He painted La Corniche near Monaco that year, working fast to catch cliffs dropping straight into blue water. Two decades later, Joaquín Sorolla stood on rocks near a Biarritz lighthouse doing the same thing in his own way, letting sun bounce off stone until the whole canvas seemed to glow from within. Between them, John Singer Sargent painted boats adrift in coastal light, and Miguel Puig, working in 2019, found that same rhythm on the island of Arousa.

Six artists, four countries, over a century apart. What holds them together is not subject but light itself: that specific, sun-bleached clarity that only happens near water, where shadows go soft and color gets loud.

Hang this where morning light already lands, and the room slows down to match it. It reads like a terrace at 7am, coffee still warm, the sea somewhere just past the frame.
