Norton Museum, 1450 S Dixie Hwy, West Palm Beach, FL 33401
“Sorolla and the Sea” features 40 works by Joaquín Sorolla, highlighting his lifelong connection to Spain’s Mediterranean coastline, an exhibition presented by the Norton Museum of Art.
Painter Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida grew up on the Valencian coast of Spain studying the Mediterranean light, landscape, and modern life. Combining precision with unmixed colors and free brushwork, Sorolla’s work balances the Spanish tradition of Realism with the Modernist trends of the 20th century.
Sorolla and the Sea features approximately 40 works, on loan from The Hispanic Society of America Museum & Library for the first time in over 100 years.
