Cockatoo. Framed watercolor. Twentieth century. Watercolor showing a cockatoo (possibly sulphurous) perched on a stone bench and picking up a cherry with one of its paws. Due to its detail and composition, the work is reminiscent of the 19th century engravings that appeared in zoology volumes (compare the work of Edward Lear, for example), although it is necessary to also cite the painting titled “Collection of Animals” by Melchior d'Hondecoeter (circa 1960) which is preserved in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

“Northern European landscape with ruins”, in the style of the 17th century. Oil on table. Early 20th century. Rural landscape with a stream, a stone bridge and a house in ruins, located among trees, animated by the presence of a person and with no apparent theme, inspired by baroque works from Northern Europe. Given the popularity they had at the time, this type of painting was taken up again from the 19th century, inspired by important works of the Baroque, both from the Flemish and Dutch schools, already past the detail of almost all the landscapes of the 16th century to present a matter of history or the Bible (which was minimized on numerous occasions). Between the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century, landscape painting became very popular in the Netherlands, and master specialists in the genre proliferated.

Scenery. Painting on framed oval glass. XIX century. The landscape presents an important lake or watercourse, surrounded by high hills and forests, with houses, some castle ruins and several small characters with hardly any detail animating and bringing life to the composition. Although it could be reminiscent of the older landscape tradition in some details, in the treatment and in other elements it is possible to link it with innovations in 19th century painting.

“Gypsies”. Oil on canvas. Signed "A. Briones”. Twentieth century. Oil on canvas showing a natural landscape in the background, barely sketched, to give prominence to the figures that are advancing in the foreground. The man, on the right, carries a cane on his shoulders and a series of items, as well as being accompanied by a baby bear. In the center, a woman walks with a rod on her shoulder, leading by the reins a mount loaded with more objects and some children. The painting shows a family of gypsies, on their way somewhere with a show in which they would use the cub. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, the artistic image of gypsies is stereotyped and very scarce, with some engravings, tapestry and paintings such as the “Landscape with gypsies” by David Teniers III from the Prado Museum (inv. Poo1818). The 19th century would be the moment of the emergence of the gypsy motif in the plastic arts, given the interest of foreign artists attracted by the "exotic" of these people, exposing what they considered their most folkloric features, especially highlighting works by Fortuny and Sorolla. This work aims to influence the particularities of the gypsy people, but without being left alone in their stereotypes, clearly showing the harshness of their life and the loneliness that it brought with it. Technically, its relationship with novel contributions that appeared in French painting since the end of the 19th century can be appreciated. Thematically, it is reminiscent of works of social realism (a pictorial movement that appeared in France around the middle of the 19th century).

Gentleman. Oil on canvas. Dedicated, signed (F. Lloret.) and dated (1897) in the lower left corner. On an indeterminate background, the bust of the knight is placed, his face slightly turned to the right. In the lower left corner, the dedication appears (“To Porfirio / his friend”), the painter's signature and the date of completion of the work (“F/97”). As in the rest of Europe, portraiture was a genre that enjoyed great popularity in 19th century Spain, mainly thanks to social changes (rise of the upper bourgeoisie, etc.) that influenced aesthetics, hence the degree of intimacy that the painting gives off, different from the “official portraits” preferred by the nobility.

Framed miniature. The miniature represents a young woman conversing with a man of a certain age in a garden that is only alluded to by a flowering branch that could be an almond or cherry tree. The influence of the ancient Arab miniature in this work is clear, but there is also an idealization that can be related to the taste for the exotic that flooded art in the 19th century and that was reflected in works of landscape themes and scenes considered typical of the Arab world through Europe.

Entrance to the House of the Faun in Pompeii (Italy). Oil on canvas. Attributed to VERA BLASCO ESTACA, Alejo (Viñuelas, Guadalajara, 1834-Madrid, 1923). Towards the end of the 19th century. Signed in the lower right corner. The present oil painting shows one of the sides of one of the entrances (maws) of what is known as the House of the Faun in the Italian city of Pompeii, with the remains of Roman art that would be visible at the point towards the end of the 19th century, before the damage caused by the bombings of 1943. Alejo Vera Blasco was a Spanish painter who trained at the Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid and attending the classes of Federico Madrazo. Thanks to the banker Miranda, he was able to move to Italy to expand his studies, being marked by the Roman archaeological remains he saw, especially the city of Pompeii (of whose houses and works he made numerous sketches, notes, etc.). He was also a pensioner at the Spanish Academy in Rome between 1878 and 1881. He later worked as a teacher (Special School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving of Madrid, etc.), in addition to creating works that are currently preserved in some private collections and in institutions such as the Prado Museum in Madrid, the Museum of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, the Museum of Fine Arts in Badajoz, etc. He was appointed director of the Spanish Academy of Fine Arts in Rome in 1891, and a full academician of the Royal Academy of San Fernando in 1892.
