Sorolla Museum

This guide to the Sorolla Museum in Madrid centers on the house and garden the painter Joaquín Sorolla designed himself a decade before his death, with fountains, blue tiles and orange trees he painted again and again as the self-styled painter of light. It follows him to a spring morning in 1920, mid-brushstroke in that same garden, and to the years afterward when his wife Clotilde kept the house untouched. Notice which rooms still hold his easels and brushes exactly where he left them.
