Exhibition “Sorolla, one hundred years of modernity”

The Museo Sorolla will remain closed for major refurbishment, but that does not mean Madrid residents will be without the Valencian artist’s works. The Galería de las Colecciones Reales has opened a themed exhibition paying homage to the genius of light and colour. The unique experience will be a work believed lost and not seen since 1890.

Boulevard de París is regarded as a window onto urban Paris in the 19th century. The canvas depicts a typical café and street scenes from the city. Also unique will be the painting Giralda, which has not been exhibited since the artist’s death. The portrait of the Mexican Tiflinga Esperanza Iris, El arco y la puerta de Santa María, Baño de niños and Sol de tarde will also be exhibited in Spain for the first time.

In total, around 77 works by the artist from various museums, foundations and private collections will be exhibited.
