About the Item

Spanish School of the 19th Century Santa Justa and Santa Rufina Oil on canvas 40 x 27 cm In quite good condition, the paint surface presents numerous crackings as visible on the photographs. Under UV a very small inpainting is visible on the forehead of the saint on the left. In a modern frame : 49.5 x 36.5 cm This painting is a variation after the famous painting by Murillo, Santa Justa y Santa Rufina (1665-1666) now in Museo de Bellas Artes in Sevilla. If the artist kept the original composition, with details such as the still life of ceramics in the foreground, or the tiny architecture behind the saints, as well as the colours, he gave here a personal interpretation of the faces and personality of the two saint women. They appear far more younger and smoother than the the original faces. He also chose to present a simplified version of the tower of La Giralda, held by the two saints. It's really interesting to compare this delicate little painting to the painting by Murillo that inspired it, to judge of its own qualities and charms.

French Romantic School, 19th Century, Portrait of a man, oil on paper
Located in Paris, FR
French Romantic School, 19th Century Portrait of a man, a selfportrait ? oil on paper 17.5 x 12 cm oval Framed under glass : 43 x 34.5 cm This rather mysterious portrait is perhaps a self-portrait of the artist who painted it. This is suggested by the three-quarter pose and the gaze fixed on the viewer. What this man seems to be staring at is himself. Similarly, the model's appearance is reminiscent of the image of the romantic, bohemian, tortured artist. It's also very interesting that he used a range of dark colours to reinforce this idea of melancholy. It has been suggested that this small oil on paper is close to the art of François Bonvin (1817-1887) and Théodule Ribot...
