English school of the early nineteenth century."Portrait of a gentleman", ca. 1820.Oil on canvas. Relined.Presents repainting.Measurements: 92 x 71 cm.This full-length male portrait represents a middle-aged man and aristocratic bearing. The face, natural and sober, is animated with the hint of a soft smile and has been treated with great delicacy, by means of a brushstroke that melts without leaving evident traces. The starched collar enhances the haughtiness of her features, modeled with a clear light that also brings out the right textures of the pleated blouse. Both the composition, with an interior room as a backdrop, and the pictorial execution of this excellent portrait fit the characteristics of the best English portrait painting of the first quarter of the 19th century.
GONZALO BILBAO MARTÍNEZ (Seville, 1860 - Madrid, 1938).Untitled.Mixed media on paper.Attached certificate issued by Don Gerardo Pérez Calero.It has slight damage to the frame.Signed in the lower right corner.Measurements: 31 x 60 cm; 50 x 80 cm (frame).Gonzalo Bilbao begins in the drawing since he was a child and in 1880 he begins his pictorial career. During these years he made a trip to Italy and France with Jiménez de Aranda. In Rome he worked with the painter José Villegas Cordero, and traveled through the different Italian capitals, painting urban and rural views until his return to Spain in 1884. In the following years he visited Rome again, traveled through Spain and also went to Morocco, Paris and Munich. In Spain he worked as a professor of painting, at first as a private individual and, from 1903, as successor to Jiménez de Aranda at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Santa Isabel de Hungría in Seville. In 1904 he married and took up residence in Madrid, where he continued his teaching work at the San Fernando Academy. During his career he participated in numerous exhibitions of fine arts, both national and foreign, being awarded a third medal at the Universal Exhibition of Paris (1889) and the International Exhibition of Barcelona (1891), a single medal at the Universal Exhibition of Chicago (1893), and a gold medal at the International Exhibitions of Berlin (1899), Munich (1905), Buenos Aires (1910), Santiago de Chile (1910), San Francisco (1915) and Panama (1916). He also participated in the National Fine Arts, obtaining second medal in 1887 and 1892, first in 1899 and 1901 and honor in 1915. A traditional painter, representative of Spanish costumbrismo, he expressed in his paintings colorful pictures of Andalusian life and its most popular characters, and also practiced the landscape, the figure and the portrait, painting prominent figures of the time as King Alfonso XIII and the actress Carmen Diaz. The light and vitality of his compositions bring his language closer to impressionist aesthetics, focusing on the essential representation of environments and landscapes. Gonzalo Bilbao is represented in the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville, where he has a room entirely dedicated to his work, the Prado Museum, the Jaume Morera Museum in Lleida and the Museum of Fine Arts in Cordoba, among others, as well as in private collections both in Spain and abroad.
VICENTE CASTELL DOMENECH (Castellón de la Plana, 1871- 1934)."Smoker.Oil on canvas.Signed in the lower right corner.Measurements: 65 x 45 cm; 77 x 58 cm (frame).Painter specialized in the costumbrista portrait, Vicente Castell was one of the most nationally known artists from Castellón. Trained with Eduardo Laforet, at the Academy he met painters such as Ramiro de Leza, Francisco Pérez Olmos, who frescoed the Teatro Principal in Castellón, Juan Bautista Carbó Rovira and Bernardo Mundina Milallave. He furthered his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos, in Valencia. In Valencia he discovered the luminism of Sorolla and the poetic painting of Pinazo. Again on scholarship he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi in Barcelona in 1898, and in 1899 he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid. There he got to know the Prado Museum and the great masters. He traveled to Rome and Paris. Meanwhile he cultivated his facet as a portraitist of personalities.
IGNACIO ZULOAGA Y ZABALETA (Eibar, Guipuzcoa, 1870 - Madrid, 1945)."Female portrait.Charcoal on paper.Signed and dedicated to Teresina Boronat, dancer from Barcelona, in the lower left corner.Measurements: 50 x 44 cm; 83 x 77 cm (frame).Teresina Boronat was a successful Spanish dancer who settled in Paris. In 1927, she set up her studio in the district of Montmartre, a very busy environment for the Spanish artistic avant-garde exiled in Paris during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. Names like Ignacio Zuloaga, who staged some of the dances of his company, Pablo Gargallo or Pere Pruna resonated in an environment full of changes and artistic novelties.Son of the notable damascene artist Plácido Zuloaga, and nephew of Daniel Zuloaga, one of the most outstanding Spanish ceramists of his time, Ignacio Zuloaga worked as a child in his father's workshop, where he had his first contact with drawing and engraving. He later began studying engineering, but abandoned his studies to devote himself to painting. He acquired his artistic training at the Prado Museum, copying Ribera, Goya, Velázquez and El Greco, of whom he would be one of the first propagators. In 1887 he presented a painting at the National Exhibition in Madrid, entitled "A priest praying in an old room". After a first trip to Rome in 1889, where he imbibed the Renaissance masters, Zuloaga went to Paris, where he met French artists such as M. Dethomas and Rodin, with whom he became great friends. He also met Miguel Utrillo and Santiago Rusiñol, and with the latter he traveled again to Italy. In Paris he came to practice pointillism and impressionism, and participated in some group exhibitions at the gallery Le Bar de Boutteville, frequented by the symbolists. However, the search for his own roots took him to Andalusia, where he spent some time between 1894 and 1897. In the latter year, in Segovia, he painted "My uncle and my cousins", a painting that he presented at the Paris Salon and which was acquired by the French State. In 1898 he married and settled in Madrid, although he made frequent trips to the French capital. The following year he presented his "Family Portrait" at the Paris Salon, which was also acquired by the French Government. From 1903 onwards he took part in international exhibitions and his fame grew. Between 1906 and 1913 he worked in Segovia, attracted by the austerity of the Castilian landscape and the quiet and humble dignity of its inhabitants, influenced by the ideology of the Generation of '98. In 1908 he was invited to present an exhibition in New York. At the outbreak of World War I he returned to the Basque Country and lived in a 12th century monastery in Zumaya (Guipúzcoa), later converted into a museum, where he installed his rich collection of works of art, including paintings by El Greco and Goya. Such was his admiration for the Aragonese master that he even bought his birthplace in Fuendetodos. Likewise, in 1926 he acquired the castle of Pedraza (Segovia), also converted into a museum. Ignacio Zuloaga is today considered, together with Gutiérrez Solana, the continuator of the tradition of Spanish painting throughout the 20th century. He is currently represented in prominent museums such as the Prado (works attached to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía), as well as in others around the world such as the Orsay, the Rodin and the National de Versailles in Paris, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the Metropolitan in New York, the Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, among others.
JOSÉ BENLLIURE GIL (Valencia, 1855 - 1937)."The beggars, Basilica of Assisi".Oil on panel.Signed in the lower right corner.Measurements: 37 x 53 cm; 61 x 77 cm (frame).José Benlliure cultivated the costumbrista theme and the portrait. In the present case, we are in front of a scene in the interior of the Basilica of San Francisco de Asís. In it, some beggars appear seated on the bench of the basilica under the serious gaze of the parish priest, while praying the rosary. The scene plays with the light and the backgrounds, creating several spaces. The main part of the piece is the one that frames the beggars next to the parish priest, illuminated by a candle; while the secondary scene is played by two altar boys, at the back of the parish priest, who talk to each other. The background of this second scene is almost black. It is not arbitrary that the scene is represented in the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, since he went from being the son of a rich merchant of the city in his youth, to live under the strictest poverty and observance of the Gospels. His religious life was austere and simple, so he encouraged his followers to do the same. In short, we find a piece with exceptional detail, where each face, each architecture and each detail are worked to the millimeter.José Benlliure began his artistic studies with Francisco Domingo in Valencia, to later continue his training in Madrid, where he settled in 1869. From an early age he enjoyed the patronage of the King of Savoy and in 1879 he moved to Rome, where he was discovered by the important art dealer Martin Colnaghi, who financed his studies in the city.In 1897 he made several trips to Tangier, Algeria and Morocco where he approached through a realistic, luminous and loose painting to the daily world of the places visited. From 1900 onwards his work depicts popular themes. He took part in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, obtaining third medals in the editions of 1876 and 1878 and first in 1887. He belonged to the Academies of San Fernando (Madrid), San Lucas (Rome), San Carlos (Valencia), Brera (Milan) and Munich. Between 1904 and 1912 he directed the Spanish Academy in Rome. The most important part of his production is preserved in Valencia, in his House Museum and in the Museum of Fine Arts San Pío V. He is also represented in the Prado Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Palace of Charles V in Granada, among others.

Cushing, an officer in the United States Navy, was known for engaging in risky attacks on Rebel installations. The CSS Albemarle, a steam-powered ironclad gunboat ram, dominated the Roanoke River and approaches to Plymouth through the summer of 1864. On the night of 27-28 October 1864, Cushing and 21 men worked their way up the Roanoke River in an attempt to capture the Albemarle, where they were spotted by a sentry and came under heavy fire. Cushing rammed his steam launch into the Albemarle at full speed, and when her spar was against the ironclad's hull, Cushing detonated the torpedo's charge. The raid blew a hole in the Albemarle's hull, and she sank immediately. For his leadership in sinking the CSS Albemarle, Cushing received the Thanks of Congress, and five ships in the U.S. Navy have been named USS Cushing in his honor.[With:] WELLES, Gideon.

Eisen was best known for his book illustrations and vignettes, and "the most remarkable of these are the designs for the "ËœFermiers-generaux ' edition of the "ËœContes ' of La Fontaine '" though he also served as the painter and draftsman to the Kind and the drawing-master to Madame de Pompadour (Bryan, Dictionary of Painters and Engravers, p. 459). Stories and Tales in Verse was originally published by Fontaine from 1668 to 1694. He transformed fables from a variety of sources into French free verse. While the present edition was produced for an adult audience, Fontaine 's fables were quickly adapted to the educational curricula for children. See Cohen-de-Ricci 571.
