This is an introductory list of books on Impressionism available at the library or for purchase on online booksellers. There are two in Spanish in case your linguistic tastes swing that way. 😊
Joaquin Sorolla
Joaquin Sorolla was a Spanish Impressionist who used light in his paintings in such a way that he was called a Luminist. His paintings feature subjects of idyllic situations with resplendent beaches, beautiful parks and elegant houses. This image was from the website http://www.mymodernmet.com.
