Summary:

Valencian master Joaquín Sorolla's Impressionist paintings depict some of the most beautiful gardens and architecture in Spain. The paintings collected in this book are among the best-loved examples of Joaquín Sorolla's work, and are a window into the Spanish painter's quest to capture the intimate and meditative essence of a garden. The authors explore Sorolla's fascination with gardens while spotlighting the major works he completed in this genre in the context of his life and career. -- Adapted from dust jacket.
