TIFFANY LAMP AT SOROLLA MUSEUM (2017)

            This modernist lamp by Tiffany Studios is one of the most beautiful pieces in a hall of the Sorolla Museum in Madrid. It was commissioned by the painter Sorolla himself, during his second trip to the United States in 1911, and matches with those of the pre-dining room and dining room.

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 bright sunlight of Spain and sunlit water.

LEGACY: Sorolla's influence on some other Spanish painters, such as Alberto Pla y Rubio and Julio Romero de Torres, was so noted that they are described as "sorollista."

After his death, Sorolla's widow, Clotilde García del Castillo, left many of his paintings to the Spanish public. The paintings eventually formed the collection that is now known as the Museo Sorolla, which was the artist's house in Madrid. The museum opened in 1932.

Sorolla's work is represented in museums throughout Spain, Europe, America, and in many private collections in Europe and America. In 1933, J. Paul Getty purchased ten Impressionist beach scenes made by Sorolla, several of which are now housed in the J. Paul Getty Museum.

In 1960, "Sorolla, el pintor de la luz" ("Sorolla, the painter of the light"), a short documentary written and directed by Manuel Domínguez was presented at the Cannes Film Festival.

The Spanish National Dance Company honored the painter's The Provinces of Spain by producing a ballet Sorolla based on the paintings.

Valencia high-speed railway station has been named after Sorolla. (Source: Wikipedia)

Esta lámpara modernista de los Estudios Tiffany es una de las piezas más bellas de una sala del Museo Sorolla de Madrid. Fue encargada por el propio pintor Sorolla, durante su segundo viaje a Estados Unidos en 1911, y hace juego con las del precomedor y el comedor.

Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (27 de febrero de 1863 - 10 de agosto de 1923) fue un pintor español. Sorolla destacó en la pintura de retratos, paisajes y obras monumentales de temática social e histórica. Sus obras más típicas se caracterizan por una hábil representación de la gente y el paisaje bajo la brillante luz del sol de España y el agua iluminada por el sol.

LEGADO: La influencia de Sorolla en otros pintores españoles, como Alberto Pla y Rubio y Julio Romero de Torres, fue tan notable que se les califica de "sorollistas".

Tras su muerte, la viuda de Sorolla, Clotilde García del Castillo, legó muchos de sus cuadros al público español. Los cuadros acabaron formando la colección que hoy se conoce como Museo Sorolla, que fue la casa del artista en Madrid. El museo se inauguró en 1932.

La obra de Sorolla está representada en museos de toda España, Europa, América y en muchas colecciones privadas de Europa y América. En 1933, J. Paul Getty adquirió diez escenas de playa impresionistas realizadas por Sorolla, varias de las cuales se encuentran ahora en el Museo J. Paul Getty.

En 1960 se presentó en el Festival de Cannes "Sorolla, el pintor de la luz", un corto documental escrito y dirigido por Manuel Domínguez.

La Compañía Nacional de Danza de España rindió homenaje a Las Provincias de España del pintor produciendo un ballet Sorolla basado en los cuadros.
