Cercle de JOSÉ ANTOLÍNEZ (Madrid, 1635-1675). "Purísima". Huile sur toile. Relié. Dimensions : 141 x 96 cm ; 163 x 118 cm (cadre). José Antolínez fut l'un des artistes les plus intéressants de sa génération qui, en raison de sa mort prématurée, ne put atteindre la splendide maturité que sa formation laissait présager. Cela ne l'empêche pas d'être considéré comme un grand représentant du courant pleinement baroque qui a renouvelé la peinture à la cour d'Espagne pendant le troisième quart du XVIIe siècle. Dans son œuvre, nous pouvons percevoir l'exquise sensibilité pour la recréation des manières de Titien - toujours très présentes dans la peinture espagnole de son époque - combinée à l'accueil de la peinture élégante des maîtres nordiques Rubens et Van Dyck, et à la capture de l'atmosphère de Velázquez. Ainsi, sa technique est libre et vibrante, singulièrement séduisante dans l'utilisation de tons froids, qui se déploient dans des compositions pleines d'un mouvement vigoureux et d'une activité instable. Nous connaissons le travail de son père en tant qu'artisan menuisier, lorsque la famille était établie dans la Calle de Toledo à Madrid, bien qu'ayant un manoir dans le village d'Espinosa de los Monteros à Burgos. Palomino nous a transmis l'image d'une personne de nature hautaine et vaniteuse, tellement consciente de sa propre valeur qu'elle était souvent arrogante, une attitude qui lui a valu de nombreuses frictions et querelles avec d'autres collègues. Il fut l'élève de Francisco Rizi, avec lequel il se brouilla également, ce qui n'empêcha pas sa peinture d'être très appréciée par ses contemporains. Il a cultivé tous les genres : la peinture religieuse, la peinture de paysage - dont il ne reste aucun exemple -, la mythologie, le portrait et la peinture de genre. Dans le domaine du portrait, il convient également de mentionner les deux portraits d'enfants conservés au musée du Prado. Il s'agit d'œuvres qui montrent à la fois la proximité véridique des personnages et la capture de l'atmosphère qui les entoure, à tel point qu'elles étaient considérées comme des œuvres de Velázquez jusqu'à ce que Diego Angulo les attribue récemment à Antolínez. Parmi les toiles du musée du Prado, "Le passage de la Madeleine" et les deux portraits d'enfants proviennent des collections royales et deux de l'Immaculée Conception ont appartenu au musée de la Trinité, tandis que la troisième a été acquise en 1931 grâce aux fonds légués par Aníbal Morillo y Pérez, quatrième comte de Carthagène.

Provenance: Madrid, DURAN SUBASTAS, lot 82 from undetermined auction (possibly 70s-80s); Bilbao, private collection. Jose Rodriguez Losada (Iruela, 1797-London, 1870) can be considered the most famous Spanish watchmaker of the last centuries. Once his watchmaking business was established, he quickly began to be known in London, receiving numerous commissions from the Spanish and Latin American markets, as well as from the Spanish Royal House. He was appointed chamber watchmaker to Queen Elizabeth II and timekeeper to the Spanish Navy. Losada died in London in 1970, bequeathing his fortune and businesses to his sisters, nephews, personal doctor and servants. The famous watchmaker had his nephews Miguel, Francisco and Norberto as apprentices, the first of them being the trusted man of Losada until he was disinherited in 1868 due to disagreements with his uncle. Given this fact, “the house, factory and firm JR Losada are inherited in their entirety by that of his nephew Norberto.” The youngest of his nephews took charge of the business until the end of the century, losing the property due to financial problems in favor of his brother Miguel, later associated with Francisco. Norberto de Riego y Rodriguez de Losada did not respect the numbering of his uncle's clocks close to number 6275 in 1870 - the year of his death -, marking a new one around 10,000. This fact makes us see how the watch with number 9205 was made in 1877, a time when the watchmaking manufacture fell to Norberto de Riego,It is especially curious how he keeps the invoices and documentation associated with his uncle's watches, even signing apocryphally as JR Losada. The watch, its case and the associated documentation represent a first-class testimony for the study of Spanish and British watchmaking of the 19th century. It must be taken into account that there are not many perfectly documented artifacts from Norberto de Riego that are preserved. Nor are there cases from this context, such as the one preserved in the collection of Jose Daniel Barquero (ref. OR-016 JDBC from MIARB) or the invoice, closely related to the one preserved by the current Relojeria Losada in Madrid.

The Two Loves - Attributed to Alexander Roslin (Malmö, Sweden, 1718 - Paris, 1793) Swedish or French Neoclassical School of the late 18th century early 19th century Decorative and elegant oil painting on canvas measurements: 62 x 50 cm, measurements with frame from the same period: 85 x 70 cm. Provenance: important private collection from Seville. Old noble collection, Seville, Spain. Alexander Roslin (Malmö, July 15, 1718 - Paris, July 5, 1793) was a Swedish painter, specialized in portraits, of the Rococo period. He trained in his native country, Sweden. For two years he was working at the court of the Margrave of Bayreuth (1745-47). Afterwards he passed through Italy, where he was able to study the mannerist painters (Tiziano, Veronese) and the classicists (Carracci, Guido Reni). In 1752 he went to Paris, thanks to the recommendation of Louise Isabella of France, Duchess of Parma. There he became famous as a portrait painter. He portrayed the European aristocracy of the mid-18th century. He married in 1759 Marie-Suzanne Giroust. He enjoyed Boucher's friendship. From 1750 onwards he worked mainly in Paris, but there were periods when he worked in other places, called by the courts: Stockholm (1774), St. Petersburg (1775, where he painted a series of portraits of statesmen of Imperial Russia, including those of Iván Betskoi and Iván Shuválov), Warsaw and Vienna (1778).
