Sorolla paints the portrait as a quick but decisive encounter: face, hand and clothing emerge with a free touch, attuned to personality and light.
Joaquin Sorolla became one of the most sought-after portrait painters of his time alongside his beach scenes. His outdoor virtuosity directly nourishes this genre: he works quickly, maintains the freshness of the first glance and often leaves the background open so that the model breathes. Antonio Machado y Ruiz appears with the serious sobriety of the poet of the 1898 generation. Antonio Munoz Degrain, painter and former teacher of Sorolla, receives a portrait where professional friendship counts as much as status. Alfonsoz XIII, King of Spain, imposes another requirement: uniting protocol, resemblance and naturalness without freezing the figure in the pageantry. Alejandro Pidal y Mon embodies life politics and intellectual of Madrid. Sorolla also painted his wife Clotilde, his children, American writers, scientists, collectors and sponsors. His international stays, particularly in the United States from 1909, further expanded this clientele. The blacks of the mantilla, the whites of a shirt and the skin tones are constructed by juxtaposed colors rather than by laborious modeling. A hand placed, a slightly turned bust or a direct gaze are enough to translate the energy of the model. A posed hand, a slightly turned bust or a direct gaze is enough to translate the energy of the model. A portrait at Sorolla is therefore not the opposite of the beach: it is based on the same confidence in light, gesture and moment. The selection "Portraits of Joaquin" Sorolla" notably compares Antonio Machado y Ruiz and Antonio Munoz Degrain. His reading favors composition.
Sorolla does not ask the model to become immobile: he seeks the moment when a posture, a look and a light finally coincide.
