Calle de Limache is a 1903 oil by Juan Francisco González, held at Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a church steeple rising in the background, surrounded by lush trees and foliage. The scene is rendered in a vibrant palette of greens, blues, and yellows, with bold brushstrokes that evoke a sense of energy and movement. In the foreground, a dirt path winds its way through the landscape, lined with trees and bushes that seem to lean in towards the viewer. The overall effect is one of tranquility and peace, inviting the viewer to step into the idyllic world of the painting.
