The Cross of the Field (Seville), Joaquín Domínguez Bécquer, 1854

In this work, with a friendly interpretation of reality, a diverse crowd made up of the most typical popular types is represented in an emblematic setting. Bécquer shows great scenographic capacity in the wide perspective of the city with the giralda in the background. The spaces of light and shadow define the composition and it is this luminous and brilliant urban view that retains our retina. Object Type: painting. Date: 1854.
