Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida - The Blind Man of Toledo [1906]

The scene depicts an elderly man wearing traditional dress Castilian strolling to the upper part of the city. Behind him stands the impressive Bridge of Alcantara, an important landmark that, relevant among other artists, El Greco also included in several of his works. The composition is ambitious, not only incorporating landscape and architecture, but also a human figure. It is a rare example, compared with other works in his oeuvre, in which the interest is not only pictorial, but also poetic.

[Meadows Museum, Dallas - Oil on canvas]
