Monte Ulía, San Sebastián, 1917-1918, Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923) In the foreground, the calm, gray waters. In the background rises the brown-gray mountain with mauve and blue spots and a grayish sky. The composition of the painting is asymmetrical, centered on the mountain. In general, the work conveys a feeling of tranquility and serenity. This is enhanced by the brightness of the colors and the warm light of a winter´s day. The luminosity of the ocean completes the calm atmosphere of the image. The organic lines on the horizon soften the contrast between the sky and the mountain. This contributes to the calm and freshness of the painting. The artist reflects his ability to capture the beauty of nature. This is seen in the sharpness of each detail. From the shine of the sea waters to the texture and shine of the mountains. The balance of the elements reflects the painter´s profound mastery of the composition.
