SOROLLA BY GABRIELE FINALDI
(National Gallery Publishing £30)
THE UK’s first exhibition in over a century of Spanish Impressionist painter Sorolla opened at the National Gallery on Monday. This fabulous companion book showcases the artist’s sumptuous paintings and traces his career, from his early austere and earnest portraits to his later bold and colourful seascapes that earned him the nickname ‘the Spanish Master of Light’. Filled with more than 60 paintings, this book is perfect for anyone who can’t make it to the National Gallery, and would rather soak up the beauty from the comfort of their own sofa.
