Sorolla, A vision of Spain
The exhibition, Sorolla: A visión of Spain, opens on November 7th at the Centro Cultural Bancaja. The exhibit will show for the first time in Spain 14 works painted by the Valencian artist for the Hispanic Society of America.
The 14 legendary paintings commissioned from the artist by the Hispanic Society of New York will be on display in the Bancaja Foundation from November 7th until March 31st 2008. The 14 canvases depict popular life and customs in Spain at the beginning of the 20th century where scenes from Santa Marinera Holy Week in Valencia, tuna fishing at Ayamonte and the Elche palm grove can be seen.
The artist painted these impressive mural paintings between 1912 and 1919. The murals have since covered the walls of the Hispanic Society of America in New York and now visit Spain in what is one of the most relevant cultural events of the year.
The exhibit includes a photography section showing the restoration process for Sorolla's work, together with an explanation of the history of the Hispanic Society.
