Bartolome Sastre
Bartolome Estades Sastre, called Tomeo by his friends, currently resides in Palma de Mallorca. He was in one of the last graduating classes of the Mediterranean School of Arts headed by Joaquin Torrents Llado. He also studied with the Catalan painter Charles Got.
Having more than 20 shows to his credit, the most important thing to Sastre is not the show but the finished work. Showing his finished products is the part of being an artist that Sastre loves. His work was received with critical acclaim by way of a silver medal in 1985 in Palma's Salon de Otono exhibition and circa 1991 a prize known as "Tall de Vermadors de Binissalem." He was also selected to show his work in the biannual Paintings of Baleares.
In Sastre's work we perceive something more than mere nostalgia, but a sensation of the immediate. The subject of choice, Mallorca and the Mediterranean, is what Sastre captures in his works. Something that pertains to his life like a palpable reality: the Mallorca that Adam Diehl imagines in the garden of the Fomentor Hotel; the Mallorca that Robert Graces and Adam Silltoe yearned for in the unending evening vigils of wine and poetry; the Mallorca that Jorge Luis Borges dreamed of as he wrote his poetry from the Grand Hotel. It is a pleasure to view Sastre's thoroughly explored landscape paintings that harmonize nature's darks and lights. The allurement of the mirror quality he gives his reflections brings a calm over the senses; a fleeting moment captured in oil.

- Portrait of a Lady with a ChiqueadorLocated in New York, NYProvenance: Torres Family Collection, Asunción, Paraguay, ca. 1967-2017 While the genre of portraiture flourished in the New World, very few examples of early Spanish colonial portraits have survived to the present day. This remarkable painting is a rare example of female portraiture, depicting a member of the highest echelons of society in Cuzco during the last quarter of the 17th century. Its most distinctive feature is the false beauty mark (called a chiqueador) that the sitter wears on her left temple. Chiqueadores served both a cosmetic and medicinal function. In addition to beautifying their wearers, these silk or velvet pouches often contained medicinal herbs thought to cure headaches. This painting depicts an unidentified lady from the Creole elite in Cuzco. Her formal posture and black costume are both typical of the established conventions of period portraiture and in line with the severe fashion of the Spanish court under the reign of Charles II, which remained current until the 18th century. She is shown in three-quarter profile, her long braids tied with soft pink bows and decorated with quatrefoil flowers, likely made of silver. Her facial features are idealized and rendered with great subtly, particularly in the rosy cheeks. While this portrait lacks the conventional coat of arms or cartouche that identifies the sitter, her high status is made clear by the wealth of jewels and luxury materials present in the painting. She is placed in an interior, set off against the red velvet curtain tied in the middle with a knot on her right, and the table covered with gold-trimmed red velvet cloth at the left. The sitter wears a four-tier pearl necklace with a knot in the center with matching three-tiered pearl bracelets and a cross-shaped earing with three increasingly large pearls. She also has several gold and silver rings on both hands—one holds a pair of silver gloves with red lining and the other is posed on a golden metal box, possibly a jewelry box. The materials of her costume are also of the highest quality, particularly the white lace trim of her wide neckline and circular cuffs. The historical moment in which this painting was produced was particularly rich in commissions of this kind. Following his arrival in Cuzco from Spain in the early 1670’s, bishop Manuel de Mollinedo y Angulo actively promoted the emergence of a distinctive regional school of painting in the city. Additionally, with the increase of wealth and economic prosperity in the New World, portraits quickly became a way for the growing elite class to celebrate their place in society and to preserve their memory. Portraits like this one would have been prominently displayed in a family’s home, perhaps in a dynastic portrait gallery. We are grateful to Professor Luis Eduardo Wuffarden for his assistance cataloguing this painting on the basis of high-resolution images. He has written that “the sober palette of the canvas, the quality of the pigments, the degree of aging, and the craquelure pattern on the painting layer confirm it to be an authentic and representative work of the Cuzco school of painting...Category
