Monte Ulía, San Sebastián
1917
Joaquín Sorolla captures the blinding Mediterranean light in this vibrant seascape, painting the deep blue waters of San Sebastián with thick, energetic brushstrokes. The white cliffs of Monte Ulía glow under the sun, contrasting sharply with the rich greens and browns of the hillside above. Created in 1917, this piece is a perfect example of Sorolla's mastery of Luminism, a style obsessed with capturing the fleeting effects of sunlight. You can almost feel the heat radiating off the canvas and hear the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore.
