This masterpiece of Spanish impressionism captures a customary scene from the Valencian coast, featuring two children in the sea, playing with their boat.

Belonging to the series of marine paintings done in Valencia, Spain.

The work shows a couple of children playing on the Valencia beach in the mid-20th century.

It is not very common for Sorolla to use a mosaic of colors to depict the simplest figures, in this case, he uses a large part of the palette to paint the faces of the mother and son; which appear shaded by the white towel receiving the sun's rays from above.

The image is costumbrista, inspired by typical family life on the Valencian coast.

This work was painted in 1904 and belongs to the series of paintings set in Valencia.

This painting depicts a customary scene from the town of Ayamonte in Huelva, painted in 1919. It shows the fishermen processing the tuna they have just extracted from the sea.

The beauty of the costumbrista scene is not overshadowed by the complexity of the work. Master Sorolla brilliantly executed the figures, wind, and light sources. The painter achieved one of the warmest and most joyful paintings of his career.

This painting depicts a summer evening (almost night) in the Basque city where residents gather to watch the majestic natural spectacle. The cloudy and stormy sky led the artist to select from his palette a range of tones close to green and gray.

Sorolla demonstrates an extraordinary vision, capturing the slightest details and nuances, so that the painting shows not only the image but the entire atmosphere of the moment.

The work shows a young man taking his animal out of the sea after washing it.

belongs to a series of canvases painted in the Basque Country by Joaquín Sorolla in 1905. The artist was not inclined to give unique titles to each painting, which is why the title of this one is repeated in other works of the same series.

The image is luminous, showing a peaceful beach afternoon, with elegant, loose, and fresh clothing. Typical of the Basque aristocracy of the time.

This painting is part of the classic series where the artist portrayed a variety of characters in everyday situations, always around the Valencia coast.

A girl in pink entering the beach, under the watchful eye of her caretaker, who carries a baby in her arms.

Sorolla had a special predilection for painting children, and an astonishing ease and mastery in representing reflections of wet sand, clothing mixed with shadows and sunlight. This is one of the works where the most elements that the painter managed at will are combined.

Empty boats moored on the bank of a river.

Considered a masterpiece of modern Impressionism.

The canvas shows four young maidens lying on the grass, one of them sitting up. The characters are crafted using blotches, the effects of light and shadow with thick brushstrokes, as had been the practice of Impressionist masters from Holland and France.

The canvas depicts four girls playing, of whom the protagonist is the artist's own daughter, on sun-bathed earthen ground, with numerous trees and a blooming garden in the background of the scene. It is a very dynamic customary composition, with the characters captured through diffuse brushstrokes, which accentuates the movement and cheerful character of the painting.

A typical early 20th-century scene set on the coast of Eastern Spain, where often women had to contribute to the household economy with their work.

Three female characters, weathered by experience and the sun, are the protagonists of this painting, looking out to the sea, with empty baskets to collect seafood and babies in their arms.

Painting of women dressed in white watching the sea under an awning on Zarautz beach, Basque Country.

This painting depicts a Valencian young man wrapping a maiden after coming out from her bath in the sea. The attire of both is traditional of the city of Valencia in the early last century.

This painting is an outdoor portrait with the particularity that the main figure is illuminated from behind. The vibrant whites of the sea foam open a beam of light that hits María (the painter's daughter) from behind. The overall effect is overwhelming, while the strength of the color falls on the background, the main figure appears almost floating in the foreground.

The theme of the painting is a recurring one for the artist, in fact, it was the main subject he developed throughout his career: children playing, bathing, and posing on the beach. The jovial and innocent character of the work is even more pronounced under the contrasts of light, ochre nuances, and brightness in all the elements: rocks, children, and water.

Belonging to the series of customary works that the painter created in his homeland, Valencia. It depicts little girls on the Mediterranean coast, with the sun and typical white dresses of the place.

In this work, the Valencian painter depicts his wife and daughter walking on the rocks at the beach.

The realistic work depicts the study of the neurologist Luis Simarro, who, while manipulating one of his experiments, draws the attention of his five assistants. The dispersion of light is fascinating, with only the table on which all characters focus their gaze receiving direct light. From there, different levels of indirect light and shadows develop.

The painting shows five young women huddled around the madame (dressed in black), in the confined space of a train cabin. Both the theme and execution of the work are uncommon for Sorolla. The realistic brushstroke with a luminist touch, depicting realities of the time, is part of a style classified by experts as "social realism."

As he did in many of his works, he was inspired by the typical coastal life of the inhabitants of Valencia in the early 20th century.

The composition is complex and the lighting effects are notable. The costumbrist scene shows two girls in the shade of a wooden parapet, where they dry and dress after a bath in the sea. The two main characters are surrounded by: two children playing in the sun, on the beach shore; bathers in the distance; an awning with shade and light; the sand with various nuances and a chair with wet clothes in a corner.
