Description

VICENTE CASTELLO Y AMAT Valencia (1787 / 1860) "Portrait of Don Antonio Quiles, lawyer" Oil on canvas. Signed on the lower right: "Vte. Castello Fecit" Vicente Castello is among the most outstanding disciples of Vicente Lopez in Valencia. An especially prolific artist, he practiced different genres such as religious painting, still life and portraiture. It is in this last field in which fewer testimonies have been preserved and what makes this painting that we present here become something unique within his abundant production. Ossorio remembers that “he painted countless portraits of the most distinguished people,” but today only that of the sculptor Jose Cloosterman is located, in the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia, and a couple of Self-portraits, from the collections of the Count of Alto Barciles and Lazaro Galdiano. Lawyer Antonio Quiles is represented in full body and seated at his desk in a domestic setting. In his composition, coloring and formal repertoires the influence of his teacher, the painter Vicente Lopez, is evident. Measurements: 160 x 98 cm.

Way of Vicente Macip, Important Saint Mark the Evangelist next to the Angel, Valencian school of the Macip of the 16th century Oil on panel, this lot is paired with lot 78 of our current auction. Table measurements: 69 x 45 cm, framed measurements: 77 x 52 cm. Provenance: Madrid palace, private collection, El Viso. Juan Vicente Macip, known as Vicente Macip, sometimes transcribed Masip or Maçip (Andilla, ca. 1475-Valencia, 1545) was a Spanish Renaissance painter, father of the illustrious painter Vicente Juan Macip, better known as Juan de Juanes. He is considered a painter of the 19th century influenced by the works of Paolo de San Leocadio and Rodrigo de Osona. The primitive 19th-century appearance of his early works is due to them, such as the Porta-Coeli altarpiece in the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia. The arrival in Valencia of some works by Sebastiano del Piombo will mark his later work, as is evident in the most notable of them, the old altarpiece of the main altar of the Segorbe cathedral, which he took charge of between 1529 and 1532, perhaps already counting on the collaboration of his son, which would explain the change in the orientation of his painting. The altarpiece of the Virgen del Remedio in the Church of San Bartolomé in Benicarló is also attributed to him. It is a painting with the Virgin and Child sitting on the throne, surrounded by different saints. The Prado Museum has, among others, two of his paintings in a circular format, representing the Visitation and the Martyrdom of Saint Agnes, painted for the chapel of Saint Thomas of Villanueva in the convent of Saint Julián in Valencia.
