This is a specialized catalog that fulfills its function of inventorying and disseminating a significant part of the Sorolla Museum's heritage. The work, which is academic in nature, is of great value for the study of sculpture and for contextualizing the painter's production. Its chronological approach, which ranges from Antiquity to his own time, offers an enriching perspective. It is a recommended publication for those interested in Spanish art, museology, and the figure of Sorolla from a less-explored angle.
