An audacious look into one of the greatest Spanish painters and his time. Joaqu?n Sorolla's is one of the most popular works in the history of Spanish art. Paradoxically, little is known of his fascinating life. Wanted by every social and intellectual elite in Europe and the American continent, he was one of the greatest artists of his time, and triumphed both in the Paris halls and the burgeoning New York. He lived in the fascinating world at the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with modernity in development and the arrival of magnificent inventions. Sorolla experienced the revelry of the Belle ?poque, a Madrid of coteries and zarzuela, and the tribulations of the '98 Spanish literary generation, which judged the "joie de vivre"in his paintings. Tireless worker, discreet, ambitious, and demanding of himself, his greatest desire was to paint all day and be with his family. This is the story of a successful man who would have preferred an unremarkable life. An extraordinary life with a miserable ending. How was his character forged? Where did his gift come from? How was the Spain he saw and painted in his pictures? How did he manage to keep the love for his wife kindling since their teenage years? C?sar Su?rez combines biography, essay, and fiction in a book that portrays a bold vision of Joaqu?n Sorolla and his time. A walk through scenes from the artist's life that might serve as inspiration for our own.
