Grutas de Cacahuamilpa (painting by Baron Gros)
Cacahuamilpa's Grottos (Grutas de Cacahuamilpa[pronunciation?] in Spanish) is an oil painting finished in 1835 by Jean-Baptiste Louis Gros, after his second visit to the caves in Grutas de Cacahuamilpa National Park, in Guerrero, Mexico.[1] It is now in the Museo Soumaya, Mexico City.
Features
[edit]The picture, in a naturalist style, shows a group using the rocks as a table. The chiaroscuro arises from the lights of the expeditioners, giving a Romantic feeling.[2]
