About the piece
Painted in 1877 by Catalan artist Joaquim Vayreda i Vila, this work beautifully exemplifies the Olot School's approach to landscape. The composition features starkly pollarded trees in the foreground, contrasted against a gentle, awakening hillside where the first blossoms of spring are beginning to appear. The muted palette and soft, diffused light create a grounded, contemplative atmosphere.
