Joaquín Sorolla and The Blessed Age - Through the Master’s Eye to the Heart of Childhood

Can Art Change the World?

More Importantly, Can a Painting Change the Way a Society Treats its Most Vulnerable?

In early twentieth-century Spain, childhood was often a social afterthought, marred by difficult labour and systemic hardships. But Joaquín Sorolla saw something different. He saw a sacred window.

As art historian Karla Ingleton Darocas brilliantly notes, "For Sorolla, the canvas was never just a picture. It was a place to learn, where light and a mother’s care showed a society how to truly value its children for the first time."

Welcome to the study guide, Joaquín Sorolla and The Blessed Age - Through the Master’s Eye to the Heart of Childhood. Over forty-four immersive, full-colour pages, this guide brings you face-to-face with Sorolla’s most intimate and public masterpieces in rich, high-resolution.
