JOSÉ MALDONADO (Madrid, 1962). Untitled. 1992. Acrylic paint, varnish and charcoal on canvas. Measurements: 90 x 90 cm. Self-taught, José Maldonado began his activity in 1982, collaborating as an illustrator and collaborating artist in publications of the time such as La Luna de Madrid, Madrid Me Mata, Madriz and others. The artistic project that the artist has been developing during the last 15 years is focused on the impossibility of constituting an image and representation of reality that is full and intimate and at the same time capable of establishing a deep communicative link. José Maldonado says: "My work is based on suspicion, and also on the conviction of an extreme difficulty of reading and incomprehension, also extreme... that the work and the work of the artist try to save through the assumption of a void or gap, a blank space, perhaps devoid of meaning, in which communication occurs in an unregulated way (implosive and explosive). The project is in essence an allegory of communication and the desire to interpret the world and give ourselves to it as if it were our neighbor... or ourselves". José Maldonado has shown his work in international galleries such as Juana Mordo, Toni Estrany, Froment & Putman, Denise Van de Velde or Helga de Alvear, and in exhibitions held, among others, at the Prospect in Frankfurt, the CAPC in Bordeaux or the Institute of Contemporary Art in Lyon, among others. His works are kept in museums such as the Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Museo Patio Herreriano, the Ulster Museum in Belfast or the Marugame Hirai Museum in Tokyo.

SEBASTIÁN MARTÍNEZ DOMEDEL Jaén c. 1615 - Madrid 1667 Contemplative man Oil on canvas On the back inscribed: "De Pereda / ... / 900" Measurements 44.4 x 29.3 cm Bibliography: - Mantas Fernández, Rafael. Sebastián Martínez Domedel. Life and work, Instituto de Estudios Gienneses / Diputación de Jaén, 2020, cat, nº 44, 57. Sebastián Martínez Domedel is one of the most enigmatic figures in Spanish baroque painting. His apprenticeship probably ended in Córdoba with Cristóbal Vela Cobo with whom he collaborated in the pictorial decoration of the church of San Agustín where he must have known first-hand the works of Antonio del Castillo. In 1661 he visited the royal collections of El Escorial on behalf of the cathedral chapter of Jaén to copy some paintings for the Rosario altarpiece. The writer Palomino writes that Philip IV named him his painter, an unconfirmed news. Endowed with an extraordinary genius for composing novel iconographic subjects to which he imprints an unusual expressiveness of gestures, Sebastián Martínez can be considered one of the most prominent Spanish painters belonging to the naturalist movement of the second half of the 17th century. The self-absorbed countenance of the sitter, with his eyes and mouth half-open, with a gesture of rapt mysticism, can be related to the types of other works by the artist such as the "Saint Augustine of Hippo" in a private collection. Likewise, its format seems to evoke tronies, a genre of Dutch and Flemish baroque painting that represents a head or bust based on studies from life. Finally, the dimensions of this work are almost identical to the "Santiago el Mayor" (oil on canvas, 40.5 x 29.5 cm) from a private collection that was auctioned in this same room in December 2009. br> We thank Rafael Mantas Fernández for his help in cataloging this work.
