Joaquin Sorolla, Painter of Joy

The Spanish painter Joaquin Sorolla (Born February 27, 1863 Valencia, died August 10, 1923) produced a very diverse output. Bright beach scenes, warm portraits, and more that vary in subject matter and style. Yet all are suffused with a spirit that says "Life is joy!"

Here are a few samples:

The White Boat



Bacchante



And They Still Say Fish are Expensive!



The Actress, María Guerrero



Boy with a Ball


Before Bathing




and, a Self-Portrait
