JOAQUÍN SOROLLA - MICOL FORTI CONSUELO LUCA DE ...

Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (Valencia  1863 - Cercedilla  1923) was one of the major Spanish
painters at the turn of the 19th century  his paintings exude light  and appear modern and
photographic-like  capturing dynamic moments of gentle and subtle realism  capable of staging
the contemporary  without commenting it. An authentic visual poetry presenting a marine rural
Spain rooted in tradition  an artistic style relevantly set between Goya and Picasso  marking a
crucial milestone in the course of Spanish and European painting.  Published on the occasion of
the exhibition at Palazzo Reale in Milan  this monograph documents the long and prolific
artistic career of this important protagonist of the international art scene in the decades
between the 19th and the 20th centuries: scenes of life by the sea  fishermen  beautiful and
fleeting real-life moments (with children playing by the sea and women strolling along the
beach)  as well as portraits in the wake of the grand portraiture tradition established by
Greco  Goya  Velázquez  interpreted with modern photographic take.    The main subject of the
Spanish painter's art however was always the Mediterranean light  that the artist masterfully
captured on his canvases with vibrant  light  bright palettes and pure dazzling whites  his
extraordinary works en plein air by the sea make Sorolla an exponent of an accomplished
Mediterranean impressionism.
