17th century Flemish school."Saint Francis of Padua in prayer".Oil on canvas.Size: 39 x 56 cm; 56 x 74 cm (frame).Image of St. Francis of Paola in prayer in a steep grotto, together with other hermits who appear in the background. To the right of the saint rises a rocky surface that acts as a table, holding various objects: a crucifix, a skull, an hourglass (the latter two elements could be understood as an allusion to the passage of time) and a bowl, among others. This is a completely narrative scene, determined by the painter's skill, who portrays the figures with detail and precision. Francis of Paola (1416-1507) was an Italian hermit and founder of the Order of Minims. At a very young age he began his life as a hermit on the outskirts of his native town of Paula. Gradually he became famous for his wonders, and around 1450 there was already a group of followers around him. His community grew, and in 1470 the Congregation of Hermits (the future Order of Minims) received diocesan approval from the archbishop of Consenza. Four years later, Pope Sixtus IV granted them pontifical approval. In 1483, Francis of Paola went to France by order of the Pope and at the request of King Louis XI. There, he carried out some diplomatic work on behalf of the Holy See, while at the same time trying to obtain approval from the latter for a Rule for his congregation, which he finally obtained in 1493.
Spanish school, 17th century."Amphitrite emerging from the water".Oil on canvas.New stretcher. New bands.Measurements: 73 x 102 cm; 85 x 113,5 cm (frame).In this mythological scene belonging to the Spanish Baroque we can appreciate a certain Flemish influence in the way of resolving the landscape, with a dreamlike character. The woman wearing a crown and riding a sea horse (this was the way of representing tritons that painters such as Poussin used to choose) probably represents Amphitrite, the wife of Poseidon. A knight with a long beard and clad in shining armour contemplates the beauty of the young woman emerging from the sea. The presence of Eros intervening with his poisoned arrow of love emphasises the interpretation of the scene as the representation of an amorous rapture, an instantaneous crush brought about by this unexpected vision. In front of the figure, a number of valuable gold objects are displayed on a table. Another figure, hidden in the foliage, also gazes at the young woman. The mythological theme retains its mystery, with references to various Greek episodes narrated by Heraclitus and Ovid. The palette of shades of emerald blue, ochre and gold stands out. The ensemble immerses us in a dreamlike setting, to which the rich chromatic palette contributes, in which subtle gradations of blue and emerald dialogue with glimpses of gold and shades of bronze. The space has been worked on different levels, allowing the viewer's gaze to intermingle with the foliage until it reaches the misty cadences of the horizon.
17th-century Dutch school. Circle of WILLEM KALF (Rotterdam, 1619-Amsterdam, 1693)."Still Life with Fruit.Oil on panel.Size: 27.5 x 22 cm; 44 x 43 cm (frame).Due to its technical and formal characteristics, the present work can be related to the circle of Willem Kalf, one of the most important Dutch still life painters of all times. It is a small work, faithful to his style, captured in the foreground, in which few but select objects stand out on a table against a dark background. As in many of Kalf's works, there is almost always a bone china bowl, often tilted so that the fruit falls out of it. Willem Kalf was born in Rotterdam in 1619. He was previously thought to have been born in 1622, but research conducted by the archive of H. van Gelder established the painter's correct place and date of birth. In the late 1630s Willem Kalf travelled to Paris and spent time in the circle of Flemish artists in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris. In Paris, he painted mainly small-scale rustic interiors and still lifes. Kalf's rustic interiors are usually dominated by groups of vegetables, buckets, pots and pans, which are arranged in the foreground (e.g. Kitchen Still Life, Dresden, Gemäldegal, Alte Meister). The figures usually appeared in the blurred darkness of the background. Although painted in Paris, paintings of traditional works in Flanders in the early 17th century, by artists such as David Teniers the Younger. The only indication of the Flemish origin of the paintings is that Flemish exponents of the same genre would not have been depicted in their works. The rustic interiors of the calves had a great influence on French art in the circle of the Le Nain brothers. The semi-monochrome still lifes that Calf created in Paris from a link to the banquet or "small banquet pieces" by Pieter Claesz, Willem Claeszoon Heda and others in the 1630s. During the 1640s, Calf further developed the bench into a novel form of sumptuous and ornate still lifes (known as show still life), depicting rich groups of gold and silver vessels. Like other lives of this period, these paintings often expressed vanitas allegories. Kalf's still-life paintings vary little in their structure, and most of them actually present the same objects. There is crockery, with gold and silver vessels, many of which have been identified as goldsmiths, such as Johannes Lutma, and many of which have been identified as goldsmiths.
