About the piece
Created in 1863, this masterful oil painting by Mexican artist José María Velasco depicts the San Ángel landscape. The composition artfully balances the natural world—represented by the mist of a waterfall and a sharp agave plant—with the encroaching industrial era, symbolized by the smoking chimney of a large stone building in the distance.
