<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chinoiserie, post: 10489529, member: 79460&quot;]I found this in Stockport today. It made complete sense just to leave it in the shop and pretend id never seen it, other than I love it. Nearly killed myself dragging it home 1km to the train station then on the train, bus then tram. It weighs about 30lb according to my bathroom scales and is 100cm x 80cm. One day I&#039;ll learn... Two people actually stopped me on the way to remark at it. A few looked at me like the elephant man.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had time to do some research on the way home and I&#039;m still not sure who it is by.</p><p><br /></p><p>First of all there is Joaquim sabaté Casanova. This website matches the signature on my painting to this name.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.mutualart.com/Artist/Joaquim-Sabate-Casanova/86E5D57716A5AB46/Artworks" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.mutualart.com/Artist/Joaquim-Sabate-Casanova/86E5D57716A5AB46/Artworks" rel="nofollow">https://www.mutualart.com/Artist/Joaquim-Sabate-Casanova/86E5D57716A5AB46/Artworks</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Then this site has a piece they have attributed to Joaquim sabaté Casanova. Different signature. &#039;&#039;Quimet&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.artmajeur.com/joaquin-sabate-casanova-quimet-sabate-ca/en/artworks/17356222/camino-nevado" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.artmajeur.com/joaquin-sabate-casanova-quimet-sabate-ca/en/artworks/17356222/camino-nevado" rel="nofollow">https://www.artmajeur.com/joaquin-sabate-casanova-quimet-sabate-ca/en/artworks/17356222/camino-nevado</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Then there is <b><font size="5">Joaquim Sabate De Mora</font></b></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.remozarte.com/index.php/trabajos-realizados/42-restauracion-de-pintura-al-oleo-de-joaquim-sabate" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.remozarte.com/index.php/trabajos-realizados/42-restauracion-de-pintura-al-oleo-de-joaquim-sabate" rel="nofollow">http://www.remozarte.com/index.php/trabajos-realizados/42-restauracion-de-pintura-al-oleo-de-joaquim-sabate</a></p><p><br /></p><p>However this guy signs his paintings &#039;de mora&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another site references de Mora and Casanova as being the same person. </p><p><br /></p><p>The more I dig the more contradictions spring up.
