About the Item
St. Bartholomew's Martyrdom. Painting on vellum. After models from Ribera y Cucó, José (Játiva, Spain, 1591-Naples, Italy, 1652).
The composition is organized around the diagonal that draws the trunk of the tree to which the old man is tied. The soldier on the right is skinning him, while another figure on the left balances and harmonizes the painting. This is the way in which Bartolomé the Apostle was martyred: according to tradition, the king of Armenia Astiages ordered him to worship his idols, which he refused, sending him to skin. Practically all the elements of the work can be related to the Italian school, while the composition follows habitual patterns in the Baroque of the 17th century. The color shows the work very far from Caravaggesque tenebrism that was common then, and does not present contrasts of light, in addition to remembering works more in the line of Classicist baroque or, even, of the previous Mannerism. José de Ribera y Cucó was a painter and engraver born in Spain who developed his entire career in Italy, where he was known as Giuseppe Ribera and by the nickname "Lo Spagnoletto". His style evolved from the tenebrism of Caravaggio to a much more luminous aesthetic influenced by figures such as Van Dyc, and contributed greatly to create the "Neapolitan school" (in which Giovanni Lanfranco, Luca Guiordano ...) stand out. He was born in Játiva (Spain), and it is possible that he learned with Francisco Ribalta, and, still a teenager, he went to northern Italy (Cremona, Milan, Parma), then went to Rome, where he came into contact with classicist works (Reni and Ludovico Carracci ); ended up settling in Naples. His work is preserved in important private collections around the world, as well as in institutions such as the Prado Museum and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, the Capodimonte in Naples, the Louvre in Paris, etc. The work recalls an oil on canvas made by José de Ribera between 1617 and 1619 for Pedro Téllez Girón III, Duke of Osuna and viceroy of Naples in those years, preserved in the Museum of Sacred Art of Osuna in Seville (Old Collegiate of Osuna ). It was part of a group of five paintings (San Sebastián, San Pedro Penitente, San Jerónimo, the Angel of Judgment and El Calvario, the latter commissioned by the Duchess and finished in 1618) that are known in the Collegiate as early as April 1627 This group is considered one of the most important at the beginning of its activity. However, it is possible to relate it much more closely with another work that presents a similar composition: one of the four etchings that Ribera made between 1624 and 1628: the one of the "Martirio de San Bartolomé" is signed, dated (1624) and dedicated to the prince Manuel Filiberto de Saboya, nephew of Felipe III and viceroy of Sicily. In this engraving and in the work on vellum, a figure on the left looks at the viewer, holding two sticks in his hands; The saint looks up, with his arms tied over his head, bent, and his legs pulled back, while a man skinns him, holding a knife in his mouth; in vellum, however, the male figures on the right that are in the engraving are not presented; the sky is also different. As already noted, the main differences are color and lighting, which situate the present work closer to Baroque classicist currents.

The temptation of St Anthony. Oil on canvas. 17th c., after David Teniers II
By David Teniers the Younger
Located in Madrid, ES
Temptations of San Antonio Abad. Oil on canvas. 17th century, following the model of David Teniers II (Antwerp, 1610-Brussels, 1690).
Oil on canvas showing a figurative scene located inside a cave. To the right, you can see a cross standing, supported; to the left, a hut; and in the center of the painting appears an elderly, bearded man, leaning on a table on which there is a ceramic jug and a skull, with an open book at the foot of it. The man looks towards a woman, who points to something outside, and appears accompanied by a large frog and a series of ghostly beings or monsters dressed in brightly colored cloth and clothing.
San Antonio Abad or Antonio Magno (251-356) was a Christian monk, considered the founder of the eremitical movement. He was tempted numerous times by the devil while he was in the desert, becoming a subject frequently represented in art (as can be seen in this oil painting). He is represented in a black habit because the Order of the Knights of the Hospital of San Antonio (Hospitals) was placed under his patronage, being the color of the habits of the members of this order (the tau or Egyptian cross was also the symbol chosen by they).
David Teniers II or El Joven was a prominent Flemish painter and engraver, son of David Teniers El Viejo or I and father of David Teniers III, much appreciated at the time for his scenes of villagers and common people, his paintings of monkey painters, etc. . He dealt with the theme of the Temptations of Saint Anthony...

Caravaggesque Oil on Copper "Flagellation of Christ" Baroque Sicilian, 17th Cent
By (After) Caravaggio
Located in Milano, IT
Splendid 17th-century Italian painting by unknown artist, but certainly a follower of Caravaggio, relying on style and drawing.
The painting has a very beautiful gilded wooden frame, with a subtle greek with spheres and an overlying rectangular frame with sinuous flowers on each corner, very elegant and beautiful.
The painting depicts one of the most depicted religious scenes ever, the scourging of Christ, and is entirely done in oil on copper.
The scourging of Jesus is an episode narrated in the Gospels (Mk15:15-16; Mt27:26-27; Lk23:16-26; Jn19:1-17[1]).
Scourging is a flogging, particularly bloody, by means of sticks, rods or cat-o-nine-tails, the latter instrument consisting, in the Roman typology, of a short stick to which were secured several strings ending in metal claws, leads and bone splinters that caused tremendous lacerations and fractures to the tortured person. Chains are used in this scene, both to immobilize Jesus Christ and to flog him, as we can see in the upper right hand of the scourger.
According to some personal research, it turned out that the actual scourging of Christ was mostly depicted at the column, while this Christ is on the ground, so presumably Christ here is scourged during the Way of the Cross at one of those stages where he fell.
The painting has a very dark coloring, which is why this painting is believed to faithfully follow Caravaggio's style of dry, authoritarian brushstrokes. The painting shows a figure agonizing on the ground that continues to receive beatings and floggings of all kinds, representing Christ; his face is crucified in a loquacious expression of pain, he turns his eyes to heaven as if to invoke God, but at the same time those same eyes admonish the wickedness and arrogance inherent in humanity.
Christ has one hand resting on the ground in the act of holding himself, while the other takes a completely unnatural stance against the barren ground. His body appears hardened to wanting to parry the blows, his legs are curled up on his knees as he takes kicks from the soldier above him. Christ is depicted pinned down from the neck with a very large and strong black iron bolt held by the other soldier. The soldier on the right in the foreground wears a one-shoulder tunic with an orange tunic and blue pants. On his feet he wears gray shoes, at his waist he has a belt with an iron helmet...
