Solentiname ‘school' Landscape Painting - Nicaragua
$295.00
Code: CRFA049
Size: 15 x 18" (38 x 46 cms)
This highly detailed oil on canvas painted by renowned painter Teresa Silva, is typical of the Solentiname 'school' of landscape painting: colour schemes that could be described as fitting of 'magical realism', minute attention to detail - every little leaf is individually painted and subject matter depicting natural history, plant life and human activity in and around the Solentiname Archipelago (a grouping of 38 tiny to small wooded islands in the southeastern corner of Lake Nicaragua).
The Solentiname Archipelago on the southern edge of Lake Nicaragua close to the border with Costa Rica. The Namu collection has always featured Solentiname folk arts - consisting of carved/painted wood figures of local fauna and these highly detailed oil paintings on canvas - as the residents of the southeastern edge of Lake Nicaragua and the Northern Plains and Rio Frio National Park of Costa Rica are all related. It would seem that the border between Nicaragua and Costa Rica in this region is simply an abstraction existing only on the map!
