Joaqu n Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever.
Sorolla clearly did not support independentism and sponging on the rest of Spain, see also author\'s Joaqu n Sorolla Painter ISBN 9781647868277..
In 1910 Joaqu n Sorolla painted scathing criticism of the Basque mentality especially with paintings of drunkards.
This man appears again in Aldeanos leoneses also from 1907.
The next time wine featured in Joaqu n Sorolla\'s work was in 1907 with An Elderly Castillian Pouring Wine 1907.
This appears to be only the second time wine entered Sorolla\'s artistic world.
In December 1895 Sorolla met the owner of the winery Panquehue Err zuriz, Rafael Err zuriz, and was subsequently commissioned to paint four works about wine.
He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene he was painting.
