JOSEP LLIMONA BRUGUERA (Barcelona, 1864 - 1934) and JOAQUIM VICENS GIRONELLA (1911-1997). "Crucifixion". Christ in stucco (Llimona) and cross in wood (Gironella), 1932. Cross signed and dated by Gironella. Measurements: 30 x 30 x 6 cm (Christ); 62 x 42 x 8 cm (cross). A self-taught artist, Joaquim Vicens Gironella made cork sculptures, and was discovered and exhibited by Jean Dubuffet. He also wrote many poems and plays. Josep Limona is remembered as the most important Catalan sculptor of modernism. Trained at the Llotja School in Barcelona, he obtained the pension to go to Rome in 1880. During his stay in Italy he was influenced by Florentine Renaissance sculpture. With the works he sent from there he obtained prizes (gold medal at the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona in 1888), as well as a great reputation. With his brother Joan he founded the Círculo Artístico de Sant Lluc, a Catalan artistic association of religious character (the two brothers were deep believers). Towards the middle of the 90's his style already drifts towards full modernism. He received the prize of honor at the International Exhibition of Fine Arts held in 1907 in Barcelona. From 1900 he focused on his famous female nudes, and in 1914 he created, in collaboration with Gaudí, his impressive "Resurrected Christ". His artistic genius also manifested itself in large public monuments such as the equestrian statue of St. Jordi in Montjuic Park in Barcelona, as well as in works of funerary imagery, such as the pantheons he created for several cemeteries. In addition to exhibiting in Barcelona and other Catalan cities, he exhibited his work in Madrid, Brussels, Paris, Buenos Aires and Rosario (Argentina). He was president of the Board of Museums of Barcelona between 1918 and 1924, and again from 1931 until his death in 1934. Throughout his life he received numerous decorations, including those awarded by the governments of France and Italy. He also received the Gold Medal of the City of Barcelona in 1932, in recognition of his extraordinary work in the development of museum activity. Llimona's work is preserved in the Monastery of Montserrat, the National Art Museum of Catalonia and the Reina Sofia Museum, among others.

Andalusian School; XVIII century. "Immaculate Conception". Oil on canvas. Presents restorations. It has an informative label on the back of the "Caja General de Restauraciones". Provenance: Duques de la Conquista. Measurements: 120,5 x 85,5 cm; 129 x 95 cm (frame). We see in this work a representation of the Immaculate following the aesthetic models of the Spanish baroque with Mary dressed in white and blue (symbols of purity and the concepts of truth and eternity, respectively), surrounded by child angels, standing on the crescent and above her the representation of the Holy Spirit. Some angels carry symbols of the litanies, such as the lilies or the palm. In spite of following the mentioned models, the piece abandons the theatrical splendor of the baroque in favor of a much more sober, measured and balanced scenography that can be appreciated in the tones of color used by the artist and in the composition itself. The dogma of the Immaculate defends that the Virgin was conceived without Original Sin, and was defined and accepted by the Vatican in the Bull Ineffabilis Deus, December 8, 1854. However, Spain and all the kingdoms under its political dominion defended this belief before. Iconographically, the representation takes texts both from the Apocalypse (12: "A great sign appeared in heaven, a woman wrapped in the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars") and from the Lauretan Litany prayed after the rosary and containing epithets of Mary taken from the Song of Songs of King David. Joining both texts and after an evolution that already begins at the end of the Gothic period, we arrive at a very simple and recognizable typology that presents the Virgin on the lunar quarter, with the stars on her head and dressed in light (with a halo on the head only or on the whole body), normally dressed in white and blue in allusion to purity and eternity (although she can also appear in red and blue, in relation then with the Passion), her hands on her chest almost always and represented young as a general rule. It has an informative label on the back of the "Caja General de Restauraciones".
