ANTONIO LÓPEZ GARCÍA (Tomelloso, Ciudad Real, 1936). "Carmen recién nacida", 2012. Steel. Copy 1/10. Enclosed certificate of authenticity issued by the author. It has a wooden and methacrylate box with a small tear. Signed and numbered. Measures. 5,5 x 7,5 x 4,5 cm; 27 x 21 x 21 x 21 cm (box). This 2012 steel piece is based on the model created by Antonio López in 1999 in which he paid homage to his newborn granddaughter. Carmen, the little girl's name, became a constant in his work, as her face allowed him to sculpt the values of childhood, the softness of forms and innocence reflected in rounded, yet gentle and delicate features. This piece is closely related to the work known as "Night" or "Carmen asleep", which is paired with the sculpture "Day" or "Carmen awake", both located in Madrid's Atocha station. A painter and sculptor, Antonio López began his artistic training in his native land, where he took classes with the master painter Antonio López Torres. It was thanks to his artistic facility, his talent and the support of his uncle, which led him to begin his studies in Madrid, at the San Fernando Academy. In order to gain admission, he attended courses at the School of Arts and Crafts in the afternoons. This preparation helped him to gain admission to the academy at the age of 14. During his time as a student he made friends with other artists of his generation such as Enrique Gran, Amalia Avia and Lucio Muñoz, what has come to be known as the Madrid School. In 1955, after finishing his studies at the School of Fine Arts, he left for Italy, where he travelled thanks to a scholarship. After finishing his studies, in 1957, he made his individual debut in Madrid at the Ateneo, with an exhibition he had prepared in his native Tomelloso. A year later, thanks to a competition held by the Fundación Rodríguez Acosta, he travelled to Greece with a grant. After his return to Madrid in the 1960s, his presence in galleries was reiterated, thanks to the contacts generated through his exhibition at the Biosca Gallery. Antonio López's work generated great interest in different parts of Europe, the United States, China and Korea. In 1993 the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid dedicated an anthological exhibition to him. His work is characterised by the use of a realist language, showing a great interest in portraiture, although it also includes subjects such as landscape. He is a member of the San Fernando Academy, and his awards include the Prince of Asturias Prize for the Arts and the Velázquez Prize for Plastic Arts. In 2008 the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston devoted a monographic exhibition to him, as will the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts in 2011. He is represented at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the ARTIUM in Vitoria, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Fundación Juan March and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao, among others.

VICENTE LÓPEZ PORTAÑA (Valencia, 1772 - Madrid, 1850) "Portrait of a Lady. Oil on canvas. It presents faults on the pictorial surface. Bibliography: Díez, José Luis, Catalogue, Vicente López (1772-1850). Catalogue raisonné. Volume II. Madrid, Fundación de Apoyo a la Historia del Arte Hispánico, 1999, pp.188 (P-735) and 758. It has a 20th-century frame following antique models. Measurements: 46 x 35 cm; 64.5 x 50.5 cm (frame). This work shows features inherited from the painting of López Portaña, influences which can be seen in the objective treatment of the sitter, without any hint of idealisation. It follows a realistic style, influenced by the naturalist tradition. In addition, in the work, we can see the artist's interest in portraying the fabrics and the different qualities that make up the lady's clothing, something very much to Vicente López's taste. Vicente López began his training as a disciple of Antonio de Villanueva at the San Carlos Academy in Valencia, where he was awarded the first-class prize in 1786 and 1789, obtaining a pension to study in Madrid. Once at court, the following year he won first place in the competition at the San Fernando Academy. There he learnt the baroque and colourful sense of composition and a taste for precise and analytical drawing. The Baroque lavishness of the frescoes of Luca Giordano and Corrado Giaquinto also had a decisive influence on his language. Now an established artist, he returned to his native city in 1792. There he received important public and private commissions, including portraits of Ferdinand VII and Marshal Soult. In his portraits López shows his Valencian heritage, the weight of the naturalism of Ribera and Ribalta, as well as his mastery in the reproduction of details and qualities. His quality in the field of portraiture led Ferdinand VII to summon him back to court in 1814, appointing him the following year as his first court painter. From then on he became the most sought-after painter by Spanish high society, alternating his work at court with teaching, official posts and private commissions. In 1823 he took over the artistic direction of the Royal Museum of Paintings, for which he painted a superb portrait of Francisco de Goya, now in the Prado. Works by Vicente López are kept in the Museo del Prado, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia San Pío V, the Academia de San Fernando, the Museo Municipal de Játiva, the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña, the New York Historical Society, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome and the Fundación Lázaro Galdiano in Madrid.
