Joaquín Sorolla (1863 - 1923) was a brilliant Spanish painter who was known for his dexterous brushwork and vibrant portrayal of light in his landscapes and portraits.
He painted with amazing haste yet beautiful harmony. He quoted:
"I could not paint at all if I had to paint slowly. Every effect is so transient, it must be rapidly painted.”
