Description of the work A striking oil on canvas by the Valencian painter Antonio Segrelles (born 1946), an artist linked to the tradition of Mediterranean landscape painting, especially known for his representations of ports, seascapes, and coastal landscapes. The composition presents a lively port scene with various fishing vessels moored, whose masts and rigging are cut against a background of buildings and vegetation. The surface of the water captures the fragmented reflections of the boats, treated with quick, vigorous brushstrokes. What stands out is the rich texture of the oil, applied with generous impasto and an spontaneous brushwork that adds relief and dynamism to the composition. The palette combines luminous whites, ochres, deep blues, and warm tones, creating a Mediterranean atmosphere of great visual intensity. Style, context, and influences The painting sits within the Valencian landscape tradition inspired by Impressionism, a current that throughout the 20th century maintained a special fondness for representing light, the sea, and harbor environments. The work shows affinities with Impressionism in its interest in capturing light variations and reflections on the water, as well as in the use of a fragmented brushstroke that gives prominence to visual perception. Its execution also reveals a post-Impressionist sensibility, especially in the freedom of chromatic treatment and in constructing forms through color patches and abundant paint. Within the Valencian artistic context, this luminous interpretation of the landscape links to the Marinist tradition developed by artists such as Joaquín Sorolla and José Navarro Llorens, though with a more material pictorial language and a contemporary execution. The combination of a recognizable figurative structure with expressive brushwork makes the scene a personal interpretation of the Mediterranean port environment, where light and texture are as important as the depicted subject.
