1868-1908
T01657 Paysage fantastique (Fantastic Landscape)
c.1906-7
Not inscribed
Pastel on paper, 12 7/8 x 19 3/4 (32.6 x 50.2)
Presented by Roberta González 1972
Repr:
Pierre Descargues, Joan González
(Paris 1971), p.77 (dated 1902-4); Vicente Aguilera Cerni, Julio Joan Roberta González: Itinerario de una Dinastía
(Barcelona 1973), pl.68 (dated c.1904-7); Ronald Alley, The González Gift to the Tate Gallery

This landscape and T01651
seem to have been inspired by the majestic spectacle and awe-inspiring rocks of Montserrat near Barcelona, for which Joan González expressed great admiration in his notes. Both were therefore probably executed after his return to Spain in 1906.
