Sorolla Masterworks From Madrid Debut in Valencia in Major Loan of 59 Paintings

The loan follows the temporary closure of the Museo Sorolla for renovation.

Overview

  • The exhibition opens at Fundación Bancaja in Valencia on October 3, 2025 and runs through February 8, 2026.
  • Curated by Museo Sorolla director Enrique Varela, the show presents the museum’s foundational holdings from the family bequest in a chronological and thematic narrative.
  • Signature canvases on view include El baño del caballo, La bata rosa, Paseo a la orilla del mar and La siesta, joined by Fundación Bancaja’s own Triste herencia.
  • Organizers describe a rare chance to see these core works together outside Madrid during the museum’s closure before they return to the capital.
  • Fundación Bancaja uses the presentation to reaffirm its Sorolla role in Valencia during separate public plans for a new city venue, and the show is produced with Spain’s Culture Ministry, the Museo Sorolla and the Fundación Museo Sorolla.
