Attributed to Luis Juarez (Mexico, circa 1585 - 1639)"Saint Augustine of Hippo and Saint Gregory the Great, Fathers of the Church, and The Four Evangelists"Set of six oils on copper.22.5 x 17 cm (2) each, and 21 x 16 cm (4) each.A magnificent collection of 6 paintings on copper depicting the Evangelists with their iconic symbols and two of the four Fathers of the Church. Matthew with the angel, a man with wings highlighting the humanity of the Son of God; Mark with the lion, a symbol of strength, courage, and royalty; Luke with the bull, a beast of burden, calm and humble, and John with the eagle, the mystic who sees the world from the heights.The two Fathers of the Church depicted are Saint Gregory the Great and Saint Augustine of Hippo. (Possibly the other two, Saint Jerome of Stridon and Saint Ambrose of Milan are missing to complete the octet).Faux ovals contain phrases from their writings, representative of the Gospels or Roman liturgy: "Book of the Genealogy of Jesus, Son of David"; "Behold, I send an angel before you"; "who is famous among all the churches for his preaching of the gospel"; "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God"; "Order our days in Your peace"; and "No one should pass without penance."With vibrant and lively colours, creating a cheerful and dynamic rhythm, the paintings display meticulous attention to detail, as well as soft light and shadows. The figures exhibit an idealised yet "almost real" beauty, balanced and serene, capturing the viewer as a contemplative observer of the saints of the church to imitate and follow.
Juan Baptista Franconio. Late 16th century, based on the casting of Michelangelo Buonarroti's model."Christ"Gilded bronze sculpture.22.5 x 21 cm.Magnificent gilded bronze Christ. This is one of the pieces obtained by casting bronze from the model by Michelangelo, which Juan Baptista Franconio, an Italian silversmith, brought to Seville in 1597 from Rome, where he settled.The significance of the Christ by Michelangelo was such that it was one of the inspirational works of art that led Juan Martínez Montañés to create his Christ of the Chalices. Francisco Pacheco recounts this in his posthumously published "Art of Painting" in Seville in 1649.He mentions that Martínez Montañés made this sculpture following the posture of another Christ, describing it as follows: "Michaelangelo, the illustrious light of painting and sculpture, made a crucifix with four nails for a model, which we can now enjoy. Juan Baptista Franconio, a brave silversmith, brought it to this city, cast in bronze, in 1597, and after enriching all painters and sculptors with it, he gave the original to Pablo de Céspedes, a canon of the Holy Church of Córdoba, who held it with great esteem around his neck." It is now known that the original is, for the moment, unaccounted for.Pacheco also specifies in his writing that he applied on January 17th (1600) a matte polychrome to the first of these four-nail crucifixes he cast. One of the painters whose work was enriched by being able to capture such a sculptural marvel on canvas, was Diego Velázquez, due to family ties, as he was Pacheco's son-in-law. In Anselmo López Morais' article “Crucifijo de Miguel Ángel (Un ejemplar en colección particular de Orense)” (Crucifix by Michelangelo (A specimen in a private collection in Ourense))' the 'two portraits he made in 1620 in Seville of Mother Jerónima de la Fuente (one in the Prado Museum in Madrid and another, where [the crucifix] can be seen clearly, in the Fernández Araoz Collection, also in Madrid)' are mentioned. Precisely this article is very useful in order to contrast similarities between this sculpture and the one mentioned by Michelangelo cast by Franconio. Among other things, it states: "The news from Pacheco was collected by Manuel Gómez-Moreno who, intrigued for a long time by a series of metal images obtained by casting, attributes them, with many doubts, to the Granada sculptor Alonso Cano, but later identifies them as those obtained from the Crucifix by Michelangelo mentioned in the 'Art of Painting'."López Morais continues quoting Gómez-Moreno to define the detailed characteristics of the 22 cm Crucifix: "it imposes by its very sobriety of resources, an imposing start that enlarges such a small work, [and] the body hangs limp, with absolute mass symmetry, as in real life; the head, which is small, falls on the chest and leans slightly to the right; the hands contract, clenched; the left leg crosses over the right, as revealed by Saint Brigid, flattening the calf upon contact, and the foot is deformed by the pressure of the nail; the almost embryonic nature of his virile organs matches a narrowness of hips that gives predominance to the chest over the other members; the belly sinks, and the complexion, emaciated, accentuates bony reliefs rather than muscles, except in the arms where tension makes even the arteries visible, but it is all modelled with unsurpassed delicacy and art." In Spain, there are several known silver or bronze specimens considered to be original castings from Franconio. Originals are found in the Museum of Caminos in Astorga, Palacio de Oriente in Madrid, the Gómez-Moreno Museum in Granada, the Caja de Ahorros de Segovia, the Cathedral of Seville, and the Ducal Palace of Gandía, among others. Some others are unsure whether they were cast from the original or even at that time.The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has a Christ and the two thieves in its collection with the registration number 37.28a–d, and currently attributes authorship for this figure of Christ as based on a model by Michelangelo Buonarroti. The question arises as to whether it was a casting made in Rome, a hypothesis supported by the context of the set, or whether, like ours, it is one of the examples made from Franconio, which is based, according to the MET, on "the quality of modeling and casting, both crisp and fluid, [which] brings it closer to numerous surviving silver copies in Spain".

Viceregal School. Cuzco. Peru. 17th Century."Isaiah's vision"Oil on canvas. Re-stretched.204 x 181 cm.Symbolic and apocalyptic painting about Isaiah's vision of the true God and the seraphim, whose desire is to elevate spirits that are lower in the hierarchy to Him and carry out divine justice.An unusual and curious painting that serves as a biblical and scenographic summary of various texts from the Book of Revelation by John, and others from the prophets Ezekiel or Isaiah. The prophet Isaiah mentions in 6:2: "Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew."In the upper left corner of the painting, we find one of these seraphim, which can only be seen by those who have been elevated to a higher dimension, that is, to a state where heaven opens up to them. Like Isaiah, one of the four Prophets of the Old Testament. The seraphim belong to the highest rank of the angelic hierarchy and are the praisers of God, constantly proclaiming His Holiness.A similar example can be found in Catalonia in the murals of the church of Santa Eulalia at the National Art Museum of Catalonia, where these seraphim, angelic beings that surround God on His throne, are depicted. They can also be found in the art on several Catalan Romanesque apses.Seraphim have the mission of purifying everything around them, so they are destined to protect the holiest places.In the Bible, they are mentioned as a vision of God that Isaiah had in the Temple, where they were singing praise: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."They protect themselves from the light of God by covering their heads with two wings, as they are constantly accompanying the Lord on the throne. For this purpose, and to be able to see the presence of God, they have eyes on their wings and all over their bodies.In the upper right corner, we see Isaiah, who had the vision in which he was taken to the throne of God, where they were (Chapter 6). There, he saw the true King and the seraphim full of ardour and purity, with which they love the divine, desiring to elevate the spirits of lower hierarchy toward God.This seraph with a bull's face (to John, they appear as a lion, a bull, a man, and a flying eagle) "holds a harp" (Revelation 5:8), a symbol of worship and praise in the Old Testament, with which they sing and declare the holiness of God, participating in God's justice, for when He opens the first four seals and unleashes the four horsemen who come to destroy (we see one of these horsemen below in the centre), their voices, powerful as thunder, tell them 'Come' (VENI..., at the beginning of the Latin phylactery lying at the base of the painting) (Revelation 6:1-8). Each rider responds to the call of his seraph, a powerful creature indicating the power he possesses.In summary, this is a painting that symbolically speaks of these beings and Isaiah's vision, an exalted order of angels whose main purpose is worship and who are, in some way, involved in carrying out divine justice.The painting was perhaps created for the refectory or choir of a cloistered religious convent, a place filled with "higher" beings seeking to prostrate and worship the Lamb (Revelation 5:13), beings who cloister their lives to experience the vision of Isaiah up close, to sit on the throne and become the praise, honour, glory, and power of God, forever and ever (Revelation 5:11-12).The painting makes it clear to the beholder that "the Lord is God, and there is no other besides Him.""
Francisco Gomez de Valencia (Granada 1657 - Mexico, first half of the 18th century)"Memento Mori"Oil on burlap. Signed and dated 1681 on the back.140 x 107 cm.An exquisite depiction of the transience of existence, painted by Francisco Gómez de Valencia and dated 1681 on the back of the canvas: "Franc• Gomez fat. año [year] 1681".This Spanish Baroque painter, born in Granada in 1657, was the son of the painter Felipe Gómez de Valencia and followed his father's style as a member of the family workshop, one of the most active Granada workshops in the second half of the 17th century, influenced, like many others of the period, by Alonso Cano, "el Racionero" who was artistically dominant at the time.In 1679, his father passed away, and he took over the workshop until at least 1685, the date of the last documented appearance of the painter in Granada. The oil painting we have here for auction dates from this period.Professors Gloria Espinosa and María Teresa Suárez, in a recent and highly interesting article (2023) in which they reveal new documentary sources about the artist's biography and a previously unknown canvas, conclude that "Francisco Gómez de Valencia must have arrived in Mexico around 1687" and not in 1699, as previously thought in other studies. The painter, after three undocumented years, reappears in 1688 in Mexico City, in a document which reports on his genealogy, previously unknown until the publication of said article. Further information provided by Espinosa and Suárez regarding the Granadan painter is from 1693 when he was appointed Family of the Holy Inquisition, a position that provided economic stability, "in addition to the promotion and social prestige he desired," reasons why he is likely to have left his home town. The last piece of information about Gómez de Valencia, also in New Spain, dates back to 1711 where his delicate health at the age of 54 is documented.Of his probable extensive production, eleven canvases are currently kept in the Museum of Fine Arts of Granada —among them, the "Virgin of Sorrows" and the "Lamentation before Dead Christ," with clear influences from his father, from Flemish painters, and "el Racionero" — and the "Assumption of the Virgin" in the National Museum of San Carlos, Mexico. In addition, we would like to highlight the "Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple," attributed by Raquel Prados in 1999, and another artwork which was unknown until last year when Espinosa and Suárez brought it to light. It is an "Ascension of Christ," which is reproduced in the aforementioned article, and is kept in the National Center for Conservation and Registration of Movable Artistic Heritage of Mexico, where, along with more than five hundred paintings, it had remained shut up in the so-called 'Pandora's Box' for almost half a century. For more information, please refer to the article, which we cite in the bibliography.To these two canvases, we now add the "Memento Mori" presented in this auction, further enriching a catalog that surely has much more to discover. It is essential to note that our painting is dated, unlike most of his corpus, allowing us to place it with total certainty in Granada, as in 1681, as Raquel Prados reports, he "resided in Placeta de Chavarría with his mother, brothers, and Ana de Valencia, his wife." By that time, in fact, our painter had already taken over the family workshop two years earlier and had taken on the commissions that Felipe Gómez de Valencia had left behind orphaned.In this painting we can appreciate the sense of sweetness in colours and an ease in drawing that he inherited from his father. With delicate strokes, he captures a baroque, theatrical scene, almost like a meditation from cell in a convent, in a still life, indoor setting.The human soul or guardian angel reminds a repentant knight of the transience of life, emphasising the vanity of existence. In a room with a bed and canopy, the praying figure is led by the song of the angel, who hints with a pointing hand that nature decomposes, but that the soul can be immortal; it shows him a still life full of symbols: at the centre a skull or skeleton shines, a "memento mori," a reminder that death is inevitable; an hourglass reminds him of the passage of time; it rests on a book, which traditionally alludes to excessive pride in learning. But everything passes.And after these, other objects allude hopefully to the afterlife. The painting has a moralistic message that encourages the viewer to consider their own mortality and how they live their life. This still life compares the vain nature of mortal life with the possibility of eternal life. The Cross is presented as the purpose of his commitment, as well as the rosary that will allow him to live in prayer, and the whip hanging from the table, inviting him to live in penance and mortification.It seems that the painter is devoted to the Virgin Mary, whom he places above, being crowned as Queen and Lady by the Holy Trinity.To conclude, this serene painting does not suggest decay or sadness but carries a legacy of hopeful aspirations beyond life itself.
