Cases a la platja ("Houses At the Beach") by the Catalan painter Joan Roig Soler (1852-1909).

This artist was a member of the group known as the Sitges Luminist School, named after his hometown Sitges in the coast of Penedès, Catalonia. The artists who gathered here, between the years 1878 and 1898, focused their efforts on representing the vibrant light of the Mediterranean landscape.

📍Sitges, along Catalonia's coastline, combines stunning beaches with captivating architecture. Its diverse designs, from Modernisme (exemplified by Casa Bacardí) to the Old Town's Mediterranean allure, showcase a rich heritage. Notable landmarks like the Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla and opulent seafront mansions add to Sitges' architectural charm, making it a culturally rich and visually captivating destination.

But if you knew you might not be able to see it again tomorrow, everything would suddenly become special and precious, wouldn’t it?
