Est: €600 - €700
FRANCISCO HERNÁNDEZ MONJÓ (Mahón, Menorca, 1862 - Barcelona, 1937). "Marina". Oil on panel. Signed in the lower right-hand corner. Measurements: 17.5 x 31.5 cm; 21 x 35 cm (frame). An outstanding sailor specialising in the painting of ships, Francisco Hernández Monjó was the main renovator of the marine genre in the Balearic Islands at the end of the 19th century. Born into a family of silversmiths, from an early age he devoted himself to drawing the ports and ships of Mahón. At the age of twenty-three he was already teaching art in Mahón, where he had numerous disciples. In 1890 he settled in Barcelona, where he completed his training at the School of Fine Arts with Eliseo Meifrén. That same year he took part in the National Exhibition in Madrid. He also took part in the Barcelona General Exhibitions of 1894 and 1920, and in 1936 in the I Saló d'Independents. He also held exhibitions in South America, where his work was very well received. In 1898, the Tasso house in Barcelona commissioned a collection of watercolours of warships for the book "La Armada Española". He exhibited in Mahón, Madrid, Barcelona and South America, and was always well received by the public and critics. In his first stage, his work can be framed within the realist painting of the second half of the 19th century. Drawing predominates over colour, the brushstroke is flat and not very impastoed, and the colour range is soft and uniform, with a predominance of blues, greens and whites. They are often works with a low horizon, with the sky occupying most of the painting. In 1890, with his change of residence, a new stage in his painting began, characterised by the influence of the Catalan landscape painters, especially Meifrén. Hernández Monjó introduced new elements such as the diagonal composition, where the choppy sea, the boats with their sails extended and the contrasting sky are the main motifs. His brushstrokes became denser, firmer and shorter, and warmer tones such as pinks and reds were introduced into his palette. The last stage of his work, from 1920 onwards, is characterised by a luminous exaltation of Impressionist roots and a more impastoed brushstroke, with vivid tones, resulting in compositions of enormous strength. The subject matter broadened to include views of the Catalan coast and its surroundings. Hernández Monjó is mainly represented in private collections, although he also has works in the Museum of Menorca, the Ateneo de Mahón, the Nautical School of Barcelona and the Museu de les Drassanes in Barcelona.

FRANCISCO HERNÁNDEZ MONJÓ (Mahón, Menorca, 1862 - Barcelona, 1937). "Ships in the port of Mallorca". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Presents old restoration and slight flaws in the painting. Frame with slight faults in the polychromy. Measurements: 29 x 49 cm; 41 x 61 cm (frame). Outstanding sailor, specialised in the painting of ships, Hernández Monjó was the main renovator of the marine genre in the Balearic Islands at the end of the 19th century. Born into a family of silversmiths, from an early age he devoted himself to drawing the ports and ships of Mahón. At the age of twenty-three he was already teaching art in Mahón, where he had numerous disciples. In 1890 he settled in Barcelona, where he completed his training at the School of Fine Arts with Eliseo Meifrén. That same year he took part in the National Exhibition in Madrid. He also took part in the Barcelona General Exhibitions of 1894 and 1920, and in 1936 in the I Saló d'Independents. He also held exhibitions in South America, where his work was very well received. In 1898, the Tasso house in Barcelona commissioned a collection of watercolours of warships for the book "La Armada Española". He exhibited in Mahón, Madrid, Barcelona and South America, and was always well received by the public and critics. In his first stage, his work can be framed within the realist painting of the second half of the 19th century. Drawing predominates over colour, the brushstroke is flat and not very impastoed, and the colour range is soft and uniform, with a predominance of blues, greens and whites. They are often works with a low horizon, with the sky occupying most of the painting. In 1890, with his change of residence, a new stage in his painting began, characterised by the influence of the Catalan landscape painters, especially Meifrén. Hernández Monjó introduced new elements such as the diagonal composition, where the choppy sea, the boats with their sails extended and the contrasting sky are the main motifs. His brushstrokes became denser, firmer and shorter, and warmer tones such as pinks and reds were introduced into his palette. The last stage of his work, from 1920 onwards, is characterised by a luminous exaltation of Impressionist roots and a more impastoed brushstroke, with vivid tones, resulting in compositions of enormous strength. The subject matter broadened to include views of the Catalan coast and its surroundings. Hernández Monjó is mainly represented in private collections, although he also has works in the Museum of Menorca, the Ateneo de Mahón, the Nautical School of Barcelona and the Museu de les Drassanes in Barcelona.

GONZALO BILBAO MARTÍNEZ (Seville, 1860 - Madrid, 1938). Untitled. Oil on canvas. Attached certificate issued by Don Gerardo Pérez Calero. It has damages in the frame. Stamp on the back. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 40 x 32,5 cm; 52 x 43,5 cm (frame). In this work the artist depicts a picturesque corner consisting of a vaulted midá or fountain of ablutions, covered on the outside with whitish-blue tiles and situated at the open door of an oratory or mosque. It should be noted that Bilbao spent several years in Morocco, visiting Tangiers and other cities, the result of which is the series he produced at that time in which he evokes the aesthetics of Orientalism. Gonzalo Bilbao took up drawing as a child and in 1880 he began his career as a painter. Around this time he travelled to Italy and France with Jiménez de Aranda. In Rome he worked with the painter José Villegas Cordero, and travelled around the various Italian capitals, painting urban and rural views until his return to Spain in 1884. In the following years he visited Rome again, travelled around Spain and also went to Morocco, Paris and Munich. In Spain he taught painting, initially as a private tutor and, from 1903, as Jiménez de Aranda's successor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Santa Isabel de Hungría in Seville. In 1904 he married and took up residence in Madrid, where he continued his teaching work at the San Fernando Academy. During his career he took part in numerous fine arts exhibitions, both national and foreign, being awarded a third medal at the Universal Exhibition of Paris (1889) and the International Exhibition of Barcelona (1891), a single medal at the Universal Exhibition of Chicago (1893), and a gold medal at the International Exhibitions of Berlin (1899), Munich (1905), Buenos Aires (1910), Santiago de Chile (1910), San Francisco (1915) and Panama (1916). He also took part in the National Fine Arts Nationals, winning second medals in 1887 and 1892, first in 1899 and 1901 and an honourable medal in 1915. A traditional painter, representative of Spanish genre painting, his pictures were colourful depictions of Andalusian life and its most popular figures, and he also painted landscapes, figures and portraits, depicting prominent figures of the time such as King Alfonso XIII and the actress Carmen Díaz. The light and vitality of his compositions bring his language closer to the Impressionist aesthetic, focusing on the essential representation of atmospheres and landscapes. Gonzalo Bilbao is represented in the Museo de Bellas Artes in Seville, where he has a room devoted entirely to his work, the Museo del Prado, the Museo Jaume Morera in Lleida and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Cordoba, among others, as well as in private collections both in Spain and abroad.

FRANCISCO HERNÁNDEZ MONJO (Mahón, Menorca, 1862 - Barcelona, 1937). "Marina". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 70 x 126 cm; 91 x 147 cm (frame). In this work the author places us in front of a marina with two boats, one of them full of fishermen desperately trying to right the ship. The characters are threatened by moving waves, dark and transparent waters at the same time, worked with a great virtuosity. Beyond we see a high horizon on which we can guess the sky, which is united to the sea by the tonality and humidity of the atmosphere. The scene stands out for the great dynamism and expressiveness achieved by the author through the waves and the attitudes adopted by the protagonists of the painting. An outstanding sailor, specialized in painting ships, Hernández Monjó was the main renovator of the marine genre in the Balearic Islands at the end of the 19th century. Born into a family of silversmiths, from a very young age he dedicated himself to drawing the ports and ships of Mahón. At the age of twenty-three he was already teaching art in Mahón, where he had numerous disciples. In 1890 he settled in Barcelona, where he completed his training at the School of Fine Arts with Eliseo Meifrén. That same year he took part in the National Exhibition of Madrid. He also participated in the General Exhibitions of Barcelona in 1894 and 1920, and in 1936 in the I Saló d'Independents. He also held exhibitions in South America, where his work was very well received. In 1898, the Tasso house of Barcelona commissioned him a collection of watercolors of warships for the book "La Armada Española". He exhibited in Mahón, Madrid, Barcelona and South America, always being well received by the public and critics. In a first stage, his work can be framed within the realist painting of the second half of the 19th century. Drawing predominates over color, the brushstroke is flat and not very impastoed, and the chromatic range is soft and uniform, dominating the blues, greens and whites. They are often works of low horizon, with the sky occupying most of the painting. In 1890, with his change of residence, a new stage in his painting began, characterized by the influence of Catalan landscape painters, especially Meifrén. Hernández Monjó introduces new elements such as the diagonal composition, where the choppy sea, the boats with sails extended and the contrasting sky are the main motifs. The brushstroke becomes denser, firmer and shorter, and warmer tones such as pinks and reds are introduced in his palette. The last stage of his work, from 1920 onwards, is characterized by a luminous exaltation of impressionist roots and by a more impastoed brushstroke, with vivid tones, resulting in compositions of enormous strength. The subject matter expands, including views of the Catalan coast and its surroundings. Hernández Monjó is mainly represented in private collections, although he also has works in the Museum of Menorca, the Ateneo de Mahón, the Nautical School of Barcelona and the Museu de les Drassanes in Barcelona.
