Costumbrism Cuba Day Light Harvest Havana Reed Sun Light Victor Patricio
EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "Reed Harvest" by Victor Patricio Landaluze, showcases a vibrant and colorful outdoor scene from the heart of Havana, Cuba in 1874. The renowned Spanish painter, Landaluze, masterfully captures the essence of Cuban life through the genre of Costumbrism, a popular art movement that focused on depicting everyday life and customs. In this image, a group of people, including women and men, are shown working together to harvest reeds in the luminous sunlight. The reeds, which were a crucial resource for thatching roofs and making baskets, are spread out in neat piles, ready to be transported. The warm, horizontal light casts long shadows, adding depth and texture to the scene. The rich colors of the painting, from the deep greens of the reeds to the earthy browns and reds of the people's clothing, are brought to life through Landaluze's skilled use of oil paints. The painting's exterior setting, with the sun casting its golden rays over the landscape, creates a sense of tranquility and harmony. This National Museum of Fine Arts masterpiece, a testament to the beauty and resilience of the Cuban people, invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life and the connection between people and their environment. Landaluze's "Reed Harvest" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of Cuba and the art of Costumbrism.
