Description
The work "End of the day - Jávea - 1900" by Joaquín Sorolla is a brilliant example of the domain of the master Spanish in the capture of light and the fleeting moment. In this painting, Sorolla manages to transform a simple moment of the day into an intense and evocative visual experience. The scene portrays three fishermen in the sea, who return home at the end of their workday. The figures, when observed in context, symbolize the intimate connection between man and the sea, permeated by the light of sunset.
The composition of the work is remarkable for its balance and fluidity. The arrangement of the characters and the use of space invite the viewer to immerse themselves in the scene. The sea, which extends to the fishermen, becomes a protagonist in itself, reflecting the shades of the sky at sunset. Sorolla uses a rich palette of yellow, orange and blue colors that evoke the warmth of evening light, thus capturing the essence of a day that comes to an end.
Fishermen are presented naturalistly, with careful attention to the details of their clothes and the texture of their bodies. This honest representation of everyday life reflects the deep respect of Sorolla for the work and culture of his homeland. Each figure seems to be in perfect synergy with the environment, in a moment of pause before the night falls. The reflexes of water and soft waves create a dynamism that suggests movement, in contrast to the stillness of the light that stains the scene.
It is important to underline Sorolla's interest in light. In this work, light seems to have its own life, interacting with the elements of work and nature. This approach to the emotional effect of light is a repeated feature on his work and a distinctive feature of the impressionist movement. Sorolla not only records the appearance of the world, but also transmits its atmosphere.
The pictorial sorolla technique, characterized by loose and high vibration brushstrokes, allows light to shine through painting, creating an almost three -dimensional effect that invites contemplation. The work does not present a marked horizon, which blurns the line between the sea and the sky, generating a symbolic space that speaks of the infinity and the connection of the human being with nature.
"End of the day - Jávea - 1900" is not just a representation of a daily moment; He goes further, inviting the viewer to reflect on the simplicity of life, the beauty of the ephemeral and harmony between man and his surroundings. This work adds to the series of landscapes and beach scenes that made Sorolla famous and continue to resonate in the field of contemporary art, making it an icon of Spanish modernism and a master indisputable of light and color.
