Did you know?
Joaquín Sorolla was famously known as the 'Painter of Light' for his incredible ability to capture the shimmering, intense sun of the Spanish coast. He often completed these small, spontaneous oil sketches directly on the beach, capturing the fleeting movements and light effects before they vanished. These studies were rarely intended for public exhibition but provided him with the essential color and light information for his massive, celebrated canvases.
