Valencia, Mediterranean and light of work · 1863 -1923
On the beaches of Valencia and Asturias, Sorolla unites fishermen, oxen, boats and tall sails in a painting where work becomes light in motion.
Joaquin Sorolla was born in Valencia in 1863 and died in Cercedilla in 1923. The Mediterranean Sea remains one of its great laboratories. He reduces it neither to landscape nor to anecdote: it is an environment of work, leisure and light. In the 1890s, his fishing scenes contributed to his international recognition. Return of fishing: towing the boat, painted in 1894, shows oxen pulling a boat on the beach while the inflated sail catches the sun. The collective effort is part of a broad composition where water, animal, sail and body share the same movement. Sorolla often paints on the pattern, with large brushes and a clear palette capable of noting atmospheric changes quickly. Sailing Couture, carried out in 1896, moves the activity towards a courtyard bathed in sunlight. The large white canvas occupies almost all the space and reflects light on the figures gathered around it. The boats from Asturias and Valencia show another connection between work and shore: hulls pulled on the sand, departure from the port, fishermen and children. Sorolla, however, prepares these apparent impressions through drawings, studies and carefully constructed compositions. Its white is never uniform; it receives blue, pink, ocher and purple depending on the shade and the environment. In an oil reproduction, the accuracy of these values colorful is essential to maintain shine without erasing the structure of gestures and sails. The selection "Boats, fishing and sails by Joaquin Sorolla" notably compares Return of fishing: hauling the boat - Joaquin Sorolla and La Couture de la voile - Joaquin Sorolla. His reading favors light.
At Sorolla, sailing is not only a maritime object: it becomes an immense surface of light around which human work is organized.
