Spanish school; XVII century. "San Felipe Neri". Oil on canvas. Relined. It presents faults in the pictorial surface. Measurements: 137 x 103 cm. Devotional painting of St. Philip Neri. It belongs to a period after the beatification and canonization of the Saint, which occurred in the first third of the seventeenth century, so that during the next century was a recurring theme in the Baroque devotional iconography. The dark background enhances the figure of the protagonist. The scene has been conceived from a completely theatrical point of view with the bust of the saint framed in a portico with Solomonic columns on each side. Above it, located in the tympanum, there is a large border with the figure of the Virgin inside, probably in allusion to the miracle of the apparition of Mary to St. Philip. Under this border is the Holy Spirit. St. Philip Neri (Florence, 1515- 1595) known as the "Second Apostle of Rome" after St. Peter, was an Italian Catholic priest noted for founding the Congregation of the Oratory. He was carefully educated and received his first teachings from the friars of St. Mark's, the famous Dominican monastery in Florence. He used to attribute most of his progress to the teachings of two of them, Zenobio de Medici and Servanzio Mini. At the age of 18, in 1533, Philip was sent to the home of his uncle Romolo, a wealthy merchant from San Germano (present-day Cassino), a Neapolitan town near the base of Monte Cassino, to help him in his business dealings and in the hope that he would inherit Romolo's fortune[1]. Philip gained Romolo's trust and affection, but during his stay he also experienced a religious conversion. A

Thomas Kinkade (American, 1958-2012). Giclee print with hand-painted embellishments titled "The Lion King," depicting the moment when Simba's baby is presented to the gathered animals. From the Disney Dreams Collection. Signed and numbered 186/200 E.P. along the lower right. With a certificate of authenticity. Said Kinkade of this work: "As I painted my homage to this amazing story, I could not help but be moved by the intricate interplay between all of the magnificent creatures under Simba's domain. I imagined a lush, colorful, and bountiful African plain rightfully reestablished to its splendor after Simba vanquished Scar and his comedic, yet treacherous, hyenas each now forlorn in their punishment. The multitudes of animals have been summoned to pay tribute to Simba's new baby and their future regent as they wait under a spectacular sky illuminated in great anticipation. The world is as it should be...in harmony and perfectly balanced. Simba's heir is exalted by Rafiki and proudly symbolizes what awaits when destiny is embraced, challenges faced, and one summons the courage to stand in the spotlight of providence. I trust that this image will both remind you of this fantastic story and its amazing characters and, most importantly, move you to face the future irrespective of history's impasses knowing that the watchful and approving eye of the King is content as you embrace your place in the circle of life."
