Barcelona | 14/05/2009 - 03/05/2009 Sorolla. A View of Spain. The Hispanic Society of America Collection

Travelling exhibition bringing together the series of 14 panels painted by the Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923) to decorate the library of this New York-based American institution. This is the first time all of these pieces are presented outside the headquarters for which the group of paintings was designed, and which have been restored for the occasion. This exhibition is complemented by about 50 drawings, belonging to the collections of the Museo Sorolla in Madrid and the Hispanic Society of America, which shows us the complex process of creating the large painted panels. The art dealer and scholar Archer Milton Huntington (1870-1955), who in 1904 founded the Hispanic Society of America, where he built up his important collection of Spanish art, commissioned Sorolla to do this decoration in 1911. The following year the painter travelled round Spain collecting images of the different types of landscape in Spain. In 1912, however, he began paint!
ing the immense panels directly from life, a task he was not to finish until 1919 and which meant a considerable effort on his part.
