The General Council has acquired the painting *La Casa de la Vall* (1932) by Joaquim Mir i Trinxet, an artwork that captures both the historic building and the Andorran landscape of the 1930s.
The announcement came from the Consell General, Andorra's parliament, highlighting the piece's dual significance. Beyond its artistic depiction of Casa de la Vall—the country's longstanding seat of government—the canvas also documents a pivotal historical episode: the 1933 revolt.
Painted in 1932, the work preserves a vivid snapshot of the era, blending scenic elements with the political tensions that erupted the following year. The revolt marked a turbulent chapter in Andorran history, underscoring the painting's value as both cultural and documentary heritage.
