'Breakwater, San Sebastian.' (1918) Most of Sorolla's paintings at the beach in San Sebastian are different from his Mediterranean scenes. In Valencia, the figures belong to the sea, but here they watch it from the promenade, like an audience watching a performance in a theatre.

Joseph Mallord William Turner would have been 250 years old today! He was born on 23 April 1775 in Maiden Lane in Covent Garden - which, I think I worked out once, is round about where Rules restaurant is (established 1798!) #turner250
