DOMINGO FERNÁNDEZ GONZÁLEZ (Seville, 1862 - Buenos Aires?, 1918). "Young Man in an Interior". Oil on canvas. Signed in the upper left corner. It presents a restoration on the back, and a label of the English gallery "Sammer Galleries". Measurements: 56,5 x 46,5 cm; 90 x 80 cm (frame). A young woman with a lively expression, wearing a scarf under which her red hair spreads, looks at us with curiosity. She is wearing a frilly skirt and a bright pink shirt. Behind her, a white wooden bed occupies a room with a couple of paintings hanging on the walls. Using sinuous, energetic touches, the painter captures the interior atmosphere and the girl's carefree character with a veristic zeal. A painter of landscapes and genre scenes, Domingo Fernández González is a painter of whom we know only a few biographical details. He must have trained in his native Seville and no doubt furthered his studies in Rome, where he was a member of the Societá degli Acquarelisti. During his stay in Italy he also visited Venice, where he produced numerous works and studies which he later exhibited on his return to Spain in an important one-man show held in 1902 at the Sala Parés in Barcelona. Later, at a date unknown to us but probably prior to 1910, he went to Argentina, settling in Buenos Aires. There he took part in the Spanish Art Exhibitions that were held regularly. He is currently represented in the National Museums of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires and Havana, as well as in various private collections.

ALEJO FERNÁNDEZ (Germany?, ca. 1470-Seville, 1545). "Nativity. Oil on panel. Measurements: 47 x 35 cm. The one we present here is a Nativity painted by Alejo Fernández, the most significant painter in Seville in the first decades of the 16th century. In it, the Italian influence can be appreciated, especially significant in the perspective, composed in a rigorous manner. The general drawing of the work, especially in the case of the Virgin, is very precisely drawn and at the same time delicately defined. The colour is equally harmonious. Despite his German origin, Alejo Fernández was the representative of the early Renaissance in Andalusia. According to Pilar Silva Maroto, an art historian specialising in Hispano-Flemish and early Renaissance painting, in her biography in the Museo del Prado, "He remained in Cordoba until 1508, when he moved to Seville with his brother Jorge to work in the cathedral, where he painted the beam of the main altarpiece. His prestige was firmly established in Seville from the outset, and as soon as he arrived in the city he received important commissions, such as the main altarpiece and the altarpiece for the chapel of Santiago in the Charterhouse of Santa María de las Cuevas, which he was commissioned to paint in 1509. Worthy of note are the altarpieces commissioned by the Burgos-born Sancho de Matienzo for Villasana de Mena (Burgos), which were destroyed in 1936, and the one he made for Rodrigo Fernández de Santaella of the Virgen de la Antigua for the chapel of Maese Rodrigo in Seville. From 1520 onwards the works contracted by Alejo Fernández were mostly done in collaboration with the workshop or with other painters, with exceptions such as the Virgin of the Navigators, destined for the Casa de Contratación in Seville (ca. 1531-1536). His style - which combines his Flemish training and his debt to Italian quattrocento art - was maintained in Seville until his death, when other artists who were familiar with Romanesque art, such as Pedro de Campaña, were already gaining ground in the city. He is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the Seville Museum of Fine Arts, the Brussels Museum, the Cordoba Museum of Fine Arts and other important institutions.
