About the piece
Painted in 1901, Joaquín Sorolla's 'Preparation of Raisins' showcases the artist's celebrated mastery of Mediterranean light. The scene depicts workers in a shaded courtyard surrounded by baskets of lush green grapes, with vibrant patches of sunlight breaking through to illuminate the textures of the harvest.
