The coach house 1907

"The Coach House" (1907) by Ramón Casas (1866-1932) depicts a scene of transition in early 20th-century Spain, contrasting traditional horse-drawn carriages with the arrival of the automobile. The painting showcases Casas's mastery of realism, capturing the details of the coach house, the figures, and the gleaming car. The composition highlights the juxtaposition of old and new technologies, with the car taking center stage while the traditional carriages are relegated to the background, suggesting a shift in transportation and societal values.
