Lot 103
Spanish school, following models by LUIS EGIDIO MELÉNDEZ (Naples, 1716 - Madrid, 1780); circa 1800."Couple of still lifes".Oil on canvas.Sizes: 51 x 37 cm (x2); 60 x 46 cm (frames, x2).Both still lifes, which differ slightly from each other, present an identical pictorial conception. Aesthetically, the author has taken the Baroque tradition as his starting point, arranging the elements on a flat surface, using a frontal perspective and playing with the different levels or heights of the composition. The lighting also has certain tenebrist reminiscences, as in both canvases the artist presents us with dark compositions with very well-defined focal points of light. Because of all these characteristics, we can relate this still life to the production of Luis Egidio Meléndez, a continuator of the brilliant Hispanic work of the 17th century and the author of magnificent still lifes, a genre which was his speciality, although he also worked on figure subjects. A Spanish painter born in Italy, he was the son of Francisco Antonio, the miniaturist, and the nephew of Miguel Jacinto, the portraitist. He began his education in Madrid with his father and later attended the classes of the Preparatory Board of the San Fernando Academy, where he was a pupil of Louis-Michel van Loo. His father's expulsion from the board led to his dismissal from academic studies, so the young Meléndez made a trip to Italy to continue his training. On his return to Spain he initially worked as a miniaturist, but he developed his preponderant role in still life painting, becoming one of the most outstanding still-life painters in the history of the genre and undoubtedly the most brilliant in 18th-century Spain. In fact, he is represented in the most important art galleries all over the world, including the Prado and Louvre museums. Meléndez was an expert in the treatment of surfaces, showing an extraordinary ability to give an idea of the qualities of things: fruit, dead animals, ceramics, glass, cork, textiles, metals and stone. Although in some canvases he introduces a landscape background that brings them closer to the Neapolitan still life, most of his works are similar in form and concept to the one presented here, with various elements arranged in a clear structure on the surface of a table placed parallel to the lower edge of the painting, set against a dark background that is directly linked to the Spanish 17th-century masters. A master of expressive force and almost a magician of technique, Meléndez reflects, in his desire for accuracy, the principles of the Enlightenment world in his application to describe the elements in a manner that can be understood as didactic. We can find similar characteristics to those of this still life in works by Meléndez such as "Still Life with Cucumbers, Tomatoes and Containers", "Still Life with Two Partridges, Onions, Garlic and Vessels" or "Still Life with Salmon" (Prado), among others.
Lot 134
Christ Crucified; Limoges workshop, 12th-13th century.Copper.Part of the enamel is preserved.It shows losses and cracks.Measurements: 15.5 x 12 cm.Devotional sculpture made of copper, representing the body of Christ on the cross, although this is not preserved. The piece presents a triumphant figure of Christ, as he is awake and crowned as king of heaven. The Limoges workshop appeared in the last quarter of the 12th century and continued its activity until the 14th century. It flourished again in the 15th century with the new technique of painted enamel. It became the most important enamel workshop, ahead of the Rhineland and Meuse, which disappeared in the 12th century and were dedicated to the production of individual plates on commission, which were then mounted on an object or joined together to form altar frontals. In Limoges, on the other hand, the production of objects, no longer just plaques, decorated with enamels for religious, but also secular use, began to take off. They were cheaper, copper-based pieces, and very attractive because of the enamelled decoration, which made them a huge and immediate success throughout Europe. Limoges is also mentioned in documents, indicating that it was an important centre known throughout Western Europe. One of the distinguishing characteristics of Limoges is its very shallow bottom dragging, which does not go beyond two or three millimetres. To depict detail, such fine partitioning is used that it can only be distinguished from the excavated one by close observation through a magnifying glass. In Limoges, the enamels are applied according to the client's taste, filling only the background, only the figures, or both. As for the colour range, he used that of the Meuse workshops, which was very varied, but added new colours, such as olive green, a light greyish blue or white for the flesh tones.
Lot 135
Spanish school, 17th century."Virgin of the Annunciation".Oil on canvas.Relined.Frame from the 19th century.Defects in the frame.Annotation on the back: "Restoration in 1887".Measurements: 64,3 x 59 cm; 88 x 73 cm (frame).In front of a golden background that radiates the Marian halo, the Virgin of the Annunciation is the protagonist of this devotional scene, trying to arouse compassion with her tender and idealised face, and her hands joined in prayer. Her figure, depicted half-length, acquires a sculptural volume thanks to a typically Baroque luminous modelling. The Virgin wears a rictus of wonder, as is usual in scenes of the Annunciation, alluding to the appearance of the archangel Gabriel bringing her the good news. The Virgin is dressed, as is customary, in a Roman style, with a red tunic, although the tonality tends towards pink and a blue cloak, colours that have a great iconographic charge, since, associated with the Virgin's clothing, they allude to passion and universality. The clothes have been treated with dynamic, naturalistic folds, with soft, undulating forms. As for the lighting, the piece has a spotlight that falls directly on Mary's face, a resource that is enhanced by the use of a light tone for the skin and the brightness of the yellow colour of the surroundings.
