Afternoon Meal La Merienda
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil canvas print that transports viewers back to the year 1772. Painted by Luis Meléndez, a renowned Spanish artist from Naples, this exceptional piece showcases his mastery of capturing everyday life in Madrid during the 18th century. The painting's format and composition are strikingly unique, as it deviates from Meléndez's usual style of stark backgrounds. Instead, he presents us with a luscious landscape setting that adds depth and beauty to the scene. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element, from the carefully arranged food on the table to the expressions on each character's face, tells its own story. This particular artwork belongs to a series called "Nuevo Cabinete de Historia Natural" commissioned by Prince Asturias for Museo del Prado. It serves as an exquisite example of Meléndez's ability to capture ordinary moments and elevate them into extraordinary works of art. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost taste the flavors of the afternoon meal and feel ourselves transported into this intimate gathering. The warm hues and delicate brushstrokes evoke a sense of tranquility and contentment. It reminds us that even in centuries past, people found joy in simple pleasures like sharing a meal with loved ones. Artokoloro has beautifully reproduced this masterpiece so that art enthusiasts around the world can appreciate its timeless beauty without commercial intent but rather for personal enjoyment or educational purposes.
