View of Barcelona from a Rooftop in Riera de Sant Joan is a 1895 oil by Ramon Martí Alsina, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
The painting depicts a cityscape, with a rooftop in the foreground and a sprawling city beyond. The scene is rendered in muted colors, with the rooftops and buildings blending together in shades of brown and gray. A notable detail is the way the artist has captured the play of light on the rooftops, with the sun casting long shadows across the scene. This adds depth and texture to the painting, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
