Like Claude Monet s celebrated plein air landscapes at Giverny, the
series collected in this book represents among the best-loved
examples of Joaquin Sorolla s (1863-1923) work, and a window into
the Spanish painter s quest to capture the essence of a garden.
Described by Monet as the master of light, Sorolla and his
landscapes, formal portraits, and historically themed canvases drew
comparisons to contemporary American painter John Singer Sargent.
Sorolla had achieved renown on both sides of the Atlantic for grand
scenes of Spanish life when he began a personal series of garden
works, presented completely for the first time in this publication.
Painted at the palaces of La Granja and the Alcazar in Seville, the
Alhambra and Generalife in Granada, and at the painter s home in
Madrid, these Impressionist works allowed Sorolla to apply his
signature loose brushwork and training as a photographer s lighting
assistant to gardens and the sculptures, architecture, and sitters
that frame and animate them. Sorolla depicted reflections in
fountains and pools, the sunlight dappling his glamorous sitters,
sprays of orange blossoms, and shaded blue-and-white tile as he
endeavoured to render the radiant peace of a summer afternoon.
