A heartfelt tribute to the remarkable life of Clotilde García del Castillo (Valencia, 1865 - Madrid, 1929), the beloved wife of the famous painter Joaquín Sorolla (Valencia, 1863 - Cercedilla, 1923). Illustrated with the beautiful paintings of Clotilde by her husband, this book is both a tribute and a memoir.
Clotilde was not just a muse, she was a mother, confidante, partner and driving force behind Joaquín's success. Through letters, photographs and artwork, her unwavering commitment to family, society and their shared business becomes clear, while she maintained an ardent love and faith in her husband.
From their enchanting beginnings to cherished family moments, adventurous travels and building a new home and studio in America, their journey was full of love and togetherness. But the story takes a poignant turn as we witness the end of an era with Joaquín's tragic death.
Yet amidst the grief, Clotilde's strength is revealed as she gracefully brings her family's life to a meaningful conclusion.
Clotilde's story embodies the dreams and aspirations of a 20th century Spanish woman, cherished and revered as a cornerstone by her husband.
