Joaquín Sorolla

Spanish, 1863–1923

Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (1863–1923) war ein spanischer Maler, der für seine Porträts, Landschaften und großen Werke mit sozialen und historischen Themen bekannt ist. Geboren in Valencia, wurde er als Kind waise und von Verwandten großgezogen. Sorolla studierte von klein auf Kunst, setzte seine Ausbildung in Madrid und Rom fort und wurde während eines Aufenthalts in Paris von der modernen Malerei beeinflusst. Er erlangte früh Anerkennung mit international ausstellten Werken, und seine reifen Gemälde zeigten oft spanische Menschen und Landschaften im hellen Sonnenlicht.
