Il piccolo principe
1888
Future King Alfonso XIII of Spain sits proudly atop a grey horse in this charming 1888 hunting scene by Joaquín Sorolla. Dressed in colorful traditional attire, the young prince is surrounded by a lively pack of eager hunting dogs and a few curious onlookers in a lush, wooded landscape. This piece highlights Sorolla's early talent for capturing light and movement, foreshadowing his later fame as a master of Luminism. It offers a rare, playful glimpse into royal childhood, far removed from the stiff, formal portraits typically associated with monarchy.
