| JOAQUÍN SOROLLA |
|
|
We presented/displayed the best edition of the Valencian master Sorolla. His predisposition for the outdoors, the search for the momentary and the fleeting, the capture of the effects of light, the absence of black and small subtle brushstrokes are the most important characteristics of this impressionist painter.
In this work, as is habitual in our publishing house, we have carefully respected the reproduction of colour in his paintings, since therein lies the essence of light and the atmosphere so perfectly created by Sorolla.

The works are selected as prime examples to reflect the progression in styles of the 19th century schools:
from Neoclassicism and Romanticism to the various directions taken in the second half of the century, such as
Historical Painting and Realism.

It is impossible to comprehend Chambi’s works without acknowledging the fact that he lived and worked in Cuzco. He was closely tied to the impressive Andean landscape and its archaeological ruins, its racial and cultural mix and the progressive modernization of the city. Before settled in Cuzco, the personal relationships he forged with artists, painters, poets and musicians in Arequipa were also an important part of his professional training. Through them he nurtured his appreciation of art, overcoming the limitations of his school education.
