From the museum's web site: "La exposición pretende ofrecer un retrato fotográfico de Joaquín Sorolla y de su universo creativo y personal. Dada su condición de gran artista y gloria nacional, Sorolla fue siempre objetivo de los fotógrafos, algunos de ellos miembros de su círculo familiar y afectivo, como Antonio García, Christian Franzen, Campúa, Gertrude Kasëbier o González Ragel, que le retrataron en plena faena, en los ámbitos familiares y en los lances más relevantes de su vida. De alguna manera, esta exposición muestra también la revolución experimentada en el campo del retrato y del reportaje fotográfico español, en el tránsito del siglo XIX al XX. = The exhibition aims to offer a photographic portrait of Joaquin Sorolla and his creative and personal universe. Given his status as a great artist and national glory, Sorolla was always the target of the photographers, some of them members of his family and affective circle, such as Antonio García, Christian Franzen, Campúa, Gertrude Kasëbier or Gonzalez Ragel, who portrayed him in full play , in the family areas and in the most relevant sets of his life. In a way, this exhibition also shows the revolution experienced in the field of portraiture and Spanish photographic reporting, in the transition from the nineteenth to the twentieth century.
