About the piece

Painted in 1909, this vibrant oil study by Joaquín Sorolla captures the shimmering reflections of the Alhambra's Hall of the Ambassadors. Known as a 'master of light,' Sorolla uses energetic, thick brushstrokes and a warm palette of ochre and pink against a brilliant blue sky to evoke the heat and brilliance of the Spanish sun.
