Portrait of Fernando Fernandez de Cordoba and Valcarcel. Oil on canvas.
Located in Madrid, ES
Portrait of Fernando Fernandez de Cordoba and Valcarcel. Oil on canvas. Spanish School, 19th century.
Unframed canvas. Damaged. Requires restoration.
Full-length portrait of a male figure set in an interior decorated with carpets, a gilded wooden chest of drawers with a Rococo influence, a relief on the wall, mouldings, an inkwell, maps, books, a writing desk, etc. To the left, next to a curtain, the composition opens onto a window that reveals a building. The man, in military uniform, holds a sword in one hand and a bicorne hat in the other, while looking straight at the viewer. Fernando Fernández de Córdova y Valcárcel (Buenos Aires, 2 September 1809 – Madrid, 30 October 1883), 2nd Marquis of Mendigorría, was a Spanish military man, son of the frigate captain of the Royal Navy José María Fernández de Córdova y Rojas and María de la Paz Rodríguez de Valcárcel y O'Conrry, 1st Marchioness of Mendigorría. He fought with his brother Luis in the First Carlist War. He belonged to the Moderate Party and later to the Democratic-Radical Party. He was President of the Government for a single day. He was a senator for life from 1847 to 1868 and for the province of Soria from 1871 to 1873, during the reign of Amadeo of Savoy. In the portrait it is possible to clearly see his decorations, located on the left side of his chest. Starting from the top: Knight Grand Cross of the Royal and Distinguished Spanish Order of Charles III (established by this monarch in 1771); on the left, that of Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Order of...

Portraits of the monarchs Louis XIII and Anne-Marie of Austria as hunters.
Located in Madrid, ES
Portraits of the monarchs Louis XIII and Anne-Marie of Austria as hunters. Oil on canvas. Possibly Madrid school, 17th century.
Pair of full-length portraits showing the characters against natural backgrounds, with landscapes with mountains in the distance and trees. The male character, who looks directly at the viewer, has dark hair and a fine moustache, and is dressed in a ruff, a doublet, leather gloves, a blued breastplate with gold details, breeches, white silk stockings and cavalier boots. The lady, who modestly lowers her gaze, has her head partially covered with a hat decorated with a brooch and white feathers; she is dressed in a ruff and a dress with a wide-skirted doublet and skirt, wide-mouthed gloves and a short cloak with a decorated edge gathered around the left arm and placed over the right side of the skirt. Alongside these “hunting” dresses, they appear carrying firearms and accompanied by large dogs. The king's dog is standing alertly, turning his head to one side. The queen's dog is sitting looking at her, with a collar and a rope that she holds in her left hand. The male subject is clearly the French King Louis XIII (Fontainebleau, 1601-Saint-Germain-en-Laye, 1643), monarch of France and Navarre (1610-1643), son of Henry IV of France and Marie de Médicis and father of Louis XIV of France. Compare with other portraits: by Rubens, painted around 1622-1625 at the Norton Simon Museum (Pasadena, California, USA); by Philippe de Champaigne, painted in 1635 and kept at the Museo del Prado (Madrid, Spain); the painting by Frans Pourbus the Younger from the 1920s at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Chambéry (France); etc. Louis XIII married Anne of Austria, daughter of Philip III of Spain, in 1615. This was brought about by the marriage agreement of Fountainebleau (1611), which stipulated the future wedding of the Prince of Asturias, Philip IV, with the French princess Isabella of Bourbon, and that of the French monarch with Anne. Anne Maria Mauricia of Austria and Austria-Styria (Valladolid, 1601-Paris, 1666) was an Infanta of Spain and Portugal as the daughter of Philip III of Spain and Margaret of...

It is known, in German, as “Gabelkreuz” or “Gabelkruzifix” (“Sorrowful Crucifix” in Spanish) to a type of Gothic Crucified Christ that is especially expressive (prioritizing external suffering over other aspects) and that, normally, presents the cross in a of Y or ypsilon (alluding to the Tree of Life), created, apparently, thanks to the influence of the mysticism of the late 13th and early 14th centuries (Saint Brigid...

Bust of Menelaus or Ajax (Pasquino Group). Bronze. Twentieth century.
Bust made of bronze that shows a man with a beard, dressed in a cloak gathered in a circular brooch and with a strap on the other shoulder, and wearing a helmet decorated with reliefs.
The work is inspired by a highly appreciated sculpture known as the Pasquino Group (or Menelaus carrying the body of Patroclus or Ajax carrying the body of Achilles), made in marble copying a Hellenistic bronze and dated around 200-150 BC. C. About fifteen Roman marble copies are known of it, many “intervened” (or restored) during the 16th and 17th centuries. The earliest of these copies were first documented in Rome in the 1500s. Cosimo I, Grand Duke of Tuscany, purchased an ancient marble fragment of an armored male bust supporting a dying companion, moved it to Florence (inventoryed in 1574) and Ferdinando II...
