Sorolla (English spelling) Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida

Japanese: ソローリャ（英語表記）Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida

1863‐1923
Spanish painter. Born in Valencia. After graduating from art school in his hometown, he traveled to France and Italy, where he achieved success with historical painting. After winning the Grand Prix at the Paris International Exhibition in 1900, he began to express the light of the Mediterranean Sea with bright, warm colors and large, free-flowing brushstrokes, and became a painter of the "joy of water" that sparkles in light, with fishermen and children on the beach as his subjects. His "Fire" series, "Provinces of Spain," is on display at the Hispanic Society of New York. [Keizo Kamiyoshi]
