Overview

  • The Generalitat Valenciana is in advanced negotiations with the Hispanic Society of America (HSA) to secure a long-term loan of Joaquín Sorolla's artworks for display in Valencia.
  • The loan will feature a selection of Sorolla's 'international' paintings but will not include the monumental 'Visión de España' series, which remains in New York.
  • The artworks are expected to be exhibited at Valencia's Palacio de las Comunicaciones, though this has not been officially confirmed.
  • This collaboration builds on a long-standing relationship between Valencia and the HSA, which holds the largest Sorolla collection outside Spain, comprising nearly 200 works.
  • The agreement underscores cultural diplomacy efforts to strengthen historical ties and make Sorolla's legacy more accessible in his home region.
