A tribute to the painter of natural light
It is housed in what was Sorolla's home and studio, and features numerous paintings by the artist.
The museum will provide an insight into Joaquín Sorolla's evolution as a painter. Visitors can see the artist's different stylistic and thematic periods, such as his paintings on social criticism, family portraits, works depicting typical local customs, and self-portraits. The Impressionist landscapes are the key works in the artist's colourist period. Besides these, there are other items on display, including sculpture, ceramics, jewellery, old photographs and an important archive containing his private correspondence. There are also important works by other artists such as Benlliure, Rodin and Bloy.
