Jardín De Sa Coma. Valdemosa 

Santiago Rusiñol invites us into the "Jardín De Sa Coma" with lush greens, a sanctuary rendered in oil. Here, the cypresses, those dark, slender trees, rise like silent sentinels, their forms stretching skyward. Since antiquity, the cypress has been tied to mourning and remembrance, their presence in graveyards a common sight throughout the Mediterranean. Yet, these very trees, symbols of the underworld, are here bathed in sunlight, a vibrant celebration of life intertwined with an awareness of mortality. Consider how these evergreens, reaching for the heavens, echo similar motifs found in Renaissance art, where trees and vertical lines symbolize spiritual aspiration. This impulse, deeply rooted in our collective psyche, resurfaces through generations, manifesting in gardens and artworks alike. Rusiñol masterfully captures this eternal dance between shadow and light, life and remembrance, engaging our emotions and subconscious on a profound level.
