Sorolla was a Spanish painter born in 1863 who was influenced by Impressionism after visiting Paris. He is known for painting scenes of the Mediterranean coast, especially those depicting the effects of light and color on the sea, beach, and human figures. His works achieved great fame across Europe and the United States, though his mature style is considered luminist rather than Impressionist. The story describes a family's summer holiday in Valencia, where the mother worries for her son Jake after he goes down to the beach alone and the rising tide threatens to trap him. She finds him safely playing in the sand.

2. Sorolla
• He was a Spanish painter that
was born the 27th of February of
1863. A trip to Paris, brought him
into contact with impressionist
painting, which represented a
revolution in his style. He left the
above one and began to paint
outdoors, leaving invaded by the
light and the color of the
Mediterranean.
In the most typical style of Sorolla,
the technical and impressionist
conception, you can distinguish the
human figure (naked children,
women sheer dresses) on a beach
background or landscape.

3. • His fame went beyond the Spanish borders
to spread throughout Europe and the United
States. Tagged as impressionist sometimes
actually his mature style is best defined as
luminist.
It´s precisely the work of light color and
vigorous brushwork depicting scenes on the
sea front which identifies the art of Sorolla.

6. Story
It was a windy day. A family was on
summer holidays in Valencia. They
installed in the hotel and the little child,
Jake, went to explore the beach near the
hotel, while his parents were taking out the
things of the luggage.

7. He was playing in the water when he
realised the sea level was rising. He wasn´t
near the shore, so it took him a long time to
get out of the water. Finally, Jake got into
the shore and played with the sand.

8. Meanwhile in the hotel, her mother was
looking for Jake. She saw through the
window that the sea level was rising and she
thought his son might be in the beach and
she went to see if he was there.

9. She went to the beach and looked for his son. She
was about to give up when he saw Jake playing with
the sand. She felt relieved, took his son and gave him
a towel for him to dry up.
