If you want to study true artistry, you have to go back to the source. Long before Joaquín Sorolla became Spain’s undisputed "Master of Light," he was an orphaned teenager fighting to find his voice, working in the shadows of a local workshop.

Step behind the canvas to witness the intense, grueling discipline of his academy days, the pivotal early awards that shocked the art world, and the transformative travels through Rome and Paris that changed how he saw colour forever.
This book chronicles the crucial evolution of a genius—from his very first strokes in 1878 to his triumphant emergence as a master in 1890.
Uncover the untold story of the brushstrokes made before the world knew his name.
