Perhaps not one of Pablo Picasso's best known pieces, "Mediterranean Landscape" encapsulates a vibrant summer landscape in the Mediterranean, all the while exploring the geometric shapes in fragmented sections of buildings, gardens, and sky. There is no vanishing point to create the illusion of depth, instead the artist has cleverly constructed the composition using geometric shapes (such as circles, triangles and squares) and blocks of colour to give quasi-depth to the painting. Rather than document a place and time, Picasso has attempted to explore many aspects of the Mediterranean experience and in doing so captured the essence of the ""Mediterranean Landscape".
