Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida @The Hispanic Society of America

If you like Sorolla's works, you must visit the Hispanic Society of America, on 155th Street, where you will see his masterpiece "Vision of Spain".  One step into the room and you are surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of Spain, so well depicted by the renown Spanish painter.  It is an uplifting and impressive experience.  I felt joy and energy when walking around, as if I was indeed vacationing in Spain.  The most remarkable aspect of these colorful, large, paintings, is the movement that flows in each painting, and unites all paintings into a one room composition.  The Hispanic museum hosts a couple of other figurative paintings by Sorolla, as well as work by a number of other Spanish masters. It is definitely worth the trip!
