«... en la murciana huerta»: representation and evocation of a Spanish oasis landscape
Abstract
The landscape of a territory as part of the cultural, heritage and artistic value that it carries implicitly, also elicits s a whole another assessment that is inherently associated with the identity of each place. The Huerta de Murcia, as a natural environment managed by the hand of man throughout its history, has become a landscape reference since the nineteenth century thanks to the different artistic and literary manifestations that enhanced it as an identity resource. The natural set, represented by a particular vegetation, partly imported by the different cultures that settled in this region, formed, together with the importance of water in this area, the definitive perfection of oasis, eden or arcadia.
