About the Item
Antonio Torres Fuster
1847-1945 Spanish
On the Terrace
Signed "Antonio Torres" (lower left)
Oil on canvas
Antonio Torres Fuster deftly channels the artistry and spirit of the Pre-Raphaelites in this stunning oil on canvas. His work is characterized by depictions of beautiful women in opulent dress and relaxed poses, reminiscent of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Everett Millais. In this stunning painting, a young woman is seated on a terrace, gazing thoughtfully into the distance of a lush landscape. Torres Fuster’s vivid and colorful depiction of the woman, combined with his beautiful tones and textures, gives this work a depth and luminosity that is truly spectacular.
Torres Fuster began his training at the Ateneu Tarraconense de la Classe Obrera and completed it at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. Though he also composed landscapes, he stood out in particular for his paintings of Spanish dancers and singers. The art historian Francesc Fontbona observes that his paintings depict an ideal of feminine beauty close to modernist symbolism, and it is these works that are most highly collectible and sought after today.

Antonio Torres
Born in 1968 in Alicante, Spain.
My evolution as a painter has led me to achieve a recurring theme in my career: painting ballet. This is the subject in which I have dedicated myself these last few years. Direct contact with professional dancers from different countries has allowed me to observe and paint top performers in the industry, including dancers such as Yulia Tikka (Russia), Bianca Fota (Romania), Vesela Vassileva (Bulgaria), Sadaise Arencia (Cuba), Esteban Berlanga (Spain), Cristina Terentiev (Moldova), Bridgett Zehr (Canada), Victoria Ananyan (Monte Carlo), Nini Samadashvili (Georgia), Elena Evseeva (Russia), and Kristina Tabarovskaya (Russia). While my art depicts dancers from all over the world, it is worth mentioning three series with different models that particularly inspire me.
