Sorolla

Joaquin Sorrolla (1863-1923) is a famous Spanish painter that lived in Madrid. Our group visited his house which is now a museum with many of his paintings. He was a wonderful artist and his house was beautiful. He decorated the entire thing and in the dinning room a painted a mural on the wall. The still contains many of the origanl furnishings. One time when he went to New York he brought back authentic Tiffany chandeliers that are still in the house. I could only imagine what it would have been like to live in that wonderful house. I have studied about him in a few classes and saw his works in books. It was cool to see the real things.
