SOROLLA, A HUNDRED YEARS OF MODERNITY

The Royal Collections Gallery will host the exhibition from October 17, 2024, to February 16, 2025. Organized by Patrimonio Nacional and Light Art Exhibitions, in collaboration with the Museo Sorolla and the Fundación Museo Sorolla, this exhibition celebrates the work of Joaquín Sorolla on the centenary of his passing.

“Sorolla, a hundred years of modernity” brings together 77 paintings representing all phases of the artist’s production and his main themes. Many of these are among his most important and highest quality works, with some rarely or never seen before in Spain. The Museo Sorolla, which will temporarily close for renovation in October, will move its most iconic works to this exhibition.

The works come from institutions holding the finest collections of the painter, including the Museo Sorolla and the Fundación Museo Sorolla, the Hispanic Society of America, the Museo del Prado, the Musée d’Orsay, as well as private national and international collections, including some from the United States and Mexico.

The exhibition, curated by Blanca Pons-Sorolla, Consuelo Luca de Tena, and Enrique Varela Agüí, highlights the relevance and modernity of Sorolla’s work, demonstrating its continued significance a hundred years after his death.
