In the Spanish painting of the 20th century, the landscape acquires a growing relevance that reflects both the aesthetic changes of the European art and the cultural, social and political transformations of Spain. Far from being a simple decorative background, the landscape becomes a genre with its own identity and a privileged means of expressing modern sensibility, national sentiment and connection with nature.
