Paintings

Sorolla’s paintings comprise the largest and most representative part of the collection. There are large and medium-size pieces, as well as a great number of small ones which Sorolla called “colour notes” and painted for practice or fun.

Sorolla worked in all genres, but particularly everyday life scenes, of which his beach scenes – which brought him the most fame - stand out.

The painting collection is comprised of 1,294 pieces by Sorolla. The entire collection has been photographed and catalogued, and assigned inventory numbers from 00001 to 01276, 01342-01350, 01427, 01428, 01431-1441. All of these are featured in the online catalogue.

There are also 164 paintings by other artists, such as Aureliano de Beruete, Anders Zorn and Martín Rico Ortega, which are also featured in the online catalogue.
