and raw. In the present work several layers of pigment can be discerned; the build-up of translucent and opaque layers of paint creates a three-dimensionality that characterizes the artist’s strongest work. Furthermore, the work is highlighted by the deep swaths of black delineating the subject, representing a signature element of Rouault’s portraiture of this period.

Woman praying oil on canvas painting
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Frame size 70x61 cm.
José Muntané Balaguer (1889 - 1963)
Immerse yourself in the spiritual beauty of "Woman Praying," a sublime work by the acclaimed Spanish artist José Muntané Balaguer. This oil on canvas captures the serenity and introspection of faith, showcasing a masterful use of light and shadow reminiscent of great masters such as Joaquín Sorolla, Ignacio Zuloaga, and even the emotional restraint of Diego Velázquez in his most intimate portraits.
The painting depicts the purity of a devotional moment, where the female figure seems to transcend the canvas, inviting the viewer to reflect on spirituality and human connection. The meticulous attention to detail and subtlety in expressions place Muntané Balaguer in the tradition of artists who immortalized scenes of everyday life with unique sensitivity, much like Julio Romero de Torres...
