The chromatic intensity and textural treatment place this work within the Mediterranean tradition of 20th-century Catalan landscape painting. The artist constructs the scene using short, dense brushstrokes, which fragment the surface into small masses of color and give light an essential role in shaping the landscape. The range of pinks, ochres, greens, and yellows departs from a strictly naturalistic representation to enhance the work’s overall chromatic vibrancy. The architecture is integrated into the landscape through this same painterly treatment, establishing a balance between geometry and vegetation that brings the work closer to the Post-Impressionist interpretations of the Mediterranean landscape.
