Diego Velázquez (Seville 1599 - Madrid 1660) circle of Portrait of a Leader 17th

About the Item

Diego Velázquez (Seville 1599 - Madrid 1660) circle of Portrait of a Leader 17th Century Oil painting on canvas 99 x 73.5 cm The painting shows significant elements of seventeenth-century Spanish portraiture and its greatest representative, Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez. Our canvas was born in the circle of artists who grew up under his influence, among these the most important students: Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo, Juan de Pareja and Juan Carreño de Miranda. At the age of twelve he entered Francisco Pacheco's workshop, immediately showing his talent. In 1618 he was already an independent artist, he worked in his city painting with a strong influence of Caravaggio. He moved to Madrid and became official painter of Philip IV. He thus had the opportunity to explore the court collection and to cultivate a particular interest in the Venetian school and in Titian in particular. Probably, on the advice of the Rubens, he traveled twice to Italy, an opportunity to closely study the various painting schools and the great masters, refining his style and concentrating on the pictorial and environmental rendering of light. Loved and respected by his colleagues of his time, thanks to Alonso Cano and Zurbarán he was awarded the title of Knight of Santiago. His painting of excellent quality and realism was experienced after his passing thanks to his students, among them: Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo, Juan de Pareja and Juan Carreño de Miranda.

Circle of Guido Reni (Calvenzano 1575-1642 Bologna) 17th Century Portrait
Located in Nottingham, GB
17th century old master, oil on canvas (relined), housed in a Florentine giltwood frame. Portrait of a female saint, Circle of Guido Reni (Calvenzano 1575-1642 Bologna). Italian painter of popular religious works and critically acclaimed mythological scenes. He was born in Bologna and began to study painting at the age of nine; he joined the Carracci Academy when he was 20. His studies were rounded off by a trip to Rome in about 1600. From that moment on, antique and recent Roman art became his ideals. He admired Raphael unconditionally. He did, however, come to terms with Caravaggio's naturalism in a group of youthful works such as The Crucifixion of St Peter in the Vatican Gallery (1604), where the use of chiaroscuro provided enormous energy. He alternated between living in his native Bologna and visits to Rome. After Annibale Carracci's death (1609) he became the leader of the classical school of Emilian painters. His adhesion to this school can be seen in the frescos he painted in Rome in about 1610 in the Quirinal Palace, the Vatican, and various churches (e.g. San Gregorio Magno...

Late 17th Century Oil Portrait of a Lady
Located in Lymington, GB
An oil on canvas portrait of a young French courtier, circa 1690. This evocative antique French school picture has been attributed to the portrait painter Jean-François de Troy (1679-1752). De Troy was famous as a portrait painter of fashionable society women. This is a very attractive late 17th century painting surviving in its original frame and stretcher. The canvas appears to be untouched. References: 'Jean François de Troy, The Alarm, or the Gouvernante Fidèle', at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. 'Jean François de Troy, Paris 1679 - Rome 1752', at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. Laurie G. Winters, Troy, de, Grove Art Online, Oxford Art Online, Oxford University Press, 6 May 2016.
