Gustave Jean Jacquet was a renowned portraitist and genre painter, who worked in oil and pastels in Paris in the latter half of the 19th century. Jacquet was born in Paris in 1846 and began his artistic training under the guidance of the celebrated academic painter William Adolphe Bouguereau at the École des Beaux-Arts. Jacquet quickly assimilated all that he was taught, debuting at the Salon of the Société des Artistes Français at 19, with two genre paintings titled — La modestie (Modesty) and La tristesse (Sadness). After his debut, Jacquet’s style changed drastically and was no longer reflective of Bouguereau’s manner. Jacquet paid great attention to minute details in the fashions of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. At the 1867 Salon, Jacquet presented his painting entitled — The Call to Arms, where it attracted much public attention. The following year at the Salon, he earned a third-place medal with Sortie d’Armée au XVI Siècle and sold Sortie de Lansquenets to the state. In 1878, he exhibited Joan of Arc Praying for France at the Salon; and the same year, at the Exposition Universelle, he submitted a revised and solely executed allegory on La Reverie which earned him heightened success and a widening reputation. In 1875, at 29, Jacquet was awarded a premier medal. The Légion d’honneur (Legion of Honor) decorated him four years later. The artist’s style continuously advanced as he became aware of the techniques and philosophies of colleagues around the continent. Jacquet had traveled to Italy, Germany and England (where he exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery in London) collecting ideas and souvenirs. Jacquet brought back his atelier tapestries, armor, fabrics and draperies from other countries that he used as props for his paintings. Regarding the artist, the art critic Louis-Edmond Duranty declared: “Behold an artist, unknown today, which will be celebrated tomorrow.” The grace and charm with which Jacquet depicted his subjects appealed to the connoisseurs of fine art. Jacquet was also one of the most graceful painters of the female nude.

Spanish school. Secretary of Pope Pius V, abbot of Husillos, bishop of Córdoba.
Located in Firenze, IT
Portrait of Francisco de Reynoso y Baeza. Secretary of Pope Pius V, abbot of Husillos and bishop of Córdoba. Francisci de Reynoso. Early 17th century. Small-format portrait from the late Renaissance period. Spanish school. Size: Cm 19 x Cm 13.5 Oil on wooden panel. On the back the fine tablet is strengthened (already in ancient times) by a sheet of parchment. About 1600-1610. As often in Mannerist / Late Renaissance portraits, the image of the character is accompanied by the writing that runs at the top, adding a celebratory, historicising touch to the effigy. Let's bring back the sentence here: DON FRANCISCO DE REINOSO. CAMARERO SECRETO IESCALCO PIO QUINTO OBISCOPO CORDOBA. 68 (? O 7?) (1534, Autillo de Campos, Spain - 1601, Córdoba) Francisco de Reynoso was a Spanish cleric, chief chamberlain, and secretary to Pope Pius V, abbot of Husillos, and bishop of Córdoba. He was the fourth of eleven children. His father was the seventh Lord of Autillo de Campos, and his mother was Juana de Baeza y de las Casas, daughter of Manuel de Baeza, a lawyer of the Royal Council and at the Court of Valladolid. Francisco de Reynoso was deeply devoted to the Virgin Mary and showed a strong inclination toward religion and piety from an early age. He studied Latin, arts, and theology at the University of Salamanca. In 1562, he traveled to Rome with his brothers Pedro and Luis. In January 1566, following the death of Pope Pius IV, Cardinal Antonio Michele Ghislieri was elected pope, becoming Pius V. From this period until Ghislieri's death in 1572, Francisco de Reynoso served as his chief chamberlain and secretary. After Pope Pius V died, Francisco de Reynoso returned to Spain and lived for several years in the city of Palencia, where his brother Manuel was a canon. He supported the Society of Jesus when it was established in Palencia, providing alms to the school's clergy and funding chairs of Letters and Theology at his own expense, as well as donating a significant number of books. During the brief outbreak of the Black Plague...
