About the Item

Catalan Baroque S.XVI The Adoration of the Magi Oil on wood 92cm x 68cm Dated 1527 At the beginning of the Renaissance period, Gothic forms coexisted in Catalonia with other new solutions, in which religious fervor was mixed with the attention to detail of everyday life. Following the medieval tradition, the altarpieces are thought from a narrative vision, and flat painting predominates in them. The bright colors and the use of light make this work representative of the Renaissance and Catalan Baroque. In informal conversations, Prof. Doctor Alberto Velasco from the University of Lleida has highlighted these very determining characteristics of this pictorial period that are so clearly seen in our work. Origin: This work is the main part of an altarpiece that originally belonged to the collection of Antonio Goytisolo Digat and Catalina Taltavull Victory. Mr. Goytisolo Digat made his fortune in Cuba with the sale of sugar cane and slaves, just like the Taltavull family. In the second half of the 19th century they established their residence in Barcelona at 142 Pau Clarins street where this piece was part of the furniture. Its leaves were auctioned to pay for the trip of Dr. Joaquin Goytisolo Taltavull to Argentina in 1917.

Frans Franken III 16th Century Oil on Wood, Adoration of the Magi, Painting
By Frans Franken the Younger
Located in IT
Frans Franken III and aid, Adoration of the Magi Good condition The oil painting on wood, with a gold background, depicts an Adoration of the Magi. The Magi are dressed in sumptuous silk and brocade dresses; they wear precious hats and jewelery. The richness of their garments is in contrast with the humility of the Holy Family and of the other characters who, around curious, observe the scene. The hut is simple, made of wood and straw: above it shines the Comet, symbol of the divine event. In the distance, a group of wayfarers walk along a path that is lost on the horizon, blending into the gold of the bottom. The representation proposes a traditional iconography, in which the painter inserts some details that he lends himself to symbolic interpretations. Among these is the appearance of the Magi, who from the XIVth century differs iconographically: the wise astronomers represent the homage to Jesus of the then known parts of the world, namely Africa, Asia and Europe. To the right of the Magi, in the foreground, sits a monkey, considered a demonic creature and a symbol of lies and sin. It is depicted on the sidelines, as a defeat, next to a fragment of a classical column: ruin alludes to the end of paganism, of the old world that collapses with the advent of the new one, marked by the birth of Christ and liberation from the Original Sin. On the ruins he climbs the ivy, symbol of the immortality of the soul. The work is attributable to the workshop of the Flemish painter Frans Francken III...

16th Century Adoration of the Shepherds Painting Oil on Copper by Carnevale
By Carnevale Studio
Located in Milan, IT
Domenico Carnevale (Sassuolo, 1524 - Modena, 1579) Adoration of the Shepherds Oil on copper, 42 x 28 cm Frame 54 x 36 cm Expert opinion of Prof. Emilio Negro The painting represents the Adoration of the Shepherds, the Child in the center, next to the Madonna kneeling in prayer and an angel behind her; towards him in the foreground a woman with a child in her arms, a shepherd with a sheep on the right, a bagpiper on the left and various other male and female characters turn to him. The architectures of the background, between which a glimpse of the landscape can be glimpsed, are hidden in the upper part by the clouds, where a "celestial glory" encamps with three flying angels. The painting shows mannerist characters that can be traced back to the second half of the sixteenth century, and can be traced back to an author from the Modena area, with stylistic references to the Bolognese Samacchini (1532 - 1577) and Passerotti (1529 - 1592). More precisely, it can be attributed to Domenico Carnevale (1524-1579), one of the most important masters of the sixteenth century active in the local area. The Carnival was formed in Emilia, his homeland, where he worked for many years. However, his works also show a clear Roman influence, dictated by a long experience in the city, during which he also dedicated himself to the restoration of the Sistine Chapel. Trained in the late-mannerist environment of Modena, he is also linked to the Parmesan Corrorese and Ferrarese Dossesque tradition; Carnival also always maintains a slight archaic sentiment in his work, The main stylistic reference must be identified in a work similar in subject and iconographic setting, coming from the church of the Pio Istituto Orfanelle di San Geminiano di Modena, currently part of the Art Collection of the Province, attributed to the same influence as the Carnival. Another interesting comparison should be identified with A Presentation of Jesus in the Temple...
