Attributed to the workshop Rigalt-Graell i Cia. "Coat of arms of the King of Aragon", ca. 1940. Leaded glass, painted with fire grisaille. With the legend attributed to Horace: "Multa renascentur qua iam cecidere". The wooden frame has xylophages. It needs restoration. Measurements: 151 x 67 cm; 162 x 78 cm (frame). Stained glass painted with grisaille on fire. It dates from the forties and the experts presume its possible origin from the prestigious Barcelona workshop Rigalt, Graell i Cia. It shows the coat of arms of the king of Aragon framed by architectural arches of lobed profile. It is accompanied by a legend written in Latin on a phylactery that includes an aphorism attributed to Horace: "many things will be reborn that had already fallen". It can be interpreted as meaning that customs, beliefs and fashions perish but are always reborn, albeit camouflaged with other names or other forms. In this context, it refers to the imperishable values of the royal family. The stained glass workshop constituted by members of the Rigalt and Granell families of Barcelona, was operational from 1890 to 1984. Its precedents are found in the draftsman and glazier Antoni Rigalt i Blanch (1850-1914), raised in an artistic environment, since he was the nephew of the painter and draftsman Lluís Rigalt i Farriols (1814-1894). He trained as a draughtsman at the Llotja school in Barcelona, teaching drawing until 1901. His move to glassmaker did not follow the traditional pattern starting as an apprentice in a workshop, but he did it after his artistic and theoretical training. Related to the most important artists and architects of the time, he was a regular collaborator in the works of the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. From the Rigalt and Granell workshop came some of the most important works of stained glass of Catalan modernism, such as those made for the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Casa Lleó Morera in Barcelona or the Casa Navàs in Reus. They worked on the works of architects Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Enric Sagnier, August Font i Carreras, among others. They also carried out a large number of restorations of medieval stained glass, such as those of the Cathedral of León or the monastery of Santes Creus. The workshop participated in numerous exhibitions, especially in the period under the direction of Antoni Rigalt, in many of which it received awards: the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona in 1888; the Exhibition of Fine Arts and Artistic Industries of Barcelona, in 1892, 1896 and 1898; the Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1899; the National Exhibition of Art in 1900; the International Exhibition of Art in Barcelona in 1907 and 1911; the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona in 1929; the National Exhibition of Decorative Arts in 1947.

Italian school, XVII-XVIII century. Following models of ORAZIO GENTILESCHI (Pisa; 1563-London; 1639). "Virgin of the milk". Fragment of the "Rest in the Flight into Egypt" (Louvre Museum). Oil on canvas. Presents some lack in the frame. It needs restoration. Measurements: 117 x 102 cm; 131 x 116 cm (frame). This painting of classicist school retakes the motive of the maternity extracted from the painting of the mannerist painter Orazio Gentileschi dedicated to the theme of the flight to Egypt (oil painting conserved in the Louvre), where the Holy Family appears making a rest in its way, after leaving Bethlehem to escape to the persecution of Herod. The painter in question is inspired by that image of the Virgin breastfeeding the Child Jesus, respecting the volumetric and monumental proportions of the bodies. He also follows the model of the Virgin of the Milk. Jesus suckles the breast while looking at us out of the corner of his eye, adopting a natural gesture, without any artifice. The mother has classical features that remind us of the timeless. Her hair is gathered in a silky, light brown bun. The painter has chosen a range of more contrasting and earthy tones than the original, so that the flesh tones are slightly atheistic and the light models bodies and features with ingenuity. The whole shows a sacred and leisurely image without the need to introduce symbolic elements. Orazio Lomi Gentileschi was an Italian painter born in Tuscany. He began his career in Rome, painting in a mannerist style. Much of his early work in Rome was collaborative in nature. He painted the figures in Agostino Tassi's landscapes in the Rospigliosi palace, and possibly in the great hall of the Quirinal palace. After 1600, he was influenced by the more naturalistic style of Caravaggio and began to have commissions in Fabriano and Genoa before moving to Paris, to the court of Maria de' Medici. He remained there for two years, but only one painting from his stay has been identified, an allegorical figure of Public Happiness, painted for the Luxembourg Palace, and now in the Louvre collection. In 1626, Gentileschi, accompanied by his three sons left France for England, where he joined the household of the king's prime minister, George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham. He was a favorite artist of Queen Henrietta Maria, for whom he painted the ceiling of the Queen's House at Greenwich. The paintings of his English period are more elegant, artificial and sober than his earlier works. They include two versions of The Finding of Moses (1633), one of which was sent to Philip IV of Spain; it was previously supposed to have been a gift from Charles I, but is now known to have been sent on Gentileschi's own initiative.
