“Barranca,” a landscape artwork created by the artist Jose Maria Velasco, belongs to the Realism art movement. The artwork depicts a rugged terrain with a deep gorge, characterized by arid, earthy tones reflecting the dry environment. On the left side, a prominent agave plant emerges from the rocky landscape, set against a backdrop of rolling hills. The palette used in the artwork predominantly features warm browns and ochres, with occasional hints of greenery, invoking a sense of natural desolation and beauty. The meticulous attention to geological formations and the texture of the rocks exemplify the Realist approach in capturing the true essence of the natural world.
