Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida Three Sails, 1903, oil on canvas, 96.52 x 137.80cm, sold for a private collection in 2008. The Spanish painter, born in Valencia, excelled in the painting of portraits, landscapes, and monumental works of social and historical themes. His most typical works are characterized by a dexterous representation of the people and landscape under the sunlight of his native land. His best works, painted in the open air, vividly portray the sunny seacoast of Valencia. He drew his inspiration from the dazzling light on the waters by his home, and his beach scenes are marked by sharp contrasts of light and shade, brilliant colours, and vigorous brushstrokes.
