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.
