Sorolla Masterworks Go On View in Valencia in Rare Loan From Museo Sorolla

The loan is possible because Madrid’s Museo Sorolla is temporarily closed for renovation.

Overview

  • The exhibition opens to the public at Fundación Bancaja on October 3 and runs through February 8, 2026 in Plaza Tetuán.
  • It brings together 59 paintings from the Museo Sorolla’s collection, curated by museum director Enrique Varela with a chronological and thematic layout.
  • Highlights include El baño del caballo, La bata rosa, Paseo a la orilla del mar and La siesta, presented alongside Fundación Bancaja’s own Triste herencia.
  • Organizers frame the show as an unusual chance to see these foundational museum works outside Madrid before they return.
  • The presentation is jointly produced by Fundación Bancaja, Spain’s Ministry of Culture, the Museo Sorolla and the Fundación Museo Sorolla, underscoring Bancaja’s Sorolla role as a separate Generalitat–Hispanic Society venue advances.
