Featured in this lot is this gorgeous, framed original oil painting of a Native American on horseback done by Jorge Braun Andres Tarallo. Jorge Andres Tarallo was born in 1951 in Montevideo, Uruguay where he studied at the National Arts School under the direction of the well-known artists Riveiro and Garino. In 1972, he came to the US to begin his career as a painter. Critics frequently comment on a Rembrandt influence in his landscapes and seascapes, but Braun describes himself as an impressionist painter concerned with realism. Braun paints the majestic southwest of America and faithfully renders the local Native Americans whose culture has always been intrinsically woven into the land. His Love of the land imparts to paintings a magical light which he captures in them lifts the viewer to the lofty heights he portrays. In all of his paintings there is a feeling of moisture, depicting the time around sunset when the twilight and dew of evening cling to the land melting into the atmosphere. This is an amazing original oil on canvas that shows great attention to detail throughout the whole piece. This untitled painting depicts a Native American man riding on horseback through the snow and mountains. He rides past a dead tree into the vastness of the plains, snowy mountains, and cloudy skies. The shadows, contrast of colors and attention to detail really bring this painting to life, and show Jorge Braun Andres Tarallo's amazing talent. The painting is signed in the bottom right hand corner reading, "Braun". This is a large painting set in a wooden frame and shows good condition on the canvas and frame, with no signs of damage. The art measures 36" L x 36" W. The entire piece measures 43 1/4" L x 43 1/4" W.
