Description

This drawing of the ruins of the monastery of Montserrat, also from 1889, sensitively captures the spiritual and heritage dimension of one of the most powerful symbols of Catalan culture. Boisselier portrays Montserrat as a space of memory and identity, at a time when European romanticism valued ruins as witnesses of the past. Its inclusion highlights the European perspective on Catalan heritage and its evocative capacity.
