"In the Valencian orange groves" (1928)
This large-format painting, created by Josep Morell in 1928 for the decoration of the Dauner confectionery in La Jonquera, offers a lively scene of a Valencian orchard where the protagonists are harvesting oranges. Adorned with a metal plate bearing the artist's title and signature, the work carries a handwritten note by Morell himself, adding to its historic charm. Its warm, vibrant colors evoke a Mediterranean sunset, while symbolic elements, such as a maternity scene, enrich its narrative. The diagonal shadow enhances the composition, demonstrating Morell's artistic expertise and commitment to the faithful representation of Valencian tradition.
