Ensueño

Oil on canvas, signed

Antonio (Antoni) Ribas Oliver was genre, portrait and landscape painter who was born on 17 February 1845 in Palma, Mallorca. He also went under the pseudonym ‘Antonio Rivas’. He enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palma where he studied under Juan Mestre, Miguel Torres Sancho and Guillermo Torres. He exhibited at the Madrid National Art Exhibitions of 1864, 1866 and 1887 and won first prize at the Art Exhibition of the Academia de Belles Artes, Barcelona in 1866.

He was appointed Professor at the Palma Academy in 1872 where he taught classes on landscape and perspective. In 1876, he founded the Society for the Promotion of Painting and Sculpture along with his friend Ricardo Anckermann, John O’Neill and Fausto Morell. Oliver travelled to Paris with the society to exhibit at the Universal Exposition of 1878 and exhibited at the Algiers Exhibition in 1880 winning a bronze medal. He died on 19 January 1911 in Mallorca. Oliver is considered to be the patriarch of Mallorcan art and his works are highly collectable.

Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition.

Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century European portraiture often features realistic human depictions with detailed attention to costume, light, and facial expression. Styles evolved from formal academic portraiture to looser impressionistic brushwork toward the end of the century.

Artists typically painted with oil pigments on stretched linen or cotton canvas. Frames were constructed from carved timber coated with gesso, plaster mouldings, and hand-applied gold leaf gilding.

Authenticity is determined through physical analysis of the canvas weave, natural age-related craquelure, backboard construction, artist signatures or monograms, and original framing techniques.

A framed portrait can serve as a primary focal point above a mantelpiece or sideboard. It can also be paired with contemporary furniture or added to an eclectic gallery wall for visual contrast.

Display the artwork away from direct sunlight, dampness, and fluctuating heat sources. Gently dust the frame with a soft, dry brush and consult a professional conservator for cleaning the canvas surface.
