"Playa de Biarritz" (The Beach at Biarritz) is a notable painting by the Spanish artist Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, created during his mature period. This work exemplifies Sorolla's masterful handling of light and his ability to capture the transient effects of sunlight on water and the human figure. Painted in 1906, the canvas depicts a vibrant scene of leisure at the popular seaside resort of Biarritz, located on the Bay of Biscay in France. The painting is characteristic of Sorolla's impressionistic style, with loose, energetic brushstrokes and a bright palette that conveys the warmth and luminosity of a summer day.

Sorolla, often referred to as the 'master of light' for his exceptional ability to depict the intense sunlight of the Mediterranean, was fascinated by the interaction of light with water and the play of reflections and shadows. "Playa de Biarritz" captures a moment of everyday life, with figures of bathers and onlookers scattered across the beach, some wading into the shimmering water, others lounging on the sand. The composition is dynamic, with the diagonal lines of the shoreline and the placement of figures drawing the viewer's eye across the canvas, while the horizon remains distant and hazy, emphasizing the vastness of the seascape.

The painting is significant not only for its technical prowess but also for its cultural and social implications. It reflects the growing popularity of seaside resorts in the early 20th century among the European bourgeoisie, as well as the changing attitudes towards leisure and social life. "Playa de Biarritz" is a testament to Sorolla's enduring fascination with the sea and his dedication to capturing the ephemeral qualities of light and color.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, "Playa de Biarritz" is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it continues to be exhibited and studied as an important example of early 20th-century Spanish impressionism and of Sorolla's oeuvre. The painting is often highlighted in retrospectives of the artist's work and is considered one of the many masterpieces that cemented his international reputation during his lifetime.
