The unmistakable style of Joaquín Sorolla, bathed by the Mediterranean sunlight and called Luminism, was born out of certain curiosity strongly connected to Impressionism. He explained it: "It would be impossible for me to paint slowly in the open air even if I wanted to. There is nothing immobile in what surrounds us. […] but even if everything was petrified and fixed, the sun would still move, giving things a constantly different aspect. Those far away mountains are not what they were a moment ago. You have to paint quickly. Too much is lost, ephemeral and cannot be found again!”
