Overview

• The presentation gathers 60 paintings, with 59 traveling from Madrid for a rare joint display outside the artist’s house-museum.
• Enrique Varela, director of the Museo Sorolla, curates a thematic journey through early formation, portraiture, maritime scenes, gardens, social landscapes, and Sorolla’s 1919 stay in Mallorca.
• The exhibition is jointly produced by Fundación Bancaja, Spain’s Ministry of Culture, the Museo Sorolla, and the Fundación Museo Sorolla.
• Highlights include Paseo a la orilla del mar, El baño del caballo, and La siesta, shown alongside ¡Triste herencia! from Fundación Bancaja’s collection.
• The initiative bolsters Fundación Bancaja’s bid to be a principal venue for Sorolla in Valencia as separate regional talks with the Hispanic Society progress on a different track.
