"And They Still Say Fish is Expensive" is a notable work of art constructed in 1894 by the renowned Spanish artist, Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida. Representative of Sorolla's early career, this painting stands as a pivotal stepping stone towards his imminent fame in the grand scope of European painting, primarily influenced by his distinctive brand of luminism.

The artwork traverses the themes of societal critique and human tragedy, encapsulating a momentary depiction to remark on the commercial value placed on lives. The painting portrays fishermen struggling to reclaim the body of a companion who has presumably drowned, an apprehension of potential job hazards common in Valencia, Sorolla's homeland. The title, "And They Still Say Fish is Expensive," emanates a stark irony, subtly suggesting the contrast between the perilous nature of the job and the supposed high cost of fish.

Sorolla's ability to capture light in this painting remains exceptional, as he weaves a narrative shadowed by grief, yet enlightened by the shimmering reflections off the water and the fishermen's wet clothes. At the first glance, the symphony of colors and the artistic style could potentially deceive a viewer into seeing a joyful seaside scene, but the lingering veil of tragedy soon becomes apparent.

This painting is currently housed in the Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao and continues to attract art enthusiasts, researchers, and critics, contributing to the perpetuation of Sorolla's critical acclaim.
