The ruins of an old Tile Factory
and the adjacent constuction on
Príncipe Pío Hill at the Royal Seat
of La Florida, Madrid.
This enclave was one of the most
visited by Haes and his disciples,
as they often went there to do
outdoor painting exercises for the
San Fernando School.
The intensity of the light, the
tonal variations of the ochers,
browns and greens, and their
contrast with the breadth of the
sky were inspiring to Carlos de
Haes from the very start.
This work was donated to the
now-defunct Museum of Modern Art by
Jaime Morera and accepted by Royal
Order of 10 June 1899.
