Description

Very important series of the 4 apostles, in the manner of Miquel March (València, 1633-1670), Valencian school of the 17th century Set of 4 oil paintings on canvas, framed measurements: 113 x 94, canvas measurements: 98 x 74 cm each (with important period frames, one is missing the frame). Son of the Valencian painter Esteban March with whom it is believed that he formed given the affinity of his styles. His "Neapolitan" influence is assumed by a possible trip to Italy, about which Pérez Sánchez is not sure. He made religious works, most of which have been lost, although San Jerónimo penitente (Prado) and San Roque helping the plague-stricken (Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia San Pío V) are preserved, showing a very expressive and complex composition, illuminated with gloomy intensity. The best known of his production are allegorical paintings -executed with loose and vibrant brushstrokes, and warm, toasted and reddish colors, inherited from his father-, kitchen still lifes with gloomy lighting and great naturalism, and vases with rigorous symmetry, great color richness and an exquisite decorative sense. He also makes canvases with a more complex composition that include figures, although they maintain the pre-eminence of the inanimate, characteristic of the works of this painter. Bibliography: Orellana, Marcos Antonio, Biografía pictorial valentina [1930], Valencia, Ayuntamiento, 1967, pp. 185-201. 1967, p. 185-201. 1967, p. 185-201.
