BANDIT AND MILITARY, PAIR. OIL ON BOARD. LUCAS VILLAAMIL, EUGENIO (185...

Bandit and soldier, couple. Oil paintings on panels. LUCAS VILLAAMIL, Eugenio (Madrid, 1858-1919). They present signature and remains of signature. The present pair of panels shows, on a blue background, two male busts. Despite their detail and naturalism, they are not portraits per se, but rather “paintings of types”, showing the concept that was held at the time of a bandit or a general, in line with certain postulates common in Spanish Romanticism. Eugenio Lucas Villaamil began his training with his father, Eugenio Lucas Velázquez, and continued at the Escuela Especial de Pintura in Madrid. His work was notable for largely following his father's line, with a strong Goya influence in both style and subject matter (he also copied some of Goya's paintings), and he was a protégé of José Lázaro Galdiano. Thus, in addition to his traditional Madrid, bullfights, etc., he was also known for his portraits, his urban prints (of the upper and lower classes), etc. His work is preserved in numerous private collections and institutions such as the Museo del Prado (Madrid), the Museo Carmen Thyssen (Málaga), the Museo Lázaro Galdiano (Madrid), the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (Madrid), the Museo Nacional del Romanticismo (Madrid), etc.

SILVER SHELL. GARCÍA REINA, MANUEL. TOLEDO, SPAIN, CIRCA 1730-1741

Baptismal shell. Silver in its colour. GARCÍA REINA, Manuel. Toledo, Spain, circa 1730-1751. With contrast marks, it is missing. A shell made of silver in its colour, with naturalistic details, and a top with a cartouche (on which there is an engraved element) and a simplified vegetal shape on one side (it is missing the symmetry to this). The contrasting marks are found in what would be the “ears” or “earlets”. A numerical mark can be seen on the outside. On the inside, hallmarks can be seen that identify the piece as having been made in the Spanish city of Toledo, when Diego Rodríguez de Lezama (or Lizana) was working as a hallmark, to whom the mark on the other ear belongs. The third mark, located under the location mark, identifies the piece as being made by Manuel García Reina, who was born around 1706 in Colmenar Viejo and trained in Madrid with Juan Löpez Sopuerta. He settled in Toledo around 1730, where he furthered his studies with Manuel Vargas Machuca, entering San Eloy in 1733. He was an approver in 1747 and 1755, and it is known that he had a shop since at least 1743 and is documented until 1772. Diego Rodríguez de Lizana or de Lezana was born in Bargas (Toledo) and trained with Juan de Jarauta, joining the Brotherhood of San Eloy de Toledo in 1699. He was an approver of the guild in 1715 and 1718, and worked as a contrast between around 1730 and his death in 1751 or 1754. His works are preserved in San Pedro Mártir, in the parish church of Miguelturra (Ciudad Real), in the cathedral of Lérida, etc. His work is preserved in Santo Domingo el Real, some cruets in the museum of Santa Cruz de Toledo, the parish of los Yébenes, etc. Weight: 98 grams.

ORNAMENTAL MIRROR WITH CREST, 18TH CENTURY.

Cornucopia with prominent crest in carved and gilded wood, 18th century. A cornucopia with a rectangular mirror inside, its frame adorned with simple moldings (some concave, some straight, and some convex) without exaggerated movement, and on the outside, delicate garlands of flowers. The prominent upper crest stands out, composed of rocaille, curved moldings, flowers, and a vase. This work is of great interest because, while the simple lines mentioned above are more characteristic of Neoclassical styles, other elements (rocaille, concave and convex moldings, movement, decorative exuberance, etc.) are characteristic of the Rococo style. Both artistic styles coexisted in 18th-century Spain. It requires cleaning and minor restorations.

BRONZE “WOUNDED FIGHTING BULL”.

Bronze sculpture, “Wounded Bull”. Signed “F. Bonilla Villalba” on the base. On a wooden base stands the figure of a bull after the final stages of the bullfight, depicting the banderillas and the kill, as evidenced by the elements used in both: three banderillas and the sword. Thanks to the artist's exceptional skill, one can appreciate both the moment when the bull is about to die and bellows, and the blood flowing from its wounds. The drama is heightened by the unique treatment of the animal's hide.

SILVER “TEMBLADERA” (CUP). JUAN MONTERO, SALAMANCA, SPAIN, 18TH CENTUR...

Trembladera. Silver. Juan Ignacio Montero, Salamanca, 18th century. With contrast markings. Silver trembler in its natural color, smooth on the outside, decorated with two inverted "S" shaped handles adorned with external spikes. At the base of the piece are four hallmarks (flanking the hallmark line), which place the piece's creation in Salamanca (note the bull), with the involvement of Juan Ignacio Montero; two other hallmarks are also present, but they were not made. Juan Ignacio Montero was a silversmith and hallmarker, and the hallmark seen here appears to date from surviving works dated between 1759 and 1779, such as a reliquary altarpiece in the Parish Church of San Lorenzo in Segovia (by Manuel Cardeñosa, dated 1767). He is known to have served as a hallmarker in Salamanca between 1758 and 1781 and to have been active until 1779. He used a hallmark that included dates for the year, although sometimes the same mark was used in several years. Weight: 70 g.

BRONZE BULL. AFTER BENLLIURE, MARIANO (1862-1947).

Bull. Bronze. Based on the model by BENLLIURE GIL, Mariano (Valencia 1862-Madrid, 1947). Mariano Benlliure was a Spanish sculptor, a precocious creator both in the field of painting and sculpture. He trained in Valencia, Madrid, Paris, Rome, etc., and his name became famous, more or less, when he settled in Madrid in 1887, obtaining a First Medal at the National Exhibition of that year. His healthy financial situation allowed him to have a great social life, meeting prominent figures of the time. He produced numerous religious, civil and funerary works (Cabra, Madrid, Seville, Navarra, etc.), and his work is preserved in important private collections and institutions.

POWDER HORN. SPAIN, 19TH CENTURY.

Powder keg. Engraved horn, rope, cork. Spain, 19th century. A container for storing gunpowder made from a cow horn and decorated on the outside with a series of figurative, geometric and vegetal engravings and inscriptions enhanced with dark or black ink or dye. The decoration is arranged in horizontal bands, with some elements enhanced with “frames” of crossed lines, and one can clearly see Latin crosses, floral elements, a coiled snake, various human figures (note in particular the male figures at the top, with firearms), quadrupeds, birds, fish and inscriptions in capital letters (names such as Manuel, intertwined initials...). Also known as “horns”, these types of vessels were usually made not by skilled and specialised workers, but by shepherds, ranchers, etc., using their own names, important elements from their area or for themselves, or motifs of great tradition in a certain area in their decoration. Compare this with the one by Pedro Doncel, dated 1855 and preserved in the Museum of Olivenza (Spain), or the one from 1883 in the Museo del Traje in Madrid (Spain).
