Joaquín Sorolla, 1863 - 1923, SPANISH
RETURN WITH THE CATCH, c. 1908
Oil on canvas
25.5 by 37.5cm., 10 by 14½in.
Private Collection
Painted on El Cabañal beach, Valencia, in 1908, the present work takes up a theme that preoccupied Sorolla like no other: returning fishermen attended by their wives and daughters carrying baskets in which to carry to market the day's catch. The subject had first attracted Sorolla in the early 1890s when he painted his large scale canvas La Vuelta de la pesca in 1894, and exhibited it to great acclaim at the Paris Salon of 1895 (bought by the French State, and now in the Musée d'Orsay). The present work, painted in situ, evokes the bustling atmosphere of the fishing community on the Valencian beach. More on this painting
Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (27
February 1863 – 10 August 1923) was a
Spanish painter. Sorolla excelled in the painting of portraits, landscapes, and
monumental works of social and historical themes. His most typical works are
characterized by a dexterous representation of the people and landscape under
the sunlight of his native land. More
