"Antes del baño" (Before Bathing) is a notable painting by the Spanish artist Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, created in 1909. This work exemplifies Sorolla's masterful use of light and his ability to capture the ephemeral moments of daily life, particularly those related to the sea and the sunny Mediterranean coast, which were recurrent themes in his oeuvre. The painting depicts a scene of leisure and tranquility, featuring figures preparing for a bath in the sea, a subject that allowed Sorolla to explore the interplay of sunlight and water with the human form.

Sorolla, often referred to as a luminist for his preoccupation with the effects of light, was adept at rendering the reflections and translucence of water, making his beach scenes particularly vibrant and lifelike. "Antes del baño" is no exception, showcasing his ability to convey the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the sea breeze, which can almost be felt by the viewer. The composition typically features loose, fluid brushstrokes that were characteristic of Sorolla's mature style, demonstrating his affinity with Impressionism while also maintaining a distinctly Spanish sensibility.

The painting is part of a larger body of work that Sorolla produced during the height of his career, a period when he enjoyed considerable success both in Spain and internationally. "Antes del baño" reflects the artist's fascination with the Valencian coast, a source of inspiration throughout his life, and contributes to the understanding of his artistic legacy as one of the most important Spanish painters of his time.

As a significant work in Sorolla's catalogue, "Antes del baño" has been exhibited in various retrospectives and is often discussed in scholarly works focusing on Spanish art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It remains a testament to Sorolla's skill in capturing the essence of Spain's coastal life and his enduring contribution to the genre of plein air painting.
