Description

RAMÓN PARADA JUSTEL (Esgos, Orense, 1871-1902). "Scene of the Comedy with Virgil and Dante", 1996. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the upper right corner. Measurements: 32 x 40 cm; 50 x 59 cm (frame). Ramón Parada Justel is formed in the School of San Fernando of Madrid, where the imprint of Carlos de Haes will be definitive of his evolution. He expanded his aesthetic references in Rome, where he traveled thanks to a scholarship from the Diputación de Orense. His short life was spent between his homeland and Madrid. He took part in several National Exhibitions and won third class medals on two occasions, 1899 and 1901. He is inscribed in eclecticism, adopting the most diverse techniques and themes, a style shared with Galician painters of his generation as Jenaro Carrero or Joaquín Vaamonde. Justel will be, together with these authors, one of the members of the mythical Xeracion Doente (Sorrowful Generation), a denomination promoted by Bello Piñeiro to define the group of painters who lived during the last three decades of the 19th century and who became a link between the pictorial tradition of the 19th century and the artistic renovation that would arrive with the new century. His interest in the landscape will be a constant, evolving from academicism to a free and spontaneous style, product of the direct capture of nature. His stains of color denote a light impasto and an instinctive brushstroke. He captures the light effects that build the different planes of depth. He used to paint the surroundings of Madrid. He also practiced the orientalist genre, the nude and the portrait. He was commissioned to decorate the altar of San Antonio de Padua in the Cathedral of Orense. Justel died of tuberculosis, the same disease that killed other important painters such as Jenaro Carrero Fernández, Ovidio Murguía de Castro and Joaquín Vaamonde Cornide. He is represented in the Archaeological Museum of Orense.
