Ressu Arrue (1922-2013) - Arrantzale con chubasquero

Extraordinary oil on canvas by the renowned Basque painter Resu Arrúe, belonging to the celebrated artistic lineage of the Arrúe brothers, pillars of Basque regionalist and costumbrista art of the 20th century. The work portrays a arrantzale (Basque fisherman) dressed in his characteristic green-water raincoat facing the bay and the port, with small boats in the background under a leaden sky typical of the Cantabrian Sea. It highlights the expressive strength of the figure, the firmness of the brushwork, and the palette of greenish, gray, and ochre tones. -Characteristics and authenticity: Signed: Brush-signed by the artist in the lower right corner: "Resu Arrúe".
