Orange Trees, Valencia

“Orange Trees, Valencia” by Joaquín Sorolla is a luminous celebration of Mediterranean nature and architecture. Painted in 1903, the piece captures a sunlit whitewashed wall surrounded by lush orange trees bursting with fruit. The scene evokes both the quiet intimacy of a garden and the vivid richness of the Valencian countryside, where Sorolla spent much of his life. His expressive brushwork and vibrant palette infuse the composition with warmth, texture, and the sensation of still summer air. It’s a deeply atmospheric work—tranquil, yet alive with color and scent.
