For your consideration is this large, gorgeous, framed original oil painting by renowned artist Jorge Braun Andres Tarallo circa 1970s. 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 painting shows a Native American man on horseback wearing a yellow headband with two feathers sticking out the back. He has long black and grey hair and is wearing rawhide pants and shirt. He is holding a small shield in his right hand and holds the reins with the other. The man looks like he is deep in thought, both him and horse look tired but stoic and ready for anything. Jorge Braun's attention to detail is amazing and really shines in this painting with the rust colored background and fine detail in the horse and the mans face. Truly an amazing piece. The art is signed in the bottom left hand corner reading, "Braun". The art and frame are in good condition with no signs of damage or wear present. The art measures 36" L x 36" W. The entire piece measures 43 1/4" L x 43 1/4" W.
