Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida Biography
Spanish Impressionist painter
born 1863 - died 1923
Born in: Valencia (Spain).
Died in: Madrid (Spain)

Teacher of: José Bermejo Sobera (1879-), Ethel L. Coe (1878-1938) from 1911 to 1913, Francisco Merenciano Puchol (1883-)

Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (1863 - 1923), Spanish painter, was born in Valencia, and received his art education first in his native town and under F Pradilla, and then in Italy and Paris.

The first striking success Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida achieved with "Another Margaret," which was awarded a gold medal in Madrid and was bought for the St Louis Gallery. He soon rose to general fame and became the acknowledged head of the modern Spanish school of painting. Joaquín Sorolla painting of the "Fishermen’s Return" was much admired at the Paris Salon and was acquired by the state for the Luxembourg Museum.

His exhibit at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900 won him a medal of honour and his nomination as Knight of the Legion of Honour. A special exhibition of Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida paintings - figure subjects, landscapes and portraits--at the Georges Petit Gallery in Paris in 1906 eclipsed all his earlier successes and led to his appointment as Officer of the Legion of Honour.

Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida is represented at the Berlin National Gallery, at the Venice and Madrid Museums, and in many private collections in Europe and America, especially in Buenos Aires. Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida painted portraits of King Alphonso and Queen Victoria Eugénie of Spain, and a magnificent portrait group of the family of Don Aurelian de Beruete. Three of Joaquín Sorolla paintings were shown in London at the Spanish Exhibition, Guildhall, 1901.

The painter began to study painting at the age of fifteen in his native Valencia, Spain. At the age of eighteen, Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida went to Madrid, where he copied Old Master paintings in the Museo del Prado. Four years later, Sorolla won a grant to study painting in Rome; there Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida developed a distinct ability for depicting the effects of light.

When he returned to Madrid, Joaquín Sorolla paintings were in great demand. The Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida paintings exhibited at the 1901 Exposition Universally in Paris were very well received.

Contributing to his international fame, the Hispanic Society of America commissioned him to paint decorative scenes for its library in New York City in 1911. J. Paul Getty purchased ten of his Impressionist beach scenes at auction in 1933. Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida later explained, "One could hardly imagine greater contrasts than those between a Van Goyen and a Sorolla--but, as I say, I bought what I liked." Sorolla's widow left a large collection of Joaquín Sorolla paintings to the people of Spain. The collection is now a museum, the Museo Sorolla, in the artist's house in Madrid.
