Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida - And They Still Say Fish Are Expensive! [1894]

Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida - And They Still Say Fish Are Expensive! [1894], a photo by Gandalf's Gallery on Flickr.

Inside a ship, two aged fisherman with serious, worried expressions tend to a younger one who lies on the deck after an accident. A protective medal hanging from the younger one's torso is supposed to ward off seagoing misfortunes like the one he has just suffered. Various fishing implements and even some fish are visible around the figures. This subject stems from the artist's deep social concerns. The suffering of maritime workers ties in with other paintings Sorolla made around 1890. Here it is directly inspired by the view of that subject offered by writer Vicente Blasco Ibáñez in his novel Flor de Mayo.

The drawing is rigorous and descriptive, but the tradition of Velasquez appears in the use of colour, where ochres predominate. The composition is unbalanced toward one side, giving it great depth. And some aspects, such as the warm lighting coming from the hatchway, foreshadow the importance light will have in this artist's later works.

Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida - Boys on the Beach [1910]

Three nude boys lie face-down on the beach, enjoying the tail end of the tranquil waves. In this work, Sorolla combines two subjects that were objects of his attention on numerous occasions: children and the beach. These light-filled scenes definitively marked the esthetic that made this artist so popular. Approached with an exquisite analysis, colour is another of the characteristics of his outdoor scenes. Here, the blond hair of the boy in the centre of the composition stands out, and its colour mixes with that of the warm sand. The long, juicy brushstrokes build the painting with touches of great expressivity.
