2023 marked the one hundreth anniversary of the death of Spanish painter Joaquin Sorolla, known as the "painter of light" for the extraordinary way in which he reproduced light in his paintings. To celebrate his life and his work, the Sorolla year began back in February of 2023 and, throughout these months, events and exhibitions were organized in different parts on the world to remember the artist.
Now, the Sorolla Museum, located in Madrid, in what used to be Sorolla's house, will be closing their Sorolla year with the exhibition "Sorolla en 100 objetos" (Sorolla in 100 objects), which aims to bring people closer to Sorolla not only as a painter, but as a person.
To learn more about this exhibition, we visited the exhibition accompanied by Blanca de la Válgoma, curator in the Museo Sorolla.
