Story
During the post-war housing boom of the 1960s and 70s, a specific genre of 'Grand Landscape' art emerged to fill the expansive walls of new suburban estates.
Maker / Origin
The signature 'Posadas' is associated with a prolific output of high-quality decorative landscapes during the mid-to-late 20th century.
Condition & Value
The painting appears to be in excellent vintage condition with the canvas remaining taut on its original stretchers. Value for these large-scale mid-century oils is currently rising due to the 'Grandmillennial' and 'Eclectic' design trends.
