SOROLLA

HOW many Spanish Impressionist painters can you name? Quite. As a result of the focus upon France (admittedly understandable), we have missed out on Joaquin Sorolla. As shown by Maria Painting In El Pardo (pictured), he was a master of light, colour and brushwork more varied than most of his French contemporaries. Sheer delight.
