Joaquín Sorolla Y Bastida (1863-1923), Follower Of - "mother" (the Painter's Wife And Daughter)

- Oil on canvas. - In “Mother,” Joaquín Sorolla reaches one of his most exquisite peaks in the representation of intimacy and light. The scene, of overwhelming delicacy, immerses us in the calm of a sacred moment: a mother lying down, wrapped in a snowy cloth, holds her newborn son in an act of absolute tenderness. The sublime nature of this work lies in the mastery with which Sorolla transfigures the everyday into a luminous epiphany. His brush, endowed with a singular virtuosity, decomposes the light into an infinite spectrum of whites: the floating sheet, the ethereal nightgown, the delicate gauze that covers the child... Everything in the composition is a symphony of ivory and silvery nuances, where the shadow is diluted in the subtlety of the reflections. The vaporous texture of the fabrics blends with the smooth skin of the infant, obtaining a chiaroscuro that is not governed by the opposition of light and shadow, but by a tonal vibration that pulses with life itself. Sorolla, master of Mediterranean light, demonstrates here his ability to sculpt the atmosphere through the simple modulation of color. The fluid brushstroke, loose but precise, models the volumes with a spontaneity that contains the truth of what has been experienced. There is no artifice, no rhetoric: only the purity of a moment stopped in time, bathed in the light of the most authentic emotion. - Dimensions of the unframed image: 92 x 60 cm / 107 x 75 cm with magnificent frame. - Galerie Montbaron includes a technical sheet drawn up by a qualified art historian with all its lots.
