MNAC Sorolla exhibition

One of the temporary exhibitions on at the MNAC until May is the Sorolla Hispanic Society of America collection featuring all 14 enormous canvases commissioned by the philanthropist Archer Milton Huntington in 1911 to decorate the library.
Sorolla spent six years travelling all over Spain to capture traditional scenes and events with his usual attention to detail and spectacular use of light and colour. Since this is a free exhibition there is no excuse not going to see some of the best paintings of Spanish life circa 1900's - you will not regret it!
