About the piece

Painted in 1903, Joaquín Sorolla's 'The Young Amphibians' is a masterful example of the artist's ability to capture the fleeting effects of Mediterranean light. The scene depicts children frolicking in the shallow waves, rendered with the fluid, confident brushwork and vibrant palette that define Sorolla's celebrated beach scenes.
