EDITORS COMMENTS
This painting, titled "The Preparation of Dry Grapes," transports us back in time to circa 1916, showcasing a scene of women engaged in the meticulous process of preparing dry grapes. The warm hues of the painting evoke a sense of tranquility and the richness of the harvest season. In the foreground, a group of women are seen busily working, their focused expressions conveying the importance of their task. One woman holds a basket, carefully sorting through the grapes, while another uses a cloth to wipe away any impurities. A third woman, her back to the viewer, leans over a large table, her hands deftly plucking grapes from a vine. Behind them, a smiling man sits casually against an arch, watching the women with a sense of pride and contentment. His relaxed posture and peaceful expression contrast the industriousness of the women, adding depth and complexity to the scene. Another man, standing nearby, balances a basket of grapes on his shoulder, ready to transport them to the next stage of the process. The play of light and shadow on his weathered face and the textured fabric of his clothing adds texture and depth to the painting. This beautiful work of art, a masterpiece by Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla Bastida, was featured in the December volume of a color magazine in 1916. The painting's title, "The Preparation of Dry Grapes," aptly describes the scene, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of rural life in the early 20th century.
