”TRAVELLERS”. OIL ON CANVAS. SIGNED “A. BRIONES”. 20TH CENTURY.

“Gypsies”. Oil on canvas. Signed “A. Briones”. 20th century. Oil on canvas showing a natural landscape in the background, barely sketched, to give prominence to the figures moving forward in the foreground. The man on the right carries a staff on his shoulders and a series of items, and is accompanied by a bear cub. In the centre, a woman walks with a stick on her shoulder, leading a mount loaded with more objects and some children by the reins. The painting shows a family of gypsies on their way to a show in which they would use the bear cub. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, the artistic image of gypsies was stereotyped and very scarce, with some engravings, tapestries and paintings such as “Landscape with Gypsies” by David Teniers III in the Prado Museum (inv. Poo1818). The 19th century was the moment of the emergence of the gypsy motif in the visual arts, due to the interest of foreign artists attracted by the “exotic” nature of these people, exhibiting what they considered to be their most folkloric features, especially highlighting works by Fortuny and Sorolla. This work aims to focus on the particularities of the Gypsy people, but without limiting itself to their stereotypes, clearly showing the harshness of their life and the loneliness that it brought with it. Technically, it can be seen its relationship with new contributions that appeared in French painting since the end of the 19th century. Thematically, it is reminiscent of works of social realism (a pictorial movement that appeared in France towards the middle of the 19th century).

THE SACRIFICE OF THE OLD COVENANT. OIL ON BOARD. 17TH CENTURY, AFTER R...

Sacrifice of the Mosaic Law. Oil on copper. 17th century, inspired by Rubens, Peter Paul (Siegen, 1577-Antwerp, 1640). Oil on panel depicting a figurative scene located in a building of great importance due to the columns shown. To the right, an altar with a priest, a sacrificed lamb, and bread on a table. In the center, a kneeling man offers another lamb. Towards the left, a crowd gathers around the Ark of the Covenant, above which is a crown held by two angels. When the Lord chose the children of Israel as His people, He established through Moses the worship that was to be given to Him, distinguishing between bloody and unbloody sacrifices. This work addresses this theme, depicting an altar with bloody sacrifices and the Ark of the Covenant. This work is somewhat loosely inspired by a work by Peter Paul Rubens (Siegen, 1577–Antwerp, 1640). It is one of the tapestries that make up the series known as The Triumph of the Eucharist (manufactured by Jan Il Raes, Hans Vervoert, and Jacques Fobert, c. 1625–33, wool and silk, 490 x 670 cm, National Heritage Madrid, Monastery of the Descalzas Reales, inv. no. 00614220). The original handwritten sketch by Rubens, dated around 1626, is held at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (USA).

Bad job. Watercolor. Signed in the lower left corner. José de San Bartolomé was a Spanish painter and sculptor who worked in the studio of the photographer Herbert from childhood and began his training at the School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid, continuing his studies at the Higher School of Painting at the Academy of San Fernando, while copying works by the masters of the Prado. In 1886 he settled in Paris, devoting himself mainly to genre painting in the wake of Fortuny, a theme that enjoyed great commercial success. He met Francisco Domingo, who opened the doors to the Buenos Aires market for him, where he received important commissions for painting and sculpture. He was Secretary of the Society of Artists of Paris, in 1894 he was named a knight of the Order of Charles III, in 1901 of the Legion of Honour and, in 1902, a commander of the Order of Isabel la Católica. At the beginning of the century he returned to Spain, and devoted himself mainly to portraiture, although he also painted landscapes and popular subjects. He enjoyed the protection of royalty, as evidenced by the portraits he painted of Queen Maria Cristina and various figures of the court. In 1925, the Paris Salon paid him a posthumous tribute with an exhibition of his work held in France. Works by Llaneces are preserved in the Prado Museum, the Pablo Sarasate Museum in Pamplona and in the Spanish embassy in Paris.

PAIR OF FRAMED MINIATURES

Pair of 19th century miniatures. “Portrait of a Lady” and “Portrait of a Gentleman”. With illegible signature. Carved and gilded wooden frames. Pair of miniature portraits, representing a lady and a gentleman from the 19th century, surrounded by magnificent carved and gilded wooden frames, of Baroque inspiration, based on curled acanthus leaves. Miniature painting, especially portraits, developed in Europe from the 16th century onwards. These were mainly paintings fitted into objects such as medallions, table clocks or small boxes. They were produced using a wide variety of techniques, such as oil on copper, tin or ivory, washes on parchment or cardboard and, from the 18th century, watercolours on ivory. This delicate art was lost from the second half of the 19th century, in parallel with the development of photography.

NORTHEUROPEAN LANDSCAPE WITH RUINS, AFTER 17TH-CENTURY STYLE. OIL ON B...

“Northern European landscape with ruins”, 17th century style. Oil on panel. Early 20th century. Rural landscape with a watercourse, a stone bridge and a ruined house, set among trees, enlivened by the presence of a person and with no apparent theme, inspired by Baroque works from Northern Europe. Given their popularity at the time, this type of painting was revived from the 19th century onwards, inspired by important Baroque works from both the Flemish and Dutch schools, having already moved beyond the detail of almost all 16th century landscapes of presenting a historical or biblical subject (which was often downplayed). Between the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century, landscape painting gained great popularity in the Netherlands, with masters specialising in the genre proliferating.

Bullfighting scene. Oil on canvas. Signed (bottom left corner). GONZÁLEZ MARCOS, Ángel (Madrid, 1900 – 1978). A master of impressionist painting, Ángel González focused on bullfighting from his youth. He portrayed these themes from a tragic point of view, the drama starring the bull, the absolute starting point, and not the bullfighter. His work captures the rhythm of the movements of man and animal, the different phases of the bullfight, the energy, the liveliness and the colour with great immediacy and dynamism, reflecting bullfighting in all its splendour, without ever forgetting the expressive function of the bull and the bullfighter. He exhibited in Spain, Mexico and Peru, and is currently represented in various museums in Spain, as well as in New York, Lima, Bogotá, Caracas, Paris, Lisbon, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo and Rome.
