Sull’opera
Con le parole del museo — in spagnolo
En primer plano, figura de cuerpo entero vista de espaldas, ligeramente de perfil, con el cuerpo girado. Tiene la pierna izquierda avanzada, creando así mayor ángulo de apoyo, ya que entre las manos tiene una especie de pértiga con la que estaría haciendo fuerza o algún tipo de trabajo. Tras esta figura, otra, en la misma postura pero de frente a nosotros y también con el mismo tipo de objeto alargado entre las manos. Por el resto de dibujos que encontramos en el cuadernillo y la fecha, podría tratarse de dos gondoleros venecianos.

Nel frattempo, nella vita di Joaquín Sorolla
Tutta la vita1885
A four-year grant to study in Rome
Having completed his military service, the twenty-two-year-old Sorolla received a grant from the Spanish Academy in Rome for four years of study in Italy. In Rome he was welcomed by the academy’s director, Francisco Pradilla, in whose example the young painter found stability.
1885
Paris: his first encounter with modern painting
A long stay in Paris gave him his first exposure to modern painting; he was especially struck by exhibitions of Jules Bastien-Lepage and Adolph von Menzel. Back in Rome he studied with José Benlliure, Emilio Sala and José Villegas Cordero.
1888
Returns to Valencia to marry Clotilde
Sorolla returned to Valencia to marry Clotilde García del Castillo; by 1895 they had three children — María, Joaquín and Elena.
