The Valley of the Orange. Biniaraix (Mallorca)

"The Valley of the Orange. Biniaraix (Mallorca)" is a painting by Santiago Rusiñol, created between 1900 and 1910. It's housed in the Museum of Montserrat. The painting measures 1.24 meters in width and 0.985 meters in height.

The artwork depicts a sun-drenched valley scene, likely in Mallorca, Spain. The foreground is dominated by a path winding through an orchard of orange trees, their foliage rendered in various shades of green and yellow-green, suggesting a time of year when the fruit is ripening or has recently been harvested. The trees are interspersed with other vegetation, including some with autumnal coloring (reds and yellows), indicating a transition between seasons. The path leads the eye towards a village nestled in the valley, situated against a backdrop of rugged, mountainous terrain. The village buildings are primarily light yellow or ochre, with a few white structures visible. A church steeple is prominent in the village's center. The mountains in the background are a mix of muted browns, grays, and purples, suggesting rocky formations. The sky is a pale, cloudy blue. The overall style suggests a Post-Impressionistic approach, with visible brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the light and color of the scene.
