Lotto 107 - PEDRO DE CAMPROBIN Almagro, Ciudad Real (1605) / Seville (1674) "Still Life", c. 1660 Oil on canvas. Origin: Madrid, Granados Collection; Particular collection. Bibliography: Del Campo, J. and Palencia, JM, The splendor of the Andalusian baroque. Granados Collection, Cordoba, Caja Sur Foundation, 2007-2008, Seville, Hospital de la Caridad, 2008, pp. 66-67. Pedro de Camprobin is one of the main representatives of still life painting in the city of Seville, although his training took place in Toledo with the painter Luis Tristan. His work evolved from a naturalism with a strong tenebrist imprint, as demonstrated by the Still Life preserved in the Meadows Museum in Dallas, towards a much more personal style in which the influence of local tradition is evident, exemplified by the works of Juan de Zurbaran, creating a type of elegant, austere and expressive still life. His paintings tended towards sober and reduced color palettes, often featuring some elements typical of flamenco art such as the presence of butterflies and insects. The painting presented here, which once belonged to the Granados collection, is a good example of the sobriety that characterizes his still lifes. On a table we found a crystal glass, a bunch of radishes, cheese, a bottle of wine, some peaches and a loaf of bread arranged. The masterful modeling of these objects, built through a subtle gradation of light, allows him to capture their different material textures such as the transparency of glass or the velvety surface of fruits. The same qualities and models that we observe in the present painting, such as the cup and the peaches, can be found in other works by Camprobin such as in the Basket with Peaches and Plums in the Prado Museum (P007916). Also the same bottle, although turned upside down. In a different way, we find it in a Still Life, formerly in the Raleigh, North Carolina Museum of Art, and in two other compositions of his dated 1663 that were in a private collection in London and later passed to Switzerland. Also, in the distribution of elements of its composition and in the qualities of some objects such as the cheese, the glass cup or the loaf of bread, it presents a very close formal parallel with a Kitchen Still Life, of identical measurements, which was in a private collection from Madrid and which a few months ago was acquired to form part of the collections of the Prado Museum. Measurements: 80.5 x 102.5 cm.

Lotto 108 - ASTOLFO PETRAZZI Siena (1580 / 1653) "Musician angels" Pair of oil paintings on canvas Origin: Madrid, private collection. This pair of large canvases are a good example of Sienese baroque painting. Coming from the Italian antique market and acquired as works by Astolfo Petrazzi, they represent a pair of musical angels, one of them playing the serpent and the other a lute. Their monumental tone stands out, as they are figures that slightly exceed life size and both are inside a pair of architectural niches made of white stone, topped with semicircular arches. Knowing Roman naturalism, Petrazzi plays with the contrasts of light and shadow to give his compositions greater depth and works with perspective so that the angels seem to escape from the architectural frames that enclose them, giving both compositions great movement. Nothing is known about their remote origin, although, due to the substance of the paintings, it is easy to assume that they must have been part of a commission of great importance carried out in Siena, Spoleto or Rome; cities in which he developed his activity. From the testimony of sources we know that Petrazzi produced countless public works and that he also took on many private commissions, creating elegant works intended for domestic devotion. Within this last group, the genre paintings stand out in which the artist resorted on more than one occasion to painting kitchen interiors and series dedicated to the seasons. Measurements: 230 x 94 cm
