Sorolla paints from the segovian plain (segovia, spain) the heights of the peñalara peak, the highest in the sierra de guadarrama, surrounded by the cobalt of the downpour. The illness of his first-born daughter, the studies, sketches and cartoons preparing his great work for the hispanic society of america and the circumstance of having a summer house in the mountain town of cercedilla (madrid), explain the repeated presence of the guadarrama in many of his works. Object Type: painting. Collection: Sorolla Museum.
