About the piece

Painted around 1900 by Joaquín Torres-García, this work depicts a peaceful 'Temple to the Nymphs.' The composition balances classical architecture with the natural elegance of swans and cypress trees, all unified by a harmonious blue-toned palette characteristic of the Noucentisme movement's idealist spirit.
