"Un boque. Monasterio de Piedra" is a notable landscape painting by the influential 19th-century Spanish-Belgian artist Carlos de Haes. Born in Belgium in 1826, Haes moved to Spain and became a central figure in the Spanish landscape art movement, known for his realistic approach and his ability to capture the natural beauty of the Spanish countryside.

The painting, whose title translates to "A Beech Tree. Monasterio de Piedra," depicts a serene and detailed view of the natural landscape surrounding the historical Monasterio de Piedra, a monastery located in the Iberian System mountain range, near Nuévalos in the province of Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain. Known for its lush vegetation and picturesque waterfalls, the area around the monastery provided a rich source of inspiration for Haes.

Created in the year 1879, "Un boque. Monasterio de Piedra" is a prime example of Haes' mastery in rendering the intricate play of light and shadow, as well as his skillful use of texture to represent the foliage and the ruggedness of the natural terrain. The painting is characterized by its attention to detail and the artist's commitment to portraying the landscape with scientific accuracy, which was a hallmark of Haes' work and a reflection of his teaching at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid.

The artwork is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its influence on the development of landscape painting in Spain. Carlos de Haes was instrumental in introducing the plein air painting technique to the country, encouraging his students to observe and paint nature directly from life. "Un boque. Monasterio de Piedra" embodies this approach and stands as a testament to Haes' legacy in Spanish art history.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the landscape genre and its representation of the Spanish natural environment.
