Royo Monograph Art Book and Protective Clamshell Box

This item is a large-format monograph or art survey book featuring the work of the contemporary Spanish artist José Royo. The book is presented inside a high-quality blue fabric-wrapped clamshell or slipcase box, indicating a deluxe or limited edition printing. The front cover of the book features a classic Royo impressionistic painting of a female figure in profile, wearing a white gown with a pink ribbon in her reddish-brown hair. The artistic style is heavily influenced by the Levant School and Sorolla, characterized by thick, impasto-like brushstrokes, vibrant play of light, and a pastel-heavy palette dominated by blues, oranges, and pinks. The name 'ROYO' is prominently displayed in gold foil lettering across the lower center of the cover. In terms of condition, the item appears to be in excellent used condition with sharp corners on the exterior box and no visible fading or moisture damage. The paper quality seems to be a heavy gloss or semi-gloss stock typical of high-end fine art publications. These books were often produced in the late 1990s through the early 2010s to accompany major gallery exhibitions or as retrospective collections of his Mediterranean-inspired oeuvre.
