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 BELIEVED IN MERCY.HE ALSO HAD HUMOR AND HE DELIGHTED IN THE ARTISTIC JOKE, WHICH SHOWED HIS FRIENDLY AND BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT.
