Description

Valencian school; ca. 1500. "Virgin with child and singing angels". Tempera and gilding on panel. With period sgraffito and stephenwork. Presents old restorations. Presents deterioration. It needs restoration. Measurements: 122 x 89 cm; 150 x 118 cm (frame). Scene of religious character in which appears the virgin 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. It presents old restorations. Deterioration. In need of restoration.
