Join Chris Riopelle, The Neil Westreich Curator of Post 1800 Paintings and curator of ‘Sorolla: Spanish Master of Light’ to find out more about the exhibition.

‘Sorolla: Spanish Master of Light’
18 March – 7 July 2019

The first UK exhibition of Spain's Impressionist, Sorolla, in over a century.

Known as the 'master of light' for his iridescent canvases, this is a rare opportunity to see the most complete exhibition of Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida's (1863–1923) paintings outside Spain.
From the vivid seascapes, garden views, and bather scenes for which he is most renowned, to portraits, landscapes and genre scenes of Spanish life, the exhibition features 60 works spanning Sorolla's career – many of which are travelling from private collections and from afar.
