Jávea, a coastal village in Alicante province in eastern Spain, is renowned for its sea and rock formations which produce spectacular chromatic contrasts. Joaquín Sorolla first visited Jávea two years before the execution of Algarrobo (The Carob Tree) and was overcome by the beauty of the location. It is understood that Sorolla's visits to Jávea were largely responsible for the development of the artist’s subsequent command of color and the effects of sunlight on water.
On this first visit to the area in 1896, Sorolla wrote to his wife Clothide, ‘this Javea has everything I desire and more, if you could see what I have in front of my little house you couldn’t find words to praise it. I am left speechless by the emotion that still consumes me' (Quoted in B. Pons-Sorolla, Joaquín Sorolla, London, 2005, p. 102). It is not surprising that the artist would return to the area in 1898, this time with his wife and three children. The importance of the presence of Sorolla’s family on this visit cannot be stressed enough. To the artist, his family was more important than even painting itself and he was unhappy when separated from them. The sense of tranquility and harmony that pervades the works from this trip, as well as the innovative progress made in the artist’s artistic development, is most certainly due to this peace achieved in the presence of Sorolla’s wife and children.
As hallway wall art, the piece pairs naturally with other impressionist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
Trained artists work in stages — underpainting, mid-tones, highlights, and detail — using traditional oils on canvas. Because nothing is printed, every hand painted oil painting has its own subtle texture and depth.
For hallway wall art that does not feel generic, a painted landscape canvas is hard to beat. It is a popular landscape oil painting pick for new homeowners and a durable alternative to seasonal poster art.
In short: Algarrobo (The Carob Tree) by Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida - Joaquin Sorolla - Canvas Wall Art combines an impressionist composition, a 100% hand painted oil painting process, and the flexibility of made-to-order canvas sizes — a dependable choice for landscape oil painting and hallway wall art.
