École Orientaliste (c. 1960) - "La Grande Baghdad"

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. - Under the indigo sky that crowns this Baghdad of vibrant textures and spatula strokes, the whispers of a glorious past can be felt. On its banks, where the Tigris caresses the land, orchards flourished—oases of greenery and freshness in the middle of the desert, adorned with palm trees, pomegranates, and dancing fountains, a delight for the senses evoking the earthly paradise. In the markets of the Abbasid capital, epicenter of global trade, the most exotic goods gathered: silks from China, spices from the Indias, ivory from Africa, and amber from the Baltic, filling the air with aromas and colors that transported to distant lands. And between the bustle of the markets and the tranquility of the palaces, the poetry of Harun al-Rashid, the poet-caliph, resounded, whose verses celebrated the beauty of love, nature, and life in a Baghdad that shone like a pearl in the desert, a beacon of culture and civilization that captivated the whole world. - Image dimensions without frame: 92 x 73 cm At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of which are unique, original, and irreplaceable. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique—features that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are pieces created individually by recognized artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the basis of our commitment to excellence and, therefore, every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means possessing a unique piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will retain both artistic and emotional value.

Thus, we guarantee that every piece that leaves our gallery is a one-of-a-kind item in the world, with no replicas, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with. Some lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the artwork’s authenticity and its free international circulation. Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and irreplaceable works, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of every piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every purchase, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate validates that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify authorship, origin, and condition. The Certificate of Guarantee includes full details about the piece, such as its author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the acquired piece. This document will be sent in digital format and signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and backing. We are committed to our clients’ satisfaction and confidence, so any questions about the authenticity or condition of the work will be answered professionally and diligently. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels. As experts in art logistics, Montbaron Gallery is committed to ensuring that every piece arrives at its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee the utmost care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices shown in the listing are indicative and subject to change depending on various circumstances. These include variations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the artwork, and possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments to customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed in advance before proceeding with shipment. Our aim is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring the artwork reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises. The frame shown in the images above has been added to the work by a third party or the seller, and is therefore not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at the buyer’s home, it can be displayed immediately on the wall. Accordingly, frame damages that do not affect the artwork’s integrity will not be accepted as a valid basis for filing a claim or requesting a cancellation.
