This publication includes the exhibition organised by the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in collaboration with the Sorolla Museum, dedicated to the influence of fashion on the work of Joaquín Sorolla. Curated by Eloy Martínez de la Pera, the exhibition brings together around seventy paintings from national and international museums and private collections, some of which have never been exhibited publicly, together with a selection of accessories and dresses from the period. A great lover of fashion, Sorolla is the perfect chronicler of the changes in trends and styles in clothing at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. His works bring together an evocative catalogue of dresses, jewellery and accessories, enhanced by his loose and vigorous strokes, and special attention is paid to the magnificent female portraits that the painter made between 1890 and 1920.
