Curated by Soad Houman and Catherine Joy, this exhibition features works from the collection of Baluard attached to landscape, the Mallorcan painter and academic O'Neille Joan defended as an independent genre in his Tratado de paisaje (Treatise on Landscape) (1862).
It also shows the different views on landscape brought by artists from other areas - mostly from Catalonia and Argentina-introducing modernism and symbolism on the island, as opposed to the Mallorcan pictorial tradition linked to academicism.
The selected works in Mallorca y la interpretación del paisaje. Obras de la colección de Es Baluard (Mallorca and landscape interpretation. Works from the collection of Es Baluard) were conducted between 1872 and 1934. They show the representation of the natural Mallorcan landscape and the urban environment of the town of Palma, reflecting both artistic currents of the time.
