The exhibit has a selection of around 80 works, mainly drawings, which are complemented by a group of paintings and material from artists' albums, which show the fascination that they felt for nature. It is a very representative group, with artists such as Baldomer Galofre, Marià Fortuny, Ramon Martí i Alsina, Lluís Rigalt, Antoni Fabrés and Jaume Morera. The exhibit highlights their interest in representing a natural environment to which they felt strongly attracted and fascinated by.

The exhibition stresses the importance of nature in Catalan art, mainly throughout the 19th century, in a time when there was an explosion of interest in the artistic movement throughout Europe, as proof of the irradiation of a contemporary sensibility that spread everywhere and crystallized in the emergence of the Romantic movement.
