Workshop of BARTOLOMÉ ESTEBAN MURILLO (Seville, 1617 - Cadiz, 1682)."Purísima Concepción".Oil on canvas. Re-tinted.It has restorations and repainting.Measurements: 159 x 105 cm.In this devotional work, the author follows the aesthetic precepts developed by Murillo, example of this is the compositional similarity of this piece, with paintings of the same subject of the Sevillian author. There is a particular resemblance to the Immaculate Conception in the Oratory of San Felipe Neri, in which this circular composition can be seen, in which the angels are arranged next to the Virgin in such a way that she is inscribed in a border. The Virgin is crowned by two angels who hold a crown above her, in this particular case a golden crown, while in Murillo's work the crown is made up of the twelve stars, alluding to the 12 tribes of Israel, typical of the iconography of the Immaculate Conception. Medieval Christianity passionately debated the belief that Mary had been conceived without the stain of original sin. Some universities and corporations vowed to defend this privilege of the Mother of God, several centuries before the First Vatican Council defined the dogma of faith in 1854. At the end of the Middle Ages the need arose to give iconographic form to this idea, and the model of the Apocalyptic Woman of Saint John was taken, maintaining some elements and modifying others (the Apocalyptic Woman is pregnant, but not the Immaculate). The definitive image came to fruition in the 16th century, apparently in Spain. Following a Valencian tradition, the Jesuit Father Alberro had a vision of the Immaculate Conception and described it to the painter Juan de Juanes so that he could depict it as faithfully as possible. It is an evolved iconographic concept, sometimes associated with the theme of the Coronation of the Virgin. Mary is shown standing, dressed in a white tunic and blue cloak, her hands crossed on her chest, with the moon at her feet (in memory of Diana's chastity) and treading on the infernal serpent (symbol of her victory over Original Sin). Around her head, like a halo, she wears the twelve stars. Most of these images are accompanied in the painting by the Marian symbols of the litanies and psalms, such as the mystical rose, the palm tree, the cypress, the enclosed garden, the ark of Faith, the gate of Heaven, the ivory tower, the sun and moon, the sealed fountain, the cedar of Lebanon, and the spotless mirror, which in this particular case is held up by two little angels in a way that is somewhat reminiscent of the angel holding the mirror in Velázquez's Venus.Little is known of Murillo's childhood and youth, except that he lost his father in 1627 and his mother in 1628, for which reason he was taken into the care of his brother-in-law. Around 1635 he must have begun his apprenticeship as a painter, most likely with Juan del Castillo, who was married to a cousin of his. This working and artistic relationship lasted about six years, as was customary at the time. After his marriage in 1645 he embarked on what was to be a brilliant career that gradually made him the most famous and sought-after painter in Seville. The only trip he is known to have made is documented in 1658, when Murillo was in Madrid for several months. It is conceivable that while at court he kept in touch with the painters who lived there, such as Velázquez, Zurbarán and Cano, and that he had access to the collection of paintings in the Royal Palace, a magnificent subject of study for all the artists who passed through the court.Despite the few documentary references to his mature years, we know that he enjoyed a comfortable life, which enabled him to maintain a high standard of living and have several apprentices. The fact that he became the leading painter in the city, surpassing even Zurbarán in fame, motivated his desire to raise the artistic level of local painting.
Circle of DOMENICO FETTI (Rome, 1589 - Venice, 16 April 1623)"Jacob's Dream.Oil on canvas. Re-tinted.It has repainting, restorations on the pictorial layer and missing parts in the frame.It has a 19th century frame.Measurements: 78 x 51 cm; 92 x 65 cm (frame).Aesthetically the work follows the compositional and stylistic precepts of the painting by Dominico Fetti, which belongs to the collection of Domenico Fetti, and has the same title. The canvas narrates the mysterious dream of the patriarch Jacob who, according to Genesis, dreamt on the road to Haran of a heavenly ladder on which angels ascended and descended. This vision of Jacob narrated by the sacred text is usually interpreted as a symbol of the contemplative life, according to Benedictine interpretation. The Genesis account tells us that Jacob set out from Beer-sheba in the direction of Haran. By chance he came to a place and stayed there to spend the night, because the sun had already set. He took a stone from there, put it on as a pillow, and lay down to sleep in that place. And he had a dream: a stairway was leaning against the earth, with its top touching the sky. Angels of God were ascending and descending it. The Lord stood on it and said, "I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying, I will give it to you and your descendants. Your descendants will multiply like the dust of the earth, and you will occupy the east and the west, the north and the south; and all the nations of the world will be called blessed because of you and your descendants. I am with you; I will keep you wherever you go, and I will return you to this land and will not forsake you until I have fulfilled what I have promised." When Jacob awoke, he said, "Truly the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it." And, in awe, he added, "How terrible is this place; it is but the house of God and the gate of heaven."Domenico Fetti was a Roman-born artist who began his artistic education at the hands of his father, the renowned painter Pietro Fetti. He later continued his studies with Andrea Commodi and Lodovico Cigoli. His career took off thanks to the patronage of Ferdinando Gonzaga, who, following his appointment as Duke of Mantua, made the painter move to that city. His stay there brought him into contact with the paintings of great artists such as Rubens and Titian. In 1622 he moved to Venice with the support of important patrons. Fetti's painting was characterised by his experimentation with various genres such as portraiture, allegory, history and religion.
