"Soto en el puente San Fernando" (English: "Under the San Fernando Bridge") is a notable landscape painting by the influential 19th-century Spanish-Belgian artist Carlos de Haes. Born in Brussels in 1826, de Haes moved to Spain and became a pivotal figure in the Spanish landscape art movement, introducing the realistic style he had absorbed in Belgium. His work is characterized by meticulous detail, atmospheric effects, and a commitment to portraying nature with fidelity.

The painting "Soto en el puente San Fernando" is a testament to de Haes's skill in capturing the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his ability to render the textures of the natural world. The work depicts a serene scene under the San Fernando Bridge, where the tranquility of the water and the lushness of the surrounding vegetation are brought to life through his masterful brushwork. The composition invites viewers to appreciate the quiet beauty of the soto, a Spanish term for a grove or a small forest, typically located near rivers or streams.

Created during a period when de Haes was at the height of his artistic powers, "Soto en el puente San Fernando" exemplifies the plein air painting technique he often employed, which involved painting outdoors to capture the essence of the landscape directly from nature. This approach was part of a broader European trend in the 19th century that emphasized the importance of natural light and direct observation in art.

Carlos de Haes's contributions to landscape painting were not only artistic but also pedagogical. As a professor at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, he influenced a generation of Spanish painters, instilling in them the principles of outdoor painting and observation that he so effectively demonstrated in his own work.

"Soto en el puente San Fernando" remains an important piece within Carlos de Haes's oeuvre, reflecting both his technical prowess and his deep appreciation for the natural world. It continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and its place within the evolution of landscape painting in Spain.
