Workshop of PEDRO DE ORRENTE (Murcia, 1580 - Valencia, 1645). "Allegory of winter". Oil on canvas. It has repainting and restorations. Presents frame following ancient models. Size: 144 x 162 cm; 156 x 174 cm (frame). In a first plane, the author structures two groups of personages; in the right zone a young man climbed to a ladder gathers firewood, while in the inferior zone another one seems to transport a bundle with the branches that his companion provides him. At the other end of the image several characters gather around a bonfire, two children, a woman and a man, all of them trying to get warm. In the background, a couple distributes the food and finally we can appreciate three characters that seem to be going hunting, one with his shotgun and two with falcons that facilitate this practice. Finally, the scene is completed with a landscape and a large mountain in the background. The figures stand out for their large dimensions and the rotundity of the forms, thus showing a great prominence with respect to the landscape. Due to the technical characteristics of the work, it should be mentioned that it is close to the workshop of Pedro Orrente. Known as "the Spanish Bassano", Pedro Orrente was an artist of great success in his time, admired as a follower of the formulas of the famous family of artists of Venice, especially in the realization of series of Old Testament themes set in lush landscapes. He lived in several Spanish cities, moving at a very young age from his native Murcia to Toledo, where he was already in 1600. If the fame of the Bassano's works was enormous throughout Spain, the climate in the Castilian city must have been especially receptive to his painting, as evidenced by the works of the best masters who worked there. It is not surprising, therefore, that Orrente, who shortly afterwards would travel to Italy, went to Venice, where we find him as early as 1605. It is quite reasonable to think that he passed through the workshop of Leandro Bassano, whom Jusepe Martínez catalogued as his master. In 1607 he is already back in Spain, installed in Murcia. He continued to visit other Spanish cities, especially Toledo and Valencia, although he must have also spent time in Madrid. During his stay in Venice, he must not only have learned the pictorial manners of the Bassano family, but he would also assume their conception of painting as a market-oriented activity. In this sense, the treatment of sacred themes as genre scenes will be fundamental. These were, above all, lively series of biblical stories with which fans could be flattered by the variety and dynamism of the works, populated by a large number of characters set in landscapes, and accompanied by all kinds of animals and everyday objects. Contemporary inventories cite a large number of works by Orrente, so we deduce that in order to produce such a large output, the painter must have had a very well-constituted workshop, which repeated the models established by the master. This circumstance also explains the enormous differences in quality that can be found in the catalogued works of this artist. But, although he was already noted in ancient sources for his Bassanesque canvases, Orrente also demonstrated his expertise and versatility in other types of work. Having had first-hand knowledge of the creations of the great Venetian masters, he knew how to adopt the teachings of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese for his works. In addition, his more than possible passage through Rome would place him in a privileged situation to know in all its apogee the development of the Caravaggist painting and the interest for naturalism, characteristics that he knew how to add to his own works. Works by Pedro Orrente are currently preserved in the Prado Museum, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, the Metropolitan in New York, etc.

"My father, Paul Birkbeck, who has died aged 80, was an artist and illustrator whose work is familiar to those of a certain generation brought up on BBC childrens TV programmes such as Crystal Tipps and Alistair, Play School and Jackanory. His distinctive style and keen eye for detail ensured that he became one of the BBCs most-used artists through the 1970s and 80s. Born in Woolwich, south-east London, Paul attended Brighton College and Epsom School ofArt. After completing his national service, he also became the banjo player for the Dedicated Men Jugband, who signed to Pye Records in 1965. The bands single, Boodle Am Shake, did not trouble the charts but Paul soon began designing sleeves for Decca Records. In 1965 working with BBC childrens TV he became a prolific illustrator for its programmes. For Jackanory he illustrated 14 stories, including A Dog So Small (read by Judi Dench) and Peter Pan, (some in this sale), as well as the BBC Sunday afternoon Bible stories series In the Beginning. His work for Jackanory continued for many years. He created the memorable opening titles for The Vikings in 1980, presented by Magnus Magnusson, and the iconic Miss Marple series, starring Joan Hickson. Paul also drew the backgrounds for the ground-breaking TV series Jane, starring Glynis Barber, which mixed cartoon backgrounds with live actors and was based on the 1940s comic strip of the same name. (some in this sale). In 1991, as well as supplying illustrations, he was in front of the camera playing himself each week in the BBCs six-part childrens TV history programme Now Then, an educational show that cleverly brought our ancestors to life. Paul taught illustration at Leicester Polytechnic, Epsom College and the Royal College of Art, but continued to work in TV, including delivering the titles for the Stanley Baxter Show on Channel 4. He branched out into book illustration with Salman Rushdies 1990 childrens fairy tale Haroun and the Sea of Stories, for which his lavish pictures were much lauded, not least by Rushdie. My father spent the latter part of his life on personal commissions. His work appeared at the Keith Chapman Gallery, London, in Royal Academy summer shows and Sunday Times watercolour exhibitions between 2003 and 2008, and in the Mall Galleries Discerning Eye exhibitions. PROVENANCE The artworks in this sale have been consigned by his family. NOTES: The pictures in this sale were prepared in various mediums often used by the artist and often in conjunction with one another, including, pen and ink, crayon, water-colour, gouache, pastel, and oil and acrylic paints on card or on paper.
