WRITE UP:
Having weathered the most turbulent periods of his life — that would crescendo into the destruction of his marriage and his subsequent trial — Juan Luna would nevertheless emerge unscathed. He would be acquitted and released from prison in February 1893 and quit Paris for Madrid, the city where his fame and good fortune had begun. Luna would be seeking a place of safe harbor. Luna scholar Martin Arnaldo notes that he would stay for the winter and spring in the Spanish capital and then in July head for Bilbao to summer by the sea.At the invitation of his powerful friend, the Senator Victor Chavarri, he would come to Portugalete in Bilbao and stay for almost a year. While there, he would be commissioned to paint the steel mills owned by Chavarri's partner, Don Martinez Rivas; and woulda also chronicle the quaint villages and farms that surrounded the northern city. He would stay till April 1894, creating a series of works known as his 'Bilbao period'. One work from this period titled “Puesto de Sol (Sunset)” in the collection of the Lopez Museum dated 1893 is from this very period, with a similar vista of a forest and a small town behind it. The landscape at hand similarly captures one of those picturesque villages and farms all the way to San Sebastian. Red tiled roofs punctuate the green landscape. A large structure with a pair of wooden doors propose a barn. A brown newly-plowed field is in the foreground; behind it are haystacks and a traveling cart pulled by a horse. Juan Luna was the master of the painted suggestion, creating in a few short strokes, interesting characters and their stories. It’s in the somber quiet of the afternoon, in the middle of the famous Spanish siesta when time has stood still and would find that peace at last in Basque country in northern Spain. The painter longs for that same quietude.
