MARIANO SALVADOR MAELLA (Valencia, 1739 - Madrid, 1819). "Holy Family with Saint Teresa of Jesus". Oil on canvas. Relined. Attached certificate of authenticity issued by the Amatller Institute of Hispanic Art. Measurements: 215 x 157 cm; 239 x 183 cm (frame). Faithful to his style, Mariano Salvador Maella offers us a canvas that combines the last traces of eighteenth-century baroque with the novelties of neoclassicism, always marked by academicism and rigour in the drawing. This is a tremendously narrative work, with the Holy Family in the centre of the composition and Saint Teresa of Jesus in the lower right corner. In an exceptional interplay of gazes, gestures and symbolism, Maella immortalises Saint Teresa as if she were a donor, in the manner of a portrait, idealised both in the treatment of her face and her clothing. Thus, the Carmelite habit, far from being represented as a mere garment, is worked with great subtlety and determination, as if it were a delicate transparent veil. The saint looks at the Child Jesus, personified by the Valencian artist as Cupid. With the help of his parents, the little boy points his arrow at Teresa of Jesus, an allusion to the ecstasy experienced by the saint herself, in which she felt God's love piercing her heart. Maella completes the composition with the representation of the Holy Spirit, from whose beak emanate the rays that inspire the saint in her writing. In relation to this last point, it is worth mentioning how Saint Teresa is considered one of Spain's most celebrated writers. On the heavenly plane, in the manner of a typically Baroque break in glory, God the Father Almighty is depicted, relegated to the background, albeit with a firm and decisive line, a faithful reflection of her religious condition. This exceptional composition, which embodies the powerful artistic work of Salvador Maella, denotes the Valencian artist's taste for classical antiquity, a characteristic of neoclassicism reflected in the personification of the Christ Child as Cupid, in the foot of the classical column that rises in the background of the work and in the tonsure of flowers that crowns the Saint (in the manner of a laurel wreath). A painter, engraver and illustrator, Maella began his training in Madrid, in the drawing studio of the sculptor Felipe de Castro. He later continued his studies at the recently created San Fernando Academy, where his teacher was Antonio González Velázquez, from whom he learned the elements of the late 18th-century Baroque. After completing his studies and having won several Academy competitions, he moved to Rome in 1757. There he began his professional career, following the Baroque style of his master. However, on returning to France he entered the sphere of Anton Raphael Mengs, leaving the Baroque influence behind him for good. From then on he carried out important work as a fresco painter in the decoration of the Royal Palace in Madrid and other royal sites. In 1774 he was appointed chamber painter, and from then on he combined his service to the king with his post at the Santa Bárbara Tapestry Factory, where he was responsible for supervising the work of the young painters. He was also a member of merit of the Royal Academy of San Fernando from 1765, replacing Mengs as professor there from 1769, before finally being appointed director in 1772. At the height of his career, Charles IV awarded him the title of first painter to the king, shared with Goya, in 1799. Maella is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the National Heritage collection, the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Valencia Fine Arts Museum, among others.

Housed in the original leather scabbard with brass lower chape, tabs removed from the scabbard but the securing tab is still in place. Un-marked double edged stiletto blade with medial ridge. Some surface staining and expected wear. Blade measures 15 ½ cms, overall 30cms. Accompanying the knife is his officers Sam Browne belt and a small archive of original handwritten letters from Captain Cotton Minchin, mostly written to his mother and family members, from the early 1940’s period, a small hand written diary and a number of photographs, some of him in uniform of the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles), paperwork from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission also. An interesting grouping. The Commando Veterans association gives the following details about his career, “Captain Douglas Cotton Minchin was missing reported presumed killed after his patrol prior to the planned attack at Lake Comacchio, Italy, came under fire. He had earlier served with 12 Commando on the Lofoten raid, and had also been Chief Instructor at the Commando Basic Training Centre. Douglas Cotton Minchin was in the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles). He served briefly in the RAF before returning at his own request to the Army. He was later attached as a Lieutenant to No.12 Commando for a period of time before becoming Chief Instructor at the CBTC, Achnacarry. In 1944 he was posted overseas to the CMF after a brief spell at the HOC. From the 7th October 1944 he was an Instructor at the 2 Commando Brigade Training Centre at Bari. On the 2nd February1945 he was attached as a personal advisor to 43 RM Commando and was subsequently killed in action on the 15th March 1945. He therefore has the unique status of having been attached at some stage prior to his death to the Army, RAF, and the Royal Navy.”
