This is for a beautiful original oil on linen canvas painting by the great Filipino artist Alfredo Buenaventura. This depicts workers in a field at harvest. Masterful pallette knife work gives the warm color tones great texture. The upper left area of the frame has a scuff mark and there are few wear spots in the brown velvet mat. This just needs a new mat. The frame itself is very nice. It is 100% handmade and hand fit by an experienced woodworker. Note the custom jointery work in the corners. Wiki: Alfredo Buenaventura was born into a distinguished family of artists in Bulacan, a province north of Manila, Philippines. After studying art for a short period at the University of Santo Tomas, Alfredo was placed under the tutelage of his uncle, the painter Cesar Buenaventura, who was at the peak of his artistic career as a painter, mainly of Impressionist landscapes. Alfredo used a spatula to create the expressionist fillings that characterize his works and contrasted this technique with the subtle impressionism he learned from his uncle. Alfredo died of a heart disease, shortly before his fortieth birthday. His paintings are found in private collections in the United States, Spain and the Philippines. *For those who are new to fine art note that all of the world famous 'brand name' painters are just that, brand names.
