Still life of oranges, Rafael Romero Barros
Shortly after his installation in the city and when he was thirty years old, Romero Barros created this great work that, in the long run, would consecrate him as a teacher and would show his mastery of the still life. In it he follows the conventional scheme of placing the fruit on a table in front of a wall, though under a barred window that opens up to the outside, which allows him to conjugate an astonishing play of light in order to create a complete discourse on the different phases and applications of the orange.
