Valencian school; ca. 1500. "Virgin with child and singing angels". Tempera and gilding on panel. With period sgraffito and stephos. Presents old restorations. Presents deterioration. It needs restoration. Measurements: 119 x 119 cm. Scene of religious character in which the virgin appears with the child in a central plane. She is dressed with a blue mantle and red tunic and still preserves the image of virgin-throne of the most classicist renaissance, being a whole block with hieratic character. The scene stands out for its sobriety, with four singing angels arranged on the sides of the figure on a background of reddish tones. The Spanish school is different from the rest of contemporary European artistic centers, thanks to the fact that during most of the 15th and 16th centuries there was an important settlement of Italian and Flemish painters. Thus, throughout the history of art, these centuries, meant an important focus within Spanish art, with schools such as Andalusian, Madrid and Valencia. In Spain, the change from the seventeenth to the eighteenth century was not a break with the previous tradition, but a continuation of it. On the other hand, economic recovery resulted in a thriving industrial and commercial bourgeoisie, which sought to distinguish itself socially through artistic patronage. At the same time, the Church was losing its monopoly as the only client of artists. All this will determine a definitive change in taste, and also in the genres treated: religious painting will now coexist with bourgeois portraiture, still life, landscape, historical and mythological themes and genre painting.

Spanish or Novo-Hispanic school; c. 1757. "Virgin of Antigua". Oil on canvas. Presents inscription. Measurements: 68 x 51 cm. In the cartouche of the inferior margin it can be read: 'V.º R.º DE LA MILAG.A YMAG.N DE N.RA S.A DE LANTIGVA PATRONA DE LA CIVDAD HORDVÑA EN EL SEÑORIO DE VIZCAYA. YEAR 1757. ('True Portrait of the miraculous image of Our Lady of Antiquity, Patroness of the town of Horduña in the Lordship of Biscay. Year 1757') The image of the Virgin in the sanctuary of Orduña is a Gothic carving from the 14th century. The church of Santa María La Antigua in Orduña has a history linked to the legend of the discovery of an image of the Virgin entangled in the branches of a tree by a shepherd. There is ancient historical evidence of the existence of a monastery dedicated to Santa María in the 10th century, and in the 13th century the church was known as "La Vieja" or "La Antigua". The legend of the Virgen de la Antigua comes from medieval times and the origins of the Virgen de la Antigua are diverse, being related to the Romans or the Visigoths. At first, the representation of the Virgin standing with the Child in her arms was placed in the mullions, forming part of the architecture, like most of the Gothic sculpture. However, it must have enjoyed great success among the faithful, so that, from the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, they began to be made in small format, free-standing and in different materials, such as stone. It will be then when they begin to be not Odigitrian Virgins, but more maternal representations. At first they were made mainly in France, and from there they were exported to the rest of Europe; the models would become classics, repeated over and over again. It is worth mentioning that, during the Spanish colonial domination, a mainly religious painting was developed, aimed at Christianizing the indigenous peoples. The local painters were modeled on Spanish works, which they followed literally in terms of types and iconography. The most frequent models were the harquebusier angels and the triangular virgins, however, it was not until the first years of the 19th century, already in times of independence and political opening of some of the colonies, that several artists began to represent a new model of painting with its own identity. Presents inscription.
