Sorolla, new record |

The painter Joaquin Sorolla today set a new auction record that has taken place in the room Sotheby’s in London. His work ‘Valencian Fishermen “was sold for 3,737,250 pounds (4.6 million euros) to a European foundation. Previous Elrécord for a work of Joaquín Sorolla was established in 2003 with the sale of “Bath Time” by 3,701,600 pounds.

It’s the first time I went to auction this priate, that once was in the collection of the Nationalgalerie in Berlin. Has exceeded its estimated price, which ranged between 1.26 million and 1.89 million euros. Sorolla painted this masterpiece in 1895 on the beach in his native Valencia. This is a key work in producciónque gave him a huge international recognition in that period of artistic maturity. “Fishermen Valencia” is a tribute to the work of fishermen in their homeland, which captures with great skill the sun reflecting off the sea foam and the contrast of light and shadow around the boat and fishermen.
