Description

Exceptional Virgin of the Rosary, in the manner of Juan de Espinal, Sevillian school of the 18th century Oil on canvas, with an important period frame. Canvas measures: 162 x 117 cm. Framed measurements: 191 x 147 cm, cleaning required. Juan de Espinal (Seville, 1714-ibidem, 1783) was a Spanish painter. He is considered the most important figure in Sevillian painting in the second half of the 18th century and one of the main Andalusian representatives of the Rococo artistic trend. Son of fellow painter Gregorio Espinal, he must have received his first artistic education from his father. He apprenticed him in Domingo Martínez's workshop, where in all likelihood he met the daughter of his teacher, Juana Martínez, whom he would later marry. In 1749 after the death of his father-in-law and his teacher, he inherited his workshop and presumably his clientele, enjoying a prestigious position. Proof of this are the different commissions he received, from both the city council and the ecclesiastical hierarchy, for example the 27 paintings he made between 1770 and 1775 with scenes from the life of Saint Jerome for the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Buenavista (Seville), or the series of canvases on religious themes (1776-1781) to adorn the Archbishop's Palace in Seville commissioned by Archbishop Don Francisco Javier Delgado y Venegas. Another of his facets was teaching, being one of the main promoters of the art school known as the Royal School of the Three Noble Arts of Seville and director of its painting section since 1775. Reference bibliography: Valdivieso, Enrique , «A pictorial series of the life of Saint Ignatius of Loyola by Juan de Espinal», Laboratorio de Arte, 13 (2000), pp. 391-202. as of the ecclesiastical hierarchy, for example the 27 paintings he made between 1770 and 1775 with scenes from the life of Saint Jerome for the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Buenavista (Seville), or the series of canvases on religious themes (1776-1781) to adorn the ...
