JUAN BAUTISTA DE GUZMÁN (Granada, 1850 - Barcelona, 1898)."Flamenca, 1892.Oil on panel.Signed and dated in the lower right corner.Size: 38.5 x 21 cm; 59 x 39.5 cm (frame).Representative of the Andalusian costumbrismo, Juan Bautista de Guzmán specialised in popular scenes of bullfighters, peasants, taverns and courtyards of Granada. On this occasion he offers us a scene set in a porticoed street. The protagonist, a lady dressed in a flamenco dress and draped in a Manila shawl, looks directly at the viewer in a jovial, casual attitude. Costumbrista genre painting was a characteristic exponent of Andalusian folklore during the period of the emergence of Romanticism and 19th-century Orientalism. Traditionally, Spanish painting and literature have been interested in popular customs and types. The arrival of Romanticism enlivened this trend, bringing to the Hispanic tradition the vision that foreigners had of our people, due to the snobbery of a Europeanising and liberal national bourgeoisie which, also due to foreign influence and under the Romantic fashion, turned its eyes to the people and monuments of the past. This, which was general throughout Spain, was particularly prevalent in Andalusia, as this land was the dream destination of foreigners, and where the influence of the vision they had of the Spaniards and their peculiar customs had to be felt most strongly.Juan Bautista de Guzmán Orante was a Spanish painter born in Granada but settled in Malaga as a child. The Malaga painter Leoncio Talavera passed on his love of painting to him. He painted his first picture by copying a painting by his friend Talavera. In 1879 he took part in the Cadiz Exhibition, winning a silver medal, and in 1881 he exhibited his works at the National Exhibition in Madrid. After settling in Barcelona, he took part with two paintings in the Fine Arts Exhibition of the Catalan capital in 1888 and 1891 with "Garden", "A Wrong Way", "A Hungarian Family Begging for Charity", "A Burro muerto la barley al rabo" and "Sensibility", as well as in the 1896 edition.
Andalusian school; 19th century."Saint Raphael".Carved, polychromed and gilded wood.It conserves the beacon of the period.Measurements: 45,5 x 19 x 15 (without crown); 53 cm (height with base); 65 cm (height with fanal).Devotional sculpture made of wood which stands out for its polychrome colouring. The image represents Saint Raphael, which can be deduced from the iconographic attributes that he holds in his hands: the pilgrim's staff and the fish, as well as the silver border that is placed on the foot. The foot is gilded and richly carved, with realistic decorative elements simulating flowers on the upper part. Above the foot is a rock-shaped base on which two small, seated little angels rest, and in the centre is an upright figure of the Archangel. The piece stands out for the finesse of its carving, which can be appreciated in the dynamism achieved by the artist through the posture of Saint Raphael, and the movement of his garments, with the mantle fluttering over the chest of the main figure standing out.Saint Raphael is one of the seven archangels who stands before the throne of God. He is known as the healing archangel, due to his divine intervention with the character Tobias, whom he healed of blindness. He is often depicted with a fishing rod, next to a fish or with the pilgrims' staff, an attribute that identifies him as the patron saint of travellers, since, with his help, he guides spiritual journeys in the search for truth and knowledge.
LUIS ARCAS BRAUNER (Valencia, 1934 - Cambridge, United Kingdom, 1989)."Villarluengo", 1970.Oil on canvas.Signed and dated in the lower left corner.Measurements: 91 x 135 cm; 95.5 x 140 cm (frame).A landscape painter, although he also tackled portraits and still lifes, Luis Arcas began his training at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Carlos in Valencia, where he also did complementary studies in engraving. He furthered his studies with the Pensión de Paisaje de El Paular (1953), and completed his training a year later. He subsequently obtained a painting pension from the Caja de Ahorros de Valencia (1958), a grant to study in Paris from the Albert-Álvarez Foundation (1958) and a grant from the Casa Velázquez awarded by the French Government and the Valencia City Council (1966). In 1974 he won the chair of life drawing at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, and four years later he was appointed member of the Royal Academy of San Carlos. He was also a founding member of the group Arte Actual. He won numerous prizes throughout his career, including the silver medal at the 13th University Art Exhibition in 1952, the Extraordinary National Prize at the Fifth National Fine Arts Competition in Alicante in 1956, an honourable mention at the Sixth Autumn Salon of the Ateneo Mercantil in Valencia in 1960 and the prize awarded by the Diputación de La Coruña at the National Fine Arts Exhibition held in Barcelona that same year. Between 1954 and 1973 he showed his work in numerous exhibitions, both individual and collective, and among the latter it is worth mentioning for its importance the one entitled "75 Years of Valencian Painting", organised by the Valencia City Council in 1975. He also took part in the National Exhibitions in Madrid in 1954, 1960 and 1976, the Spanish-American Biennial in Barcelona in 1955, the Biennial of Spanish Contemporary Art in Paris and others. Likewise, the Caja de Ahorros de Valencia dedicated a retrospective exhibition to him entitled "Thirty years of professional life". Luis Arcas held individual exhibitions in Spain, France and Argentina.
