Breakwater, San Sebastian, Sorolla

This painting depicts a summer evening (almost night) in the Basque city where residents gather to witness the majestic natural spectacle. The stormy and cloudy sky leads the artist to select from his palette a range of tones close to green and grey.

Sorolla demonstrates an extraordinary vision, capturing the slightest details and nuances, so that the painting shows, not only the image, but the entire atmosphere of the moment.
