VICENTE PALMAROLI GONZÁLEZ (Zarzalejo, Madrid, 1834 - Madrid, 1896)."Portrait of a young man.Oil on canvas. Re-coloured.It has craquelure on the pictorial surface.Provenance: Private Collection of Luis García Berlanga.Signed in the lower left area.Measurements: 46 x 36 cm; 64 x 54,5 cm (frame).Portrait of a lady which seems to have been conceived as a sketch or study, as the author only presents the face of the young woman in a detailed way, while the bust area is slightly intuited through several touches of colour which make up the volume. The work follows the precepts established by the portrait genre throughout the history of art: the neutral background that monumentalises the figure, and the position in the foreground, avoiding strict frontality.Palmaroli was a vigorous portraitist who knew how to delve into the psychology of the sitter and recreate the minute details of the clothing. With a virtuoso brushstroke, he expressed the plasticity of the clothes and the brilliance of the adolescent flesh tones in a veristic language. The son of an Italian lithographer, Palmaroli entered the School of Fine Arts at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid in 1848. A few years later, in 1853, he succeeded his father in the post of lithographer at the Museo del Prado, created especially for him by the king consort Francisco de Asís with the support of José de Madrazo. In 1857 this post enabled him to go to Italy to further his training, accompanied by Eduardo Rosales and Luis Álvarez Catalá. On his return he submitted two paintings executed during his trip to the National Exhibition of Fine Arts of 1862, which were awarded second and first medals. From his earliest works, Palmaroli began to move away from the official aesthetics of his time, evolving towards much more intimate, refined plastic works inspired by contemporary and even everyday motifs. He returned to Italy in 1863 and stayed there for three years, during which time he painted "The Sermon in the Sistine Chapel" (Caja Duero, Salamanca), a work of enormous success which won him the first medal at the National Exhibition of 1866 and very good reviews in Paris. During this period of splendour and pictorial maturity he also painted numerous portraits, including that of the Infanta Isabel de Borbón (Royal Palace, Madrid). Once he settled in Madrid again, in 1871 he obtained his third first-class medal at the National Academy, and the following year he was appointed a member of the San Fernando Academy. In 1873 Palmaroli settled in Paris, where he worked extensively as a painter of tableautins for ten years, at the end of which he was called to Rome as director of the Accademia di Roma. In the Italian capital he continued with the same genre of anecdotal inspiration until 1894, when he was appointed director of the Museo del Prado, a post he held until 1896. Towards the end of his life, his painting cautiously approached symbolism in such significant works as his Martyrdom of Saint Christina (Prado, on deposit in Jaen). Palmaroli was also the teacher of prominent painters such as Carlota Rosales, daughter of Eduardo Rosales, Casimiro Sainz, Eduardo León Garrido and Domingo Muñoz Cuesta, among others. Vicente Palmaroli is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the Malaga Municipal Museum, the museums of Jaén, L'Empordà, Granada and La Coruña, the Ministry of Public Works and the Royal Theatre in Madrid, the Royal Academy of San Fernando and the Romantic Museum in Madrid, among others.

Late 19th Century silvered bronze female bust by Maison Marnyhac, Paris, on socle base, the reverse marked 'MAISON MARNYHAC, 1 Rue de la Paix, raised on specimen marble pedestal, 23cm high overallMaison Marnyhac, the commercial name for la Société des Marbres et Bronzes Artistiques de Paris, was established under the direction of Charles de Marnyhac in Paris in the mid-19th Century, firstly at Avenue de l'Opéra then Rue de la Paix; it closed in circa 1910. The company also opened a magnificent gallery at 163 to 165 Regent Street in 1875, which was frequented by the English aristocracy. They specialised in the creation of objets de luxe and their repertoire was extensive incorporating 'tous les styles et toutes les epoques’, Pompeian, Chinese and 'Japonisme'.The bronze is showing tarnish and wear mainly on the base, back, and sides. There is also a build-up of old polish on the hair and back of her head. The pedestal doesn’t look to be original, possibly made by a crafter as you can see gaps and glue residue and there are chips and losses on all sections.
