In the context of 19th-century landscape painting in Colombia, the absence of a robust history is noted due to the scarcity of significant works in this genre. This article reviews the historiographic text by Eugenio Barney Cabrera, “Review of Art in Colombia During the 19th Century,” to understand that the continuous use of the term naivety to describe the artistic production of the time, characterizing it as poor and primitive, made it difficult to write a solid history of the 19th-century landscape genre in Colombia. According to Barney, the landscape was relegated to the background in favor of genres such as portrait and costumbrista painting.Downloads
