Lot 153
Spanish school of the late 18th century."Portrait of a Cardinal.Gouache on vellum.Frame in bronze and stuccoed wood.Measurements: 7 x 5,5 cm; 14,5 x 13 x 1,5 cm (frame).In this miniature the author immortalises the half bust portrait of a cardinal. He wears a cardinal's cape and cassock, both in red, symbolising the cardinal's willingness to die for his faith. The delicate execution of the features and clothing indicate that this is the work of an avid painter who specialised in the genre of miniatures, which developed in Europe from the 16th century onwards. These were mainly paintings that were embedded in objects such as medallions, table clocks or small boxes. They were executed in a wide variety of techniques, such as oil on copper, tin or ivory, gouaches on parchment or cardboard and, from the 18th century, watercolour on ivory. This delicate art was gradually lost from the second half of the 19th century, in parallel with the development of photography.

Spanish School, XVII century. After Rubens (1577-1640)."Supper at the House of Simon the Pharisee". Oil on copper. It has repaintingMeasurements: 40 x 54 cm; 46 x 60 cm (frame).Rubens painted the oil on which this copper painting is based around 1618. It was a very copied painting at the time: in the Prado Museum there is a version made by Pieter Van Lint, also in copper. The present copper painting is very faithful to the original, reproducing each of the figures and using a contrasting palette. The scene, taken from the Gospels, narrates the moment when Mary, sister of Lazarus, anointed the feet of Jesus with her perfume and then dried them with her hair. The pictorial tradition has often depicted the female figure with long blonde hair and a sensual figure, which has led to her being confused with the sinful Magdalene. The present painting belongs to this tradition, thus enriching the possible interpretations of this biblical theme. Mary, with her bust uncovered and an intense rapture in her countenance, does not pay attention to what Christ is trying to tell her, with a gesticulating attitude. The other figures, gathered around the table, look at each other and look at Jesus with a somewhat dazed gaze, establishing significant silent dialogues between them. The architecture is limited to a spatial demarcation, open to a background of sky. This work is faithful to the narrative richness of Rubens' painting, with its variety of attitudes and gestures, captured with naturalism, as well as the plasticity of the drapery. The event took place in the dining room of the house of Simon (the Pharisee according to some, the leper according to others), where various figures are situated around a table presided over by Christ. According to the scriptures, while they were dining, Mary, the sister of Lazarus, took a pound of precious nard perfume and anointed Jesus' feet, wiped them and the scent of the perfume filled the whole house. On seeing this, some of the disciples criticise the woman's wastefulness because of the high price of the perfume poured out. Anointing consists basically of pouring aromatic substances on the body of Christ, which are described in the sources generically as oils, perfumes or ointments.

He also executed four monuments to military heroes for St Paul's Cathedral, London and left the Chantrey Bequest (or Fund) for the purchase of works of art for the nation.The first marble bust of the Duke of Wellington was carved for the Earl of Liverpool although Chantrey later went on to produce versions for both the sitter and the King amongst others Although this idealized portrait of Wellington executed after his victory at Wellington is carved in the classical mode (al'antica), with bared neck and blank eyes, the inclusion of the military hero's dramatic profile suggests the influence of the emerging romantic movement.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
