More About the Subject of these Paintings

The fortification at the pinnacle of Cerro Santa Lucia was constructed shortly after Chile fought for and won its independence from Spain. Designed by Manuel Olaguer Feliú, the Brigadier of the Royal Engineers, in 1816, the fort is constructed from lime and stone quarried from the hill itself, and appears to spring from the very rock of which it was constructed. The painting depicts the watch-tower, turning the viewer's gaze from the outside world to the structure itself. The lookout here serves as a visual metaphor for humanity's ambitions and its reshaping of the natural world. 

The Gatehouse at Cerro Santa Lucia, designed by Manuel Olaguer Feliú in 1816 stands as a symbol of humanity's ability to shape and utilize the landscape for our own purposes. The Gatehouse serves as a symbolic barrier, holding back the encroaching urbanity and protecting the oasis of the hill. The painting encourages viewers to consider the impact of human development on the natural world and to appreciate the beauty of the landscape that surrounds us.
