David Alfaro SiqueirosEmiliano Zapata, Original Social Realism Painting1958
1958
About the Item
Artist: David Alfaro Siqueiros (1896-1974) Mexican
Title: Emiliano Zapata
Medium: Pyroxylin on Wood Panel, Signed Lower Right
Size: Unframed 35” x 49”, Framed 39” x 53”
Year: 1958 - 1959
Siqueiros painted a vivid study of the Mexican Revolutionary, Emiliano Zapata Salazar, in preparation for his large mural, Del Porfirismo a la Revolucion in which three famous revolutionaries carry a dead worker, elements of the workers’ armed struggle and the decline of Porfirismo is depicted. The mural is shown in a purpose-built exhibit in Mexico City.
Zapata was a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution who was assassinated (1910–1920). In this striking work, Siqueiros memoralizes Zapata using his bold, socialist realist style. The powerful use of gold, pink, red and purple symbolize the royal stature of the legendary revolutionary. His strong features and sword are used to evoke the stature of this historic figure. Siqueiros’ use of pyroxylin paint allowed him to use the thick paint to sculpt the surface of the wood panel. The Study of Emiliano Zapata was exhibited in the Museum of Latin American Art, Long Beach, California from 2004 -2006, on loan from the current owners.
Exhibited at the MoLAA (Museum of Latin American Art) August 2005.

Title: Grazing Sheep
Medium: Oil on Wood Panel
Dimensions: Unframed 13.5" x 13.5" Framed 19.5" x 16"

Julius Kronberg’s Angelica – A Romantic Heroine of Renaissance Legend
Located in Stockholm, SE
Literary Origins of Angelica
The subject of this painting is Angelica, a princess from the epic chivalric romances of the Italian Renaissance. She first appears in Matteo Maria Boiardo’s Orlando Innamorato (1483) and reappears famously in Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso (1532). In these poems – part of the Matter of France cycle of Charlemagne and his paladins – Angelica’s extraordinary beauty ensnares many knights, including Orlando (Roland) and his cousin Rinaldo, sparking rivalries and adventures. Ariosto’s narrative particularly highlights Angelica’s tumultuous journey: at one point she is stripped and chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster (a scene mirroring the myth of Andromeda) before being dramatically rescued by the valiant knight Ruggiero on his winged horse. Ultimately, however, Angelica chooses her own destiny. She falls in love with a humble Saracen soldier, Medoro, whom she nurses back to health, and she returns with him to her far-off Asian kingdom – an affair that drives the heartbroken Orlando to madness. This independent resolution (marrying outside the circle of Christian knights) made Angelica an emblem of feminine agency and romantic idealism in Renaissance literature. Her story remained popular in art and literature through the centuries, symbolizing the allure and elusiveness of love.
