More about this artwork
Dive into the vibrant and sunlit world of Joaquín Sorolla with the masterpiece "The Wounded Foot." Painted in 1909, this artwork captures a tender moment on the bustling shores of Valencia, a scene where the warmth of the sun and the cool embrace of the sea mingle in harmony.In this painting, the central figures—a young boy and girl—engage in a gentle moment of care. The boy, seated and with a pained expression, examines his foot, while the girl, donning a wide-brimmed straw hat, delicately assists him, her expression one of concern. Their interaction unfolds in the shallow waters of the beach, where other beachgoers splash and swim, adding a lively backdrop to this intimate scene.Sorolla's expert use of light breathes life into the water and figures, encapsulating the shimmering effects of sunlight on the sea’s surface. His brushstrokes convey the movement of water and the youthful energy surrounding the tranquil central event."The Wounded Foot" not only reflects Sorolla's skill in portraying light and water but also his ability to capture human emotion and everyday moments.
