  PABLO URANGA DÍAZ DE ARCAYA (Vitoria, 1861 - San Sebastián, 1934). "Afternoon stroll", Vitoria, 1892. Oil on canvas. Signed, dated and located in the lower left corner. Work reproduced in color in "Pablo Uranga. The Bohemian of Elgeta", Museum of Fine Arts of Alava, Provincial Council of Alava, p.154. n.46. Measurements: 52 x 68 cm; 71 x 87 cm (frame). The beaches were for Pablo Uranga places where spontaneous enjoyment was expressed in faces, gestures, baths and colors, in people of different social classes and of all ages. Children playing in the sea, elegant mothers watching over them, young people having fun and exchanging confidences, etc. The beach was also a theater box, where people watched the show. In the scene we are dealing with, possibly set on a beach in the Basque Country, one of the ladies wears light white clothes, fluttering in the breeze, while the rest of the characters wear popular costumes. In each of Uranga's paintings, the drawing disappears under the impetus of a brushstroke that captures in glances of reflections, transparencies and splashes the dialogues between the sea, the sky and its people. Pablo Uranga was a Spanish painter whose artistic career began at the School of Fine Arts in Alava, where he studied until 1880. In this year he moved to Madrid, and continued his training at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. Thanks to the influence of the sculptor Paco Durrio, he later traveled to Paris, where he met artists such as Ignacio Zuloaga and Santiago Rusiño and held his first exhibition in 1897. When he returned to Spain, he moved to the Basque Country, and made frequent trips to Segovia to spend long periods of time with Ignacio Zuloaga in the workshop of the ceramist Daniel Zuloaga, Zuloaga's uncle. From that trip to France his work was marked by Impressionism, although his predilection and knowledge of the Spanish classical school can also be appreciated. His subject matter is very varied, although his portraits, landscapes and works related to the world of bullfighting stand out. His works were exhibited in Zaragoza, Bilbao, Madrid, etc., and they are part of important private collections and institutions such as the Prado Museum and the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Fine Arts Museum in Bilbao, etc.
