Ramon Martí Alsina is primarily a landscape painter but also does historical paintings and genre scenes, his most famous being The Great Day of Girona or Girona's Great Day (El gran dia de Girona, completed by 1863-64).
The creation process had lasted more than ten years and had been about to bring the artist to his ruin on several occasions.
Measuring 4.96 x 10.82 m, it is the largest easel painting in the history of Catalan art.
