Review:



The house of Joanquin Sorolla is a calming place to visit on a hot Madrid day. It offers respite
from the art overload effect of other museums in Madrid. There is a little garden with a long pond
and fountain, a tiled affair amongst shrubs. He is not a wonderful painter but the many portraits of
his wife dotted around the house are quite touching. There are a few odd bits of majolica pottery,
carpets, and also a Rodin sculpture.  Worth a visit.
