SOROLLA

Sending pictures to major exhibitions across Europe, Sorolla depicted peasants, fishermen, and sail-makers eking out meager existenc es/ young women forced into prostitution/ and naked orphans. As Sorolla found a wealthy clientele toward the turn of the century, hi s focus turned to sun-drenched scenes of leisure and elegant sociability: beautiful women stroll in fashionable resorts and children gambol on the seashore.
