Coastal Landscape. Signed H. Mattiarrena. Basque School. 19th-20th Century. Oil on panel. View of a rocky coastal landscape with a choppy sea, featuring a prominent natural arch-shaped formation along the shoreline. The brushwork is vibrant and impasto, with overlapping layers that add texture to the sea surface and the geological features. The sky, rendered in shades of gray and blue, blends into the horizon with atmospheric naturalness. The signature “H. Mattiarrena” is located in the lower left corner. This work belongs to the tradition of Basque landscape painting of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by an emotional and direct gaze upon coastal nature, with a particular focus on light and the movement of water. The scene conveys dynamism and naturalness, serving as a representative example of this San Sebastián artist's work. Dimensions: 31 x 21 cm (panel); 40 x 30 cm (frame).
