Overview

• The exhibition opens Friday, October 3, 2025, at Fundación Bancaja in Valencia and runs through February 8, 2026.
• Most of the canvases seldom leave Madrid during the Museo Sorolla’s renovation, with highlights such as El baño del caballo, La siesta, Paseo a la orilla del mar and La bata rosa on view alongside Bancaja’s own Triste herencia.
• Enrique Varela describes the selection as the museum’s foundational works, drawn from the family bequest that created the Museo Sorolla, and organizes them in a chronological and thematic narrative.
• Fundación Bancaja positions the show as a signature moment for its long Sorolla program, with president Rafael Alcón calling the presentation “insólita” and affirming that “Bancaja is and will be sorollista.”
• La Vanguardia reports that 40 of the 59 paintings appear at the venue for the first time, as the city also advances a separate Generalitat–Hispanic Society project at the Palacio de las Comunicaciones, now out to tender for building works.
