Cueva de las Palomas (Valencia), 1864. Cave of the Doves. A touch of Romanticism is evident in the chosen viewpoint, with its strong contrast between the darkness of the cave, which the artist deliberately emphasizes, and the brightness of the surrounding landscape. The artist has also sought to underscore the spaciousness of the cave, as evidenced by the trees positioned along its edges and the small size of the seated human figure on the right.
