After the bath, 1917-1918, Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923) In After the Bath, two figures outside the experience of painting translate Sorolla into the fullness of his artistic gifts. The anonymity of the models does not contradict the character of the interpretation, the phrase extends to all the people of the Mediterranean coasts, among whom they float indistinctly: life in the open air, and the essence of Mediterranean leisure is represented in the image. The scene results from a balance between light and form. The grace of the scene is found in the interaction between the characters, serene and calm, oblivious to the external action. Sorolla adopts a point of view different from that of other beach painters and highlights the atmosphere of tranquility, the feeling of freedom, and the incomparable beauty of a moment in life. Sorolla portrays the characters with a naturalness and a technique inspired by French Impressionism, translated into delicate pastel tones.
