Joaquin Sorolla Museum

Joaquin Sorolla was a great Spanish impressionist painter. He was born in Valencia in 1863. His painting is characterized by the effective use of light and color. His residence is now a museum which includes a lovely garden. When I visited this beautiful place, it reminded me somewhat of our own McNay Museum in San Antonio. (See link Museo Sorolla)
