Following in the footsteps of the first impressionist masters, Francis Picabia became enthusiastic about the subtlety of the light of the countryside and the seaside. After an exhibition at the Cremetti Gallery in London, the painter acquired a new car in which he traveled through Spain to Andalusia. During this period he stayed in the Basque Country and painted some canvases of Fontarabia (Fuentarrabia), where the "effects of the sun" are an obsession of the artist. In 1907 he confided to a journalist that the painter "must reproduce the emotion that nature makes him feel".
