Description

Rest during the Flight into Egypt, Attributed to FRANCISCO ANTOLÍNEZ Y SARABIA (1644 - 1700), 17th century Oil on canvas measuring 140 x 160 cm, framed. (Seville, h. 1645-h. 1700). Painter of Spanish origin. Brother of the well-known painter José Antolínez. Palomino claims to have treated him personally, describing him as "maniacal and extravagant." Despite dedicating himself professionally to law, his curiosity led him to become interested in many different subjects, especially everything related to intellectual scholarship. These concerns led him to practice painting, achieving success with small works in which small figures usually appear surrounded by a landscape or architectural background. Although he made a living from painting, he did not sign his works, since he preferred to present himself as a lawyer. Due to this, only one work signed by his hand is known, The Adoration of the Shepherds (Seville Cathedral). Since this work, other similar works have been attributed to him, generally small in size and with a pronounced decorative sense, which form series with religious themes and are characterized by a special investigation into lighting effects, developed with a rapid and agitated workmanship. There are eight canvases attributed to Francisco Antolínez in the Prado Museum, all of them from the Trinidad Museum.
