Circle of IL GUERCINO (Cento, Italy, 1591-Bologna, 1666); second half of the 18th century."Penitent St. Jerome."Oil on canvas. Preserves original canvas.Presents repainting and restorations.It has frame of the twentieth century.Measurements: 114 x 91 cm; 119 x 96 cm (frame).In this canvas the theme of penitent Saint Jerónimo is approached, through a classic composition, in which the author arranges the saint in a sober interior, in which any anecdotal detail that could cloud the message of transmission of the Christian faith and devotion is eliminated. One of the four great Doctors of the Latin Church, St. Jerome was born near Aquileia (Italy) in 347. Trained in Rome, he was an accomplished rhetorician and polyglot. Baptized at the age of nineteen, between 375 and 378 he retired to the Syrian desert to lead an anchorite's life. He returned to Rome in 382 and became a collaborator of Pope Damasus. One of the most frequent representations of this saint is his penance in the desert. His attributes are the stone he uses to beat his chest and the skull on which he meditates. Also the cardinal's cape (or a red mantle), although he was never a cardinal, and the tamed lion. The latter comes from a story of the "Golden Legend", where it is narrated that one day, when he was explaining the Bible to the monks of his convent, he saw a lion coming with a limp. He removed the thorn from its paw, and from then on he kept it in his service, instructing it to look after his donkey while it grazed. Some merchants stole the donkey, and the lion recovered it, returning it to the saint without hurting the animal.Due to its technical characteristics, it is possible to relate this piece to the artistic circle of Guercino, who was one of the most acclaimed Italian artists in the first half of the 17th century. He was born in the town of Cento, in the province of Ferrara. The main influences that shaped his style were the Bolognese; Ludovico Carracci, his cousin Anibal Carracci and the Ferrarese Ippolito Scarsella. Apart from a two-year stay in Rome during the papacy of the Bolognese Gregorio XV Ludovisi, he was active in his hometown until 1642 when he moved to neighboring Bologna. He was about twenty-five years old when he came to the attention of his first important clients, among them Cardinal Alessandro Ludovisi, Archbishop of Bologna; Cardinal Jacopo Serra, papal legate in Ferrara; Grand Duke Cosimo II of Tuscany; and Duke Ferdinand Gonzaga of Mantua. By the mid-1620s he had turned down invitations to work outside Italy, from Charles I of England among others. He seems to have been reluctant to enter into direct competition with his Bolognese rivals, especially Guido Reni, who from about 1610 was the most celebrated painter in Italy. Most of his abundant output consists of altar and easel paintings, but in the first half of his career he also painted frescoes in Cento, Bologna, Rome (the Aurora on the ceiling of the Casino Ludovisi) and the cathedral of Piacenza (1626-1627). His early style, "tenebrist", is characterized by dramatic lighting, saturated colors and agitated compositions. His stay in Rome led him to gradually modify his style towards a much more idealized and classical language, with calmer and more structured compositions, more elegant contours, a palette generally lighter and richer in pastel tones.

Comète came from the collection of Dorothea Tanning, the artist's second wife after his short marriage to Peggy Guggenheim in the early 1940s. The work references Ernst's keen interest in astrology, which is seen in his oeuvre as early as 1909. Moving to Arizona in 1945, the clear, starry night skies of the Sedona desert served to reinvigorate his fascination for the celestial and prompted a transformative stage in his art.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Peter Romney (1743-1777) - Portrait of Thomas Chesterton aged 29, signed, dated and inscribed on the canvas backing (Peter Romney Pin[xt] Septr 10 AD [-] Thos Chesterton aetatis suae 29, pastel, oval, 44 x 35.5cm Provenance: Sir James Whittaker of Babworth Hall, Retford, Nottinghamshire from whom acquired by the late husband of the present vendor on 14 June 1963 Neil Jeffares has kindly commented on the present work (on the basis of images) points out that surviving autograph examples of the work of George Romney's younger brother Peter, is "very rare". Furthermore, the attributions to him made by R R M See are not reliable. The sitter was an ancestor of G K Chesterton (1874-1936) and may be identified with the Thomas Chesterton who was baptised at Chevely on 14 February 1755, son of John and Temperance Chesterton. He married Ann (or Annette) Laval (date unknown) and the couple had several children in the 1790's, one of whom was named Henry Laval Chesterton. Thomas Chesterton may possibly be the haberdasher of Berkeley Square, London who was bankrupt in 1789 but might also be another Thomas Chesterton who died in London in 1809. The absence of the year from Romney's inscription proves that the work was originally somewhat larger, presumably rectangular. On the assumption that the sitter has been correctly identified, the date of execution would have been 1774 Small close tear upper right
