Horizons (Spanish: Horizontes) is a 1913 oil painting by Francisco Antonio Cano Cardona.[1] Horizons shows the idealized migrant family and it portrays a colono family –consisting of a husband, wife, and child– sitting on a bluff, surrounded by mountains. The three members of the family are often referred as a version of the Holy family, with the woman dressed in colors like the Virgin Mary, with a baby on her lap.[2] The gaze of the wife, child, and father are in the direction of the man's outstretched hand, which evokes Michelangelo's Creation of Adam, and that points toward an unseen horizon.[2]

The painting is a part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Antioquia, located in Medellín, Colombia.

History

Horizons was painted in Bogotá after the painter moved there from Medellín.
