Tony Santacruz Oil on Canvas Landscape with Harvest Scene - This oil on stretched canvas by Tony Santacruz depicts a vibrant Mediterranean landscape during a harvest. The composition shows laborers working within an orchard or grove, including figures on ladders and workers in the foreground amidst a field of pink, yellow, and violet tones. In the middle ground, a white-walled village sits at the base of rolling ochre-colored mountains. The work is executed in a Post-Impressionist style featuring heavy impasto and rhythmic, expressive brushstrokes, most notably in the swirling blue and white sky. The painting is signed in black paint at the lower right Tony Santacruz. It is housed in a wide, distressed gilt wood frame with a dark inner cove. The reverse is paper-backed and includes a gallery label from HOOF PRINTS, West Chester, Pennsylvania. 34.5 x 28.5 inches (framed).
