Sorolla femenino plural

Women are spotlighted in this exhibition organised by the Sorolla Museum and the Bancaja Foundation. It presents some of the countless works by Joaquín Sorolla which reflect everyday life and the stereotypes around it with the intention of posing a reflection on the different images that the painter offers: the mythical woman, the femme fatale, the innocent, the working woman, the mother, the aristocratic and bourgeois woman, the modern woman…

This entire oeuvre, which spotlights the artist’s particular vantage point, is accompanied in this catalogue with four essays which delve into those aspects of Sorolla’s oeuvre within the context of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the feminine identity was taking shape with the advent of new models of women.
