"Triste herencia (Sad Inheritance)" is an evocative oil painting by the Spanish artist Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, created in 1899. This poignant work is considered one of Sorolla's most powerful and socially conscious pieces, capturing a group of disabled children bathing in the sea at Valencia under the supervision of a monk. The painting measures 87 x 118 inches (220 x 300 cm), showcasing Sorolla's mastery of large-scale compositions.

The scene depicted in "Triste herencia" is both intimate and tragic, as the children, afflicted by polio and other disabilities, experience the ocean's therapeutic embrace. The title itself, "Sad Inheritance," alludes to the legacy of suffering passed down to these children, a reflection of the social issues and health crises of the time. Sorolla's use of light and color imbues the painting with a sense of warmth and immediacy, while also highlighting the contrast between the children's innocence and their physical challenges.

"Triste herencia" was exhibited to great acclaim at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900, where it earned Sorolla a Grand Prix and international recognition. The painting was pivotal in establishing his reputation as a leading figure in the Spanish art scene and as a prominent Impressionist painter. Today, "Triste herencia" is held in the collection of the Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia in Spain, where it continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and its compassionate, humanistic portrayal of its subjects.
