CIRILO MARTÍNEZ NOVILLO (Madrid, 1921 - 2008). "The grandfather". Watercolor on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. Work published in "Drawings by Martínez Novillo", text by Gerardo Diego, Cuadernos de Arte nº11, Ibérico Europea de Ediciones. Measurements: 23.5 x 33 cm; 54 x 64 cm (frame). Cirilo Martínez Novillo is one of the most outstanding representatives of the so-called School of Madrid, the city where he began his training at the School of Arts and Crafts. During the Civil War he enters the Escuela Superior de Pintura and attends the workshop of Daniel Vázquez Díaz, who will become his teacher, supporting him throughout his career. In his workshop, Martínez Novillo met some of the painters linked to the Madrid School: Álvaro Delgado, Gregorio del Olmo, García Ochoa or San José. In 1946 he presents his work for the first time, in the framework of a collective exhibition held at the Bucholz gallery in Madrid. The following year he held his first individual exhibition at the same gallery. In 1948 he holds an exhibition in the prints room of the Museum of Modern Art in Madrid, the critics begin to echo his work and he is selected to participate in the exhibition "Spanish Art", held in Buenos Aires and organized by the Ministry of Education. From this moment on, he shows his work in several Spanish cities and in France, and participates in group exhibitions such as the Venice Biennial (1950) or the Salón de los Once (1951). Between 1952 and 1953 he travels three times to Paris thanks to different scholarships. His period of maturity begins with a new visit to Paris at the beginning of the sixties, to later travel to Switzerland, Germany, Holland and Belgium, obtaining several medals in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, as well as the Painting Prize of the Hispano-American Biennial of Cuba. Although not part of the Second School of Vallecas, Martínez Novillo's painting is aesthetically close to that of the group. His production is mainly focused on landscape painting and still lifes, although at first he also dedicated himself to the figure. The painter elaborates his landscapes by means of a direct contemplation of nature, not by copying it, because later in his studio he makes a selection of what interests him. Cirilo Martínez Novillo is represented in the Reina Sofía Museum, the Mapfre, AENA, Gaya Nuño and Santander Central Hispano Foundations, the Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art of Madrid, the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao and Oviedo, the Argentaria, Caja España and Telefónica collections and the Valdepeñas Museum.

SEBASTIÁN MARTÍNEZ DOMEDEL (Jaén, around 1615 - Madrid, 1667). "Saint Peter Penitent". Oil on canvas. Re-tinted. There are flaws in the pictorial surface. Measures: 43 x 34 cm. In this devotional painting, the face of the apostle Peter is turned towards heaven, appealing for divine intervention. His features reveal the characteristic workmanship of the Baroque painter Martínez Domedel, whose aged male models, rendered in a naturalistic style and whose faces are illuminated by bright watery eyes, are repeated in various compositions. The overhead light skilfully models the features with protruding cheekbones and frizzy beard. The intense expressiveness of this model can be compared with those that the painter used in the Evangelists in Jaén Cathedral. In particular, the definition of the face and expressiveness are very reminiscent of Saint Luke. The wrinkles that furrow the forehead have been resolved in a style that identifies Martínez Domedel. The specialist Rafael Mantas Fernández (Instituto de Estudios Jienenses. Jaén, 2019) defines his work as follows: "he wastes great pictorial qualities in the definition of the anatomies of his sacred images, which embody real characters taken from the street... with a psychological tension, which incited the faithful of the 17th century to prayer, perfectly fulfilling the Tridentine postulates of the time". Sebastián Martínez Domedel was located by Palomino in Jaén, training with Antonio García Reinoso. His style is eclectic and marked by a strong influence of naturalist painting and by the concomitances of other contemporary artists such as Antonio del Castillo, Alonso Cano and José de Ribera. He began his training in Jaén in his father's studio, where he acquired the basic knowledge of the art of painting. He was able to complete his studies with the local painter Cristóbal Vela Cobo. Later he moved to Cordoba, a stay which enriched his style and brought him into contact with artists of the time. After his years of apprenticeship he soon became the most famous painter in the city of Jaén. Around the 1650s and 1660s he reached the maturity of his style and was in demand by important religious institutions and prominent civil figures in 17th-century society. The last years of his life were spent in Madrid, where he was appointed court painter to Philip IV, enriching his repertoire of images and compositional solutions after contemplating the works of important artists at the Royal Sites and above all at the Royal Monastery of El Escorial.
