Description
🐓 "Rubio the Rooster" – Original 1930s Catalan Folk Art Oil Painting | Rustic Empordanesa Elegance 🖌️ Meet Rubio – A Rooster with Roots and Soul Introducing Rubio, the proud Empordanesa rooster at the heart of this vibrant 1930s Catalan folk oil painting. Rendered with expressive charm and a keen eye for character, this unsigned original is titled "Rubio the Catalan Empordanesa Rooster." Painted in oil on board, it embodies a rich blend of storytelling and rustic artistry — a tribute to a rare breed and a cultural symbol of Catalonia’s farming heritage. 🌿 Visual Style & Composition Set against an imaginative landscape of stylized green foliage, Rubio stands alert and dignified, his golden feathers glowing warmly against shades of emerald and teal. His vivid red comb and confident stance draw the viewer’s eye, while the textured, gestural brushwork breathes life into every feather and frond. The painting’s folk-naïve style is full of personality — mixing bold movement, heartfelt detail, and whimsical expression. Rubio seems not merely observed, but known. 🇪🇸 A Symbol of Heritage Rubio represents the Blonde (Blat) variety of the Empordanesa, a rare heritage breed from northeastern Spain. Known for their creamy plumage, productive layers, and distinct beauty, these birds were once essential to Catalan farm life. Today, they symbolize sustainable agriculture and cultural pride. Through this portrait, Rubio becomes more than a rooster — he’s a living legacy, lovingly preserved in pigment. ✍️ Artist & Signature Unsigned, as is common with folk art of the period — allowing the subject and brushwork to take center stage. 🪵 Frame Presented in its original handmade 1930s frame, this piece features carved rosettes, notched detail, and a deep, rich patina. The dark-stained wood perfectly complements the painting’s rustic warmth and storytelling charm. Dimensions: 95 cm (H) x 74 cm (W) x 3.5 cm (D) 🧾 Provenance & Exhibition Sourced from a private Catalonian collection, later held by a respected Northern UK fine art dealer. It was expertly curated and catalogued by Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD and later featured in a notable exhibition at the Middle Shire Museum, where it drew praise for its bold brushwork and cultural depth. ❤️ Why Collect Rubio? ✅ A unique named subject with regional identity ✅ Authentic 1930s Catalan folk painting ✅ Dynamic composition and rich textures ✅ Original handcrafted vintage frame ✅ Exhibited and well-documented provenance ✅ Perfect for farmhouse, heritage, or eclectic interiors Rubio adds charm, depth, and personality to any wall — a true conversation piece with a story to tell. 🛒 Don’t Miss Out Rubio is one-of-a-kind — add this heritage poultry masterpiece to your collection before it flies the coop! 🔎 Browse more treasures in our gallery: Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD 💬 Have a question?
