Spanish school; XIX century. "Portrait of Philip IV. Oil on canvas. It has a frame following ancient models. Measurements: 63 x 49 cm; 79 x 65 cm (frame). The work is a version of the well-known portrait of Philip IV of advanced age, painted by Velázquez and preserved in the Prado Museum. The brilliant painter presents the king soberly dressed in black, as was customary for the monarch and the high nobility of the time, with a somewhat melancholy expression and cheeks somewhat sunken by age. The king, who had always sought veracity in his portraits, upon seeing himself thus effigied, on his way to old age, seems to have exclaimed that this would be the last portrait that would be made of him. It is, in fact, an image of the monarch that has become iconic, since it was widely used by other artists of the time, becoming the official image of the end of the reign of Philip IV. Velázquez concentrates all the attention on the face and expression, dispensing with the marks of power and the elements that denote sumptuousness and wealth (draperies, furniture, jewelry), so common in Baroque portraiture. The artist thus achieves a work of great psychological depth.

Spanish or Italian school; 17th century. "Saint Francis of Paula". Oil on canvas. Size: 29 x 23 cm; 37 x 31 cm (frame). Saint Francis of Paula (1416-1507) was an Italian hermit, founder of the Order of the Minims. At a very young age he began his life as a hermit on the outskirts of his native town of Paula. He gradually gained fame for his miracles, and by around 1450 there was already a group of followers around him. His community grew, and in 1470 the Congregation of Hermits (the future Order of Minims) received diocesan approval from the archbishop of Consenza. Four years later, Pope Sixtus IV granted them pontifical approval. In 1483, Francis of Paola went to France by order of the Pope and at the request of King Louis XI. There he carried out some diplomatic work on behalf of the Holy See, while at the same time trying to obtain its approval for a Rule for his congregation, which he finally achieved in 1493. Until his death, Francis of Paola enjoyed the support and protection of the French monarchs, and a few years after his death, processes for his canonisation were initiated in Calabria, Tourse and Amiens, in which numerous witnesses to his life and miracles testified. He was finally beatified in 1513 and canonised in 1519. The iconography of this saint is abundant. The best known effigy, which has inspired many painters, is the one by Jean Bourdichon, a French painter who was a contemporary of Francis of Paola. In it, the saint is depicted in the habit, an old man with a grave face and a bushy grey beard, leaning on a simple staff.
