Exquisite Granada Virgin with Child in Glory - ATTRIBUTED TO JOSÉ DE RISUEÑO (Granada, 1665-1732), 17TH CENTURY BAROQUE GRANADINE SCHOOL Oil on canvas measurements: 100 x 78 cm, framed measurements: 120 x 100 cm. One of the most prominent Spanish painters and sculptors of the Granada Baroque. Trained in the workshop of his father Manuel Risueño with the sculptors Diego and José de Mora and with the painter Juan de Sevilla, all of them disciples of Alonso Cano. With abundant artistic production of a religious nature, in his work we can see the influence of Cano's models, his taste for naturalism and the use of Van Dyck's Flemish prints. Among his paintings, the religious scenes stand out with examples such as The Coronation of Saint Rosalía and The Mystical Betrothal of Saint Catherine (Granada Cathedral), The Virgin of the Rosary (private collection, Almería) and Saint Thomas of Aquinas (acquired in 1911 by the Prado Museum). He collaborated with Palomino in the execution of The Triumph of the Eucharist and Saint Bruno from the dome of the Tabernacle of the Granada Charterhouse (in situ). He also made portraits, highlighting among them that of his protector, Archbishop Dr. Martín Azcargorta (archiepiscopal palace, Granada). In his sculptural works he cultivated the same themes as in painting, using diverse materials: clay, wood and stone, to make altarpieces, doorways and church facades, most of them in his hometown.

Reference literature: Orozco Díaz, Emilio, «Some unknown works by Risueño and de Mora (data and comments for the study of a forgotten theme of Granada imagery)», Spanish Art Archive, xliv, no. 175, Madrid, 1971, pp. 233-257; Sánchez-Mesa Martín, Domingo, José Risueño, sculptor and painter from Granada (1665-1732), Granada, University, 1972.
