7075 Grutas de Cacahuamilpa

Cacahuamilpa's Grottos (Grutas de Cacahuamilpa in Spanish) is an oil painting finished in 1835 by Jean-Baptiste Louis Gros, after his second visit to the caves in Grutas de Cacahuamilpa National Park, in Guerrero, Mexico. It is now in the Museo Soumaya, Mexico City.

Features

The picture, in a naturalist style, shows a group using the rocks as a table. The chiaroscuro arises from the lights of the expeditioners, giving a Romantic feeling.
