In this paper we want to focus on a particular resource of the cinematographic construction, matte painting, a special effect that very few times has received sufficient attention by theoretical investigations but which nevertheless appears as a particularly suggestive subject in which the synergy between the pictorial and the film is used for the elaboration of a hybrid image resulting from the symbiotic collaboration between both media. Throughout this article we will see how in a shot with matte painting we can find a complex dialogue between painting and cinema, a relationship of mutual contributions where painting contributes incorporating everything that the camera fails to portray and film provides a certificate of reality to the painted image. And it will be in this context where we find one of the most intimate, if not the most intimate, relationships of those established between cinema and painting.
