Description
Spanish school of the 18th century.
"Still life with flowers".
Oil on canvas.
With frame ca. 1830.
Size: 94 x 71 cm; 101 x 81 cm (frame).
The artist of the present canvas demonstrates his artistic gifts with great mastery in composing, with contrasted palette, sensual flowers and bouquets captured in a language fully inscribed in the Spanish baroque, heir of great masters like Juan de Arellano. The composition of the bouquet is typical of the full Baroque, with the flowers fanning out from a vase which, however, is hidden by the voluptuousness of the whole. Directly illuminated by an artificial spotlight, it stands out with three-dimensionality and a certain illusionistic accent, again derived from Baroque models.
The origin of the still life genre in Spain can be found in the early years of the 17th century, when it was still approached in a rational and rigorous style, with a Mannerist heritage. However, as the Baroque progressed, still lifes and vases became increasingly more dynamic, the compositions became more open and more naturalistic and theatrical. The flowers of the full Baroque period are shown, as we see here, completely open, almost on the point of wilting and very volumetric, adding dynamism and a sense of scenography to the image, thus leaving behind the static and contemplative mood of the still life of the early Baroque. Other typical features of the traditional Spanish still life, which the artist mastered with mastery, are the careful study of the light, which creates sharp contrasts to enhance the volume of the various elements; the care taken with the qualities of the flowers; and the accentuated realism with an almost illusionistic accent, supported by rigorous drawing and the skilful use of chiaroscuro.
