About the piece

Painted in 1909, this iconic work by Joaquín Sorolla is a celebration of light and movement on the Valencian coast. The artist's masterful impressionist technique captures the shimmering reflections of the sea and the powerful form of the white horse, embodying the radiant, sun-soaked atmosphere for which the 'Painter of Light' is renowned.
