Original artwork description:
This is an original oil painting on linen canvas mounted on wood panel by American artist Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO). The painting itself is a horizontal format, 22” high by 28” wide. It is framed in a rustic grayish wood frame with a gold gilt liner to a framed size of 28” high by 34” wide.
The subject is the famous French monastery island Mont Saint Michel at sunset. The sea is dark and the monastery rises from the rocky island in dark silhouette. Most of the picture plane features the sky at sunset with translucent oranges and pinks emanating from the unseen sun juxtaposed against a sky and clouds with aquas and blues.
The work is aptly titled “Mont Saint Michel” and is very true to this famous place which the artist has repeatedly visited, quite entranced with its uniqueness. The painting is in excellent condition and signed front lower left by the artist. It is framed with hardware, as shown, ready for hanging.
De La Cruz has been a full-time professional fine artist since 1975. He was the subject of a museum-wide retrospective at Denver's Museo de las Americas in 2015-2016. He is listed among the three dozen most influential regional artists of the twentieth century in a Denver Post survey of regional curators and proved the bestselling artist at the first International Latino Art Auction in Phoenix, AZ. The Denver Art Museum's first purchase of a living Hispanic's work for its permanent collection was a De La Cruz. Years later, he was the only artist considered when that same museum wanted to commission a major, contemporary digital work commemorating the opening of its new Libeskind Building. De La Cruz was the recipient of back-to-back artist-in-residency grants from Colorado in his early career and received as well their very last painting fellowship. Other honors include award of Best Art Event of the Year by Westword Magazine and appointment to Denver’s Commission on Arts and Culture.
