Joaquin Sorolla

Posted on December 8, 2010 in News

From above, reflected in the water, is the source itself, by the reflection of white bath sheet. White is not such but is full of colors: yellow, blue, lavender, aqua. Its composition follows a vertical where the figures, almost life-size, occupying almost the entire surface of the painting. She occupies the central axis, the center of our attention. But the youth is cutting just showing the face that almost looks out of the top corner. It is a work full of sweetness and sensuality.

Sorolla masterfully captures the sympathy and affection shown by young people in their gestures. If we focus on the rest of the guys can see the bewilderment of the young by failing to fasten the button while the young rascal tries to cover her friend but he covers his face, not looking the other way, it seems more want to peek. Sorolla manages to convey the relationship with the boys with great naturalness and freshness. The work is a hymn to the sun, but so is youth. The drawing of two figures (in the three compositions) is solid, firm, determined, and the color of the canvas is clear.

Sorolla harmoniously combines a series of spots (for the shadows, the foam of the waves) with the realization that they are built strong with the figures. It is a work of great size, but is a monumental work. Leaving the bath combines many features of the work of Sorolla, who joined the brave treatment bathroom of the two teenagers and acquired skill not only in the representation of the figures, but in the representation of solar flares on the objects and the fine sand of the beach and the sea, make this book one of the most relevant and representative of the whole painting by Sorolla. Joaquin Sorolla y Bastille was an exceptional genius. Early in his career he spent economically distressed by the poor condition of his family (orphan a few years). But he quickly began to make money with their canvases. And won a lot. It was a very prolific painter (more than two thousand one hundred seventy-five paintings and many other drawings) and received more than sixty-eight awards and accolades.
