The technical uniqueness of the piece lies in the direct use of a painter's palette as a rigid support. On it, the artist applies oil paint with rapid, gestural brushstrokes, loaded with material. The chromatic palette is intensely Fauvist: a sky in violet and purple tones dominates under a sun ablaze in cadmium red, creating a vivid contrast with the yellows of the architecture and the turquoise greens of the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eReasons for Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCollector's Support:\u003c\/b\u003e The use of the cut-out wooden palette itself creates a meta-artistic interplay between the painter's tool and the final work, making it a unique conversation piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEmblematic Iconography:\u003c\/b\u003e It represents the most coveted urban and maritime profile of Sitges, a market with constant tourist and regional collecting demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eChromatic Force:\u003c\/b\u003e The bold combination of violets, yellows, and turquoises provides a modern luminosity that fits perfectly in contemporary interior spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCustom Presentation:\u003c\/b\u003e It is presented framed with a yellow passe-partout that highlights the contour of the palette and an outer frame in violet\/purple, matching the predominant tones of the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/b\u003e Javier Rey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e View of Sitges from the Promenade (Attributed title)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/b\u003e Contemporary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Expressionism \/ Fauvism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/b\u003e Oil on board cut in the shape of a painter's palette\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWork Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 40 x 28 cm (Palette)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions with frame:\u003c\/b\u003e 50 x 38 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,7,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSignature:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower right corner of the palette (\"Rey\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,8,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBack Inscription:\u003c\/b\u003e Handwritten note on the back sealing paper (\"2.9.2016 \/ Painted by Luis Barbadillo\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,9,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,9,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Excellent structural and pictorial layer condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe Workshop's Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eViews of Sitges painted on original supports or artist's palettes have an extraordinarily fast commercial turnover, both for their high-end souvenir value and their appeal to collectors of Catalan art.
