Joaquín Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 – died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene he was painting. He was a master of light.
Giving an overview of his incredible huge production with over 4, 000 works is inherently a subjective choice by the curator. Like with an exhibition, what is the point you are making? This selection is not intended as a challenge to other experts, but a celebration of the genius.
Joaquín Sorolla painted to please his patrons, to make money for a good living, to create a solid inheritance for his family and descendants. He was a deeply responsible father, shaped by his own childhood. He was Catholic and believed in mercy.
He also had humor and he delighted in the artistic joke, which showed his friendly and beautiful spirit.
