Joaquín Sorolla

Walk on the Beach

US$ 627.00

Two women walk at the water’s edge in white dresses and veils, sunlight coming through the fabric, the sea a band of blue behind them. Sorolla painted his wife and elder daughter on the beach at Valencia in 1909, and caught the specific feeling of glare, breeze and heat better than almost anyone. A luminous, calm picture for a room with plenty of light.

Artist

Joaquín Sorolla (1863–1923) was orphaned at two and raised by an aunt and uncle in Valencia, where the Mediterranean light that defined his painting was simply the light he grew up in. He worked outdoors at speed and at large scale, chasing effects of sun on water, wet sand and white cloth. The Spanish called him the master of light; he preferred to say he painted what he saw.
