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.

MATEO GALLARDO (Madrid?, ca. 1600 - Madrid, 1667) "Jael and Sisara". Oil on canvas. Re-drawn. It presents slight faults on the pictorial surface. Signed in the lower right area. Provenance: Collection Fórum Filatélico, Madrid and Private Collection of Madrid. Measurements: 145 x 163 cm; 156 x 172 cm (frame). Bibliography - Angulo Íñiguez, Diego, and Pérez Sánchez, Alfonso E., Historia de la pintura española. Escuela madrileña del segundo tercio del siglo XVII, Madrid, Instituto Diego Velázquez, csic, 1983, p. 67. - Mónica Walker Vadillo, Jael y Sísara, Digital database of Medieval Iconography, Universidad Complutense de Madrid. With two works in the collection of the Prado Museum, this painting of excellent quality presents the biblical moment in which Jael, the wife of Barak the Kenite, invites Sisera (Jabin's general) to rest in her tent after the battle between the Israelites and the subjects of King Jabin of Canaan. When he falls asleep, Jael drives a stake through his temple; fulfilling the words of the prophetess Deborah, who foretold that General Sisera would die by the hand of a woman and not by the sword of Barak. This Old Testament passage is considered by medieval exegetes to be a prefiguration of the Virgin defeating the devil. Other painters were interested in this theme, such as Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1656) and Jacopo Vignali (1592-1664). Compositionally, we see General Sisera on the ground, dead, while Jael picks up his tunic under the attentive gaze of her husband. The clothing of the various figures is richly coloured. The spotlight on the left-hand side of the painting depicts different tones on the skin of the sitters. These flesh tones are very restrained, and without being monumental, they are worked in great detail. On the far left, a window opens onto a landscape that adds depth to the scene. The thick folds of the costumes are meticulously treated, lending solemnity to a narrative scene with a profound emotional sense. Mateo Gallardo was a Spanish Baroque painter based in Madrid. Of his works, only one signed and dated canvas survives: The Martyrdom of Saint Catherine (1653, Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias). His painting is characterised by vivid colouring and the rounded forms of a very elaborate drawing. He is therefore considered to be a painter of the late Mannerist aesthetic. Among his best-known works is the main altarpiece of Plasencia Cathedral.
