Church and the Village of Montroig 1919

"Church and the Village of Montroig" (1919) by Joan Miró, a Catalan painter and sculptor, portrays a village in Spain. Miró's distinctive style is evident in the simplified shapes and vibrant colors, reminiscent of his later surrealist works. The church, a prominent feature in the background, is depicted with bold, geometric forms. The village, nestled among lush greenery, showcases Miró's fascination with the Catalan landscape. This oil painting reflects the artistic evolution of Miró, who began his career with a focus on landscapes before exploring abstract and surreal themes.
