Arcadio Mas y Fondevila is a Catalan painter who studied extensively in Italy and, upon returning to Spain, was one of the founders of the Luminaire school, a painting movement focused primarily on landscapes. He was active in the Catalan town of Sitges between 1878 and 1892 and primarily depicted views of the Sitges coast, both seascapes and the surrounding countryside, seeking to capture their atmospheric effects and the vibrations of light. During his stay in Italy, he was particularly influenced by Neapolitan naturalist landscape painters. The work is presented in a frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
