A landscape of the barren plains of
Aragon, where the absence of
vegetation makes rock the
protagonist and the element used to
build the painting. From the
boulders in the foreground to the
mountains in the background, the
landscape is based on a panoramic
and monumental sense, with a sober
composition far from any
artifice.
The work is an example of this
artist's capacity in the genre of
landscape painting. It also reveals
his debts to other painters,
including his friend, Antonio Muñoz
Degrain. The very vivid colors,
rooted in Valencian painting; the
grandiosity of the chosen vista and
the modern technique employed here,
along with the decorative concept
with which this work was
undertaken, make it one of this
artist's finest landscapes.
