Deep greens, earthy browns, and flashes of blue and red are built up in expressive, heavily textured brushwork, giving the landscape an almost dreamlike depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting is signed “Prelato” at the lower right. Based on the signature, title, date, and subject, it is believed to be a work by Argentine artist Miguel Ángel Prelato (1910–1968), a self-taught painter from San Pedro known for his lyrical landscapes of the waterways and vegetation surrounding the Argentine delta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese river landscapes were deeply connected to Prelato’s own life. In 1968—only a year after this painting was completed—he disappeared while traveling aboard his boat, \u003cem\u003eSerpentina\u003c\/em\u003e, in the delta. His final fate remains unknown, giving works from this late period an especially compelling history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original plaque identifies the work as \u003cem\u003eCanal Arias\u003c\/em\u003e, names M.
