About the Item

"Homenaje a Waterhouse" (Homage to Waterhouse). Oil on panel. 2000-2010. Dimensions: 146.5 x 97.5 x 0.5 cm. Framed: 168 x 120 x 4.5 cm. In inches: 57.68 x 38.39 x 0.2 ". Framed: 66.14 x 47.24 x 1.77". "Homenaje a Waterhouse", by contemporary Spanish artist Cecilia Mellado, is a visual tribute to the dreamlike and poetic world of John William Waterhouse, the renowned Pre-Raphaelite painter. Mellado recreates the romantic, symbol-laden atmosphere characteristic of Waterhouse and reinterprets it with a personal and contemporary sensibility. In the foreground, a young woman in a flowing pink gown lies on a cushioned stone bench. Her relaxed pose, the velvety texture of the dress, and her pensive expression evoke a quiet, introspective scene. In the upper part of the composition, as if emerging from memory or a dream, a misty vision appears: a young lady gazes intently at a medieval knight leaning toward her from within a shadowy forest. The painting is subtly divided between the tangible and the imagined, yet the flowering branches that traverse the composition act as a bridge—symbolizing the connection between memory, desire, and myth. The overall mood is one of lyrical stillness, enhanced by a soft color palette that underscores the timeless quality of the piece. With this work, Cecilia Mellado not only pays homage to Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics but also brings it into dialogue with a contemporary, feminine, and emotional perspective that defines her unique voice.

Woman in the garden. Romantic Oil Blue Landscape with beautiful female figure.

Woman in the garden. Romantic and full of light landscape with beautiful female figure by the Spanish artist Manuel García Blázquez. Oil on canvas. Dimensions: Unframed: (H) 89 x (W) 116 (D) 2 cm. / 35.04 x 45.67 x 0.79 in. Framed: (H) 109 x (W) 136 (D) 4 cm. / 42.91 x 53.54 x 1.57 in. Light is the protagonist in this landscape with female figure by Manuel García Blázquez; an intense and soft light that interacts with color, and the impressionist technique that defines the work of this painter. The beautiful silhouette of a woman dressed in white and the reflections of the water in the pond at the back of the garden give the scene a certain luminous dreaminess, which contrasts with the strength of the color of the flowers in the foreground. The background landscape, so timeless and lyrical, serves as the setting for a female portrait with classical reminiscences. The work is executed along the lines...
