View of the Plains of Granada, 1915
Oil painting on canvas
17.5 x 24 cm.
This work forms part of the youthful period of Ismael González de la Serna, where light and colour are the dominant factors.
With a palette of golden tones, the painter from Acci represents the plains of Granada, submersed in an intense light which passes through clouds and flooding the fertile land surrounding the city of Granada.

He travelled throughout Europe and the United States, producing drawings for series of engravings and lithographs.

Fajalauza plates
Manuel Ángeles Ortiz is totally connected with Granada. He is part of the cultural and intellectual scene and captures landscapes, districts, monuments etc. in his works. His artistic creativity makes him multifaceted. One aspect of this is ceramics which are closer to sculpture than to household items.
These plates were produced in the kilns of the ceramics workshop of Cecilio Morales, near the Puerta de Fajaluaza between 1963 and 1967. The artist from Jaén would use the basic colours of Granada ceramics and the traditional shapes to create themes.
