Santiago Rusiñol’s five stays in the city of Granada between 1887 and 1992 highlight the great importance of both the Alhambra gardens and the Carmens of Granada for his work. Lourdes Sánchez Rodrigo analyses, through the biography of the Catalan artist, the most revealing aspects of this synergy between the space he inhabited and the work he produced.

In the words of Ángel Ganivet, Rusiñol is the painter of our cypresses, the devotee of the melancholy of our city. For the cover we generated a system of four abstract covers based on cypresses from different works by the artist. The titles, subtitles and section starts are composed, as in his work, as vertical rows of perfectly aligned cypresses.
