Description

European school; 19th century. "Hawk over barnyard". Oil on canvas. It presents faults in the frame. Measurements: 66 x 107 cm; 94 x 123 cm (frame). This type of painting starring animals became popular during the 19th century, due to the change in the collectors who requested a less regal painting that reflected themes of a lighter tone. In this particular case, a hawk stands over a flock of birds and rabbits, reflecting the artist's great skill in capturing the animals, which are treated aesthetically from a truthful and realistic perspective. Francisco Hohenleiter (Cadiz, 1889 - Seville, 1968) began his training in Puerto de Santa Maria, and in 1918 he moved to Seville, settling permanently in the city. An elegant, colourful painter, he soon became a leading figure in mural decoration and, above all, in posters, magazine illustration and book illustration. His works combine influences from different styles such as modernism, genre painting and romanticism. Through his posters in the 1920s he reinvented Holy Week in Seville, with works based on the use of colour and decorative lines. As a painter he focused on portraiture, landscape and the depiction of popular types, mainly majos, as well as genre scenes. He also produced nudes, church interiors and still lifes. Throughout his career he showed his work in various Spanish cities and also in Paris, with an outstanding exhibition at the Charpentier gallery in 1932. Francisco Hohenleiter's painting is rooted in that of Jiménez Aranda and García Ramos and is inspired by Goya and Alenza. He became the glosador of romantic Seville, the portraitist of the Andalusia set to music by Albéniz. His work is currently scattered all over Andalusia: murals, posters, hand programmes, etc. Today he is represented in various museums and private collections.
