Summary: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 En el presente artículo queremos poner nuestra atención en un particular recurso de la construcción cinematográfica, el matte painting, un efecto especial que en pocas ocasiones ha recibido suficiente atención por parte de investigaciones de carácter teórico pero que sin embargo se presenta como una materia particularmente sugestiva en la que se recurre a la sinergia entre lo pictórico y lo fílmico para la elaboración de una imagen híbrida producto de la colaboración simbiótica entre ambos medios. A lo largo del presente artículo comprobaremos cómo en un plano con matte painting se activa un complejo diálogo entre pintura y cine, una relación de aportes mutuos donde la pintura contribuye incorporando todo aquello que la cámara no alcanza a retratar y el cine aporta certificado de realidad a lo pintado. Y será en el seno de este contexto donde encontramos una de las relaciones más íntimas, si no la más íntima, de cuantas se establecen entre cine y pintura
