Description
Benito Quinquela Martín
Momento apacible, 1975
-
In Momento Apacible, Benito Quinquela Martín constructs a serene harbor scene, where boats, reflections, and architecture compose an image intimately connected to the landscape of La Boca. The work presents the port as a space of identity, labor, and contemplation, with a more restrained atmosphere within his pictorial universe.
The piece is signed on the front and includes an inscription on the reverse with title, authorship, and date: “Momento apacible / por Quinquela Martín / 1975”.
