"A Spanish Village" is a watercolor painting by the Scottish artist Arthur Melville (1855–1904), known for his distinctive and innovative approach to the medium. Melville, a member of the Glasgow Boys, a group of influential modern painters, was celebrated for his vibrant use of color and ability to capture the effects of light. Although the exact date of "A Spanish Village" is not well-documented, it is believed to have been created during Melville's travels in Spain in the 1880s or 1890s, a period when he produced some of his most significant works.

The painting depicts a sun-drenched scene typical of a Spanish village, showcasing Melville's skill in rendering the luminous quality of the Mediterranean light and his fascination with the daily life of the places he visited. His technique involved applying pure pigment onto the paper and manipulating the color with water, sometimes even allowing the pigments to dry and then washing them out to achieve the desired effect. This method, which he developed while traveling in the Middle East and North Africa, allowed him to create works of striking luminosity and transparency.

"A Spanish Village" is characterized by its loose brushwork, bold use of color, and the interplay of light and shadow, which contribute to the painting's sense of atmosphere and place. Melville's work, including this piece, was influential in the development of British watercolor painting, pushing the boundaries of the medium and inspiring future generations of artists.

The painting is part of the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland, which holds a significant number of Melville's works. "A Spanish Village" is considered an important example of Melville's mature style and his contribution to the genre of travel painting, reflecting both the artist's personal experiences and the broader Victorian interest in exotic locales.
