Joaquin Sorolla: Fantastic art for every wall
The Spanish painter is not without reason among the greatest in his field. How he captured people, the sea and the light on the screen is unparalleled. If you order a canvas painting by the old master at weewado, you can go every day on a picture journey that makes you amaze with its wonderful colors and intense moods. The artist, born in Valencia in 1863, was a man of many facets. He was interested in the suffering of disabled children and hard-working people, as well as in commercial women, as well as the violence of the water, bathing by the sea or a walk on the sandy beach.
Bathing
The Spanish Impressionist repeatedly painted his own children. "Children in the sea" focuses on two little girls in back view who hold hands and carefully go into the water. With fantastic blue, pink and turquoise tones, the painter creates a moment in which the viewer seems to be there. The same feeling is with the painting "child on the beach". Here, a boy sitting in the shoreline turns to the viewer, his body lies in bright midday light. Shadows of feet and arms, like the receding water, set important dark accents. You can feel the joy of the boy, hear the splashing of the water and experience the warmth of this summer scenery while looking at it.
Silent moments of great power
Although Sorolla masterfully portrayed people from every perspective, he is also a master of silent subjects. If you are looking for a meditative picture, you will be happy about "pond". A Spanish courtyard with a water feature, a white wall that is reflected in the water and a view into the countryside: that's all you need to dive into southern Spain! Likewise, the Spaniard takes you on a trip to Venice. "Santa Maria della Salute" is the name of his painting, which, however, primarily shows Sorolla's fascination for water. The shimmering in fantastic greens and blues water surface receives additional depth through dark gondolas.

A picture of Sorolla is a highlight in every room. Let yourself be kidnapped by "Valencian fishermen" in the south of Spain. The colors, waves and infinity of the sea are just as inspiring as the attitude of the two concentrated fishermen. The canvas image is given additional accents by the inflated sail of the dark fishing boat. "Bath time", on the other hand, is dedicated to pleasure. The lightness of the girls fascinated, but also the delicate pink of the fragrant summer robe.
Already during his lifetime an idol
The artist had much success as a painter and could afford a good life. This self-image is reflected in "Portrait of Joaquin Sorolla". With brush in hand, the still young painter looks calmly and confidently at his hand-held painting and at the same time at the viewer. Its color palette is limited to white and darker shades, however, a yellow reflection in the table and light reflections set wonderful accents that make the work alive and timeless. A technique that the artist uses perfectly even in "Dog". Despite muted shades, this animal is very lively!
