Galicano is a painter of tonal landscapes who is renowned especially for his small, intimate views of nature. This sweetly melancholy painting seems to occupy a borderline between everyday observation and a visionary world all Galicano’s own. Galicano’s aim was to heighten and dramatize the effects of light and shade, and to achieve a more exact pictorial approximation of nature’s fleeting changes. A sense of liveliness is conveyed by the various tones of green, ocher and white modulating in various intensities and with effects of transparency.
