The painting we are showing today is part of Visions of Spain, one of a series of 14 monumental paintings by Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla depicting the customs, Clothing and Traditions. The series was commissioned by Archie Huntington for the American Hispanic Society of New York. This is the main task of Sorolla’s career and will dominate his later years. Each painting celebrates the landscape and culture of the region, with a panorama of hordes of laborers and locals. Sorolla is immensely proud of his country’s rich culture and beautiful landscapes and is excited to create this large-scale series of paintings that will help promote the region’s values to a wider audience. in Seville. In Dance, we find a festive mood, with decorative elements hanging on the walls around this small courtyard. Classical arches are adorned with bright colors as the inhabitants below celebrate with dances. The entire scene is filled with women dressed in layers of traditional clothing with flowers in their hair. Several well-dressed men in suits can be seen on the right side of the frame, but this seems to be a moment for women to enjoy the festival, an opportunity to dress up and dance to local music that will no doubt be played at the time. In the foreground is a beautiful fountain, giving Sorolla the opportunity to bounce light around the frame and add extra architectural interest to this interesting piece.
