His influence lay primarily in portraiture and impressionist \nlandscapes.\nMuch of the impetus in Galicano’s works came from his travels in Europe, particularly \nin France. Much can be said about his propensity for old France. He captured images \nof distant locales like the home of the late Impressionist Master Claude Monet. The \nlate Master filled his little corner of the 19th century world with gardens and a literal \nabundance of flowers. \nIn Morning at Monet’s Garden (Giverny), the artist achieves a reconciliation of figurative \nand abstract modes. A calm morning bloom of vivid plants in a mangrove hideaway. \nThe assortment of enchanting plants, as well as the beautiful leaves of the tree boasts its \nbeauty as it stands unfazed by the morning breeze. While, the still sky and the mysterious \ndark mountain afar accentuates the picturesque scenario. The fluidity of the brushstrokes \nadd to the palpable lightness of the foliage.\nThis work of art shows the full range of Galicano’s mastery of the technical and expressive \npossibilities of color. His diverse application of brushstrokes range from the delicate, \npainterly technique of his impressionist scenes to the spare, delicate treatment of his later \nrural scenes. Indeed, it is another peaceful yet powerful work of the Visayan Realist Master.","lot_group":"PAINTING","lot_details_html":null,"alias":null,"hp":1600000,"bp":0.168,"isWithdrawn":0,"accounting_hp":1600000,"userBid":5926,"isPaid":0,"userId":22,"lot_status":"SOLD","isDone":1,"bid_history_id":null,"reserve_price":null,"hammer_price":1868800,"fav":0},"image":[{"id":30942,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/40/65/lot/52.jpg","isFeatured":1}]},"increment":[900000,1000000,1100000,1200000,1300000,1400000,1500000,1600000,1700000,1800000,1900000,2000000,2200000,2400000,2600000,2800000,3000000,3200000,3400000,3600000,3800000,4000000,4200000,4400000,4600000,4800000,5000000,5500000,6000000,6500000,7000000,7500000,8000000,8500000,9000000,9500000,10000000,11000000,12000000,13000000,14000000,15000000,16000000,17000000,18000000,19000000,20000000],"prev":51,"next":53,"count_bid":0,"bid_history":[],"tokenExpired":1}
