The Santa Clara Project

When Joaquín Sorolla exhibited in London in 1908 at the Grafton Galleries, critics struggled to put into words what they were seeing…and ended up saying this:

“Sorolla does not paint objects, he paints light itself; the brush seems charged with sunlight.”

“His brush does not merely represent light, it radiates it.”

“The sun seems to have been caught and spread across the canvas with a brush.”
