Trained in Gaudí's workshop and seasoned in the tertulias of Els Quatre Gats, he knew how to distill the essence of an era of profound social transformations. This piece, attributed to his hand due to solid stylistic, technical, and thematic similarities, functions as a first-rate sociological document.

Bernal Máñez uses a very expressive mixed media technique, combining washes and thick impasto on paper. The treatment of light is masterful: the artist silhouettes the three characters against a nocturnal background of an intense dark blue, enveloping them in a vibrant and textured yellow halo. This luminous resource not only projects the figures toward the viewer but also emulates the warm glow of the lantern on a cold winter night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/b\u003e Luis Antonio Bernal Máñez.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTitle \/ Theme:\u003c\/b\u003e Villanciqueros \/ Traditional Choir (Folklore \/ Spanish Costumbrismo).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/b\u003e Second half of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnique and Support:\u003c\/b\u003e Original mixed media (oil\/gouache and watercolor) on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDocumented Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 15 x 11 cm (Miniature \/ Cabinet format).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSignature and Inscriptions:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-signed with a brush \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"17,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"47\"\u003e\"L BERNAL MAÑEZ\"\u003c\/i\u003e in the lower right corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle \/ Movement:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern illustration \/ Expressive figuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,7,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/b\u003e Private collection \/ Gallery stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,8,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e The paint retains a marked contrast between the dark background and yellow halo, with saturated colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eThe Taller Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003eThe group is arranged around the score held by the central figure.
