Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SOROLLA Y BASTIDA, JOAQUIN (1863 ) , Spanish painter, was born in Valencia, and received his art education first in his native town and under F. Pradilla, and then in
Italy
  and Paris. His first striking success he achieved with " Another
Margaret
 ," which was awarded a gold
medal
  in Madrid and was bought for the St Louis Gallery. He soon rose to general fame and became the acknowledged head of the
modern
  Spanish school of
painting
 . His picture of the " Fishermen's Return " was much admired at the Paris Salon and was acquired by the state for the Luxembourg Museum. His exhibit at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900 won him a
medal
  of honour and his nomination as Knight of the Legion of Honour. A
special
  exhibition of his worksfigure subjects, landscapes and portraitsat the Georges Petit Gallery in Paris in 1906 eclipsed all his earlier successes and led to his appointment as Officer of the Legion of Honour. He is represented at the Berlin National Gallery, at the Venice and Madrid Museums, and in many private collections in Europe and America, especially in Buenos Aires. He painted portraits of King
Alphonso
  and Queen Victoria
Eugenie
  of Spain, and a magnificent portrait group of the family of Don Aurelian de Beruete. Three of his works were shown in London at the Spanish Exhibition, Guildhall, 19o1.
