Paintings
Oil on canvas, painted between 1918 and 1925, showing one section of the Catalan Costa Brava, the Cap de Santa Cristina, in the municipality of Lloret de Mar (Girona). The Costa Brava has always been an idyllic space for landscape painters. The section of the coast going from Portbou to Blanes known by this name is a wild and primitive area promoted as a tourist destination since the beginning of the 20th century. The name, which has since become a commercial brand, was conceived by the journalist Ferran Agulló in 1908.
