"Despeñaperros" is an oil on canvas painting by the influential 19th-century Spanish landscape artist Carlos de Haes. Created in 1875, the artwork depicts the dramatic and rugged landscape of the Despeñaperros Pass, a natural gorge that serves as the traditional border between Castile and Andalusia in Spain. Measuring 62 x 97.5 cm, the painting is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it is displayed as an exemplary piece of Spanish landscape art from the period.

Carlos de Haes, born in Belgium in 1826 and later naturalized as a Spanish citizen, is renowned for his realistic portrayal of landscapes, which he infused with a sense of romanticism while adhering to the principles of direct observation from nature. "Despeñaperros" is a testament to de Haes's mastery of capturing the essence of the Spanish terrain, characterized by its detailed rendering of the rocky textures and the interplay of light and shadow, which conveys the imposing grandeur of the pass.

The painting is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its role in the development of landscape painting in Spain. De Haes was a professor at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, and his approach to landscape art influenced a generation of Spanish painters. "Despeñaperros" exemplifies his innovative technique and his contribution to the genre, marking a departure from idealized landscapes towards a more truthful representation of the Spanish environment. The work is often studied for its historical and cultural relevance, as well as its impact on the evolution of Spanish art in the late 19th century.
