Let the Sunshine In


I love the light in these paintings!






Francisco Pons Arnau 


was a Spanish Academic painter active in the mid 19th Century [Correction: late 19th, early 20th Centuries].

 He became a follower of Joaquín Sorolla --so well known for his masterful light filled paintings.
He painted portraits, figures, landscapes and what might be called intimate landscapes — garden scenes with detailed depictions of shrubs or trellised vines.
Beyond that, I’ve been able to find little information.

 Fortunately, there are several examples of his richly colored, light-filled 


paintings on the web.
