Celebrated as a painter of light and hailed as a modern of the moderns by famed collector Duncan Phillips, Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923) was one of the most successful artists of his time. Formed in his native Valencia, Madrid and Rome, Sorolla soon achieved the recognition of artists with related languages such as John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) or Anders Zorn (1860-1920), although international success would be achieved after his acclaimed exhibitions in London (1908), New York (1909) and Chicago (1911).
