Bidspirit auction | Urban landscape in the rain,

Urban landscape in the rain, signed Julio Cortés, Spanish School, 20th century - Oil on panel, Dimensions: 24 x 16 cm and 42 x 36 cm. The scene depicts a cobblestone street in the rain, with figures carrying umbrellas and a woman walking in the foreground. The humid atmosphere is recreated through quick brushstrokes and green and ochre tones that evoke the diffuse luminosity of water on the pavement. Julio Cortés captures everyday life with an impressionistic eye, in which the freshness of the color and the immediacy of the strokes convey the ephemeral nature of the scene.
