Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida (1863 –1923)
Sorolla, La Siesta,1911 "..canvas upon which he was yet working; a picture of three women in sun-flecked, summery dresses of white and pink, stretched out full length on the sun bathed grass in poses eloquent of utter, irresistible relaxation, once more as if seen from above. I fairly gasped at the daring of this point of view and Sorolla laughed and stroked his hands and exclaimed, "C'est terrible, ca" - which being interpreted meant - the illusion is quite overpowering, as I wished it to be."
