PEDRO ATANASIO BOCANEGRA (Granada, 1638 - 1689). "Immaculate Conception". Oil on canvas. Relined. Presents restorations.
Est: €3,500 - €4,000
PEDRO ATANASIO BOCANEGRA (Granada, 1638 - 1689). "Immaculate Conception". Oil on canvas. Relined. Presents restorations. Measurements: 81 x 61 cm; 100 x 84 cm (frame). The painting corresponds to the theme, composition and technique of Pedro Atanasio, very influenced by Alonso Cano and Van Dyck. Pedro Atanasio de Bocanegra, a disciple of Alonso Cano, Pedro Moya and Juan de Sevilla, became in the 1660s the most active artist in his hometown. His first known work was the decorations for the Corpus Christi festivities in his hometown in 1661. During the following years we find commissions such as the series of canvases he executed between 1665 and 1666 for the cloister of the convent of Nuestra Señora de Gracia, now lost; or the numerous paintings, among them the "Conversion of St. Paul", which he painted between 1668 and 1672 for the altar of the college of the Society of Jesus, now the church of Saints Justo and Pastor (in situ). At the same time he was commissioned to decorate the Carthusian monastery of Granada with large scenes on the life of the Virgin, a set that includes two works currently preserved in the Prado Museum: "Apparition of the Virgin to St. Bernard" and "The Virgin and St. Peter giving the rule to some Carthusian friars". He was also appointed painter of the cathedral. After this period he went to Seville in 1686, and from there he left for the court of Madrid, where he was protected by Don Pedro de Toledo, Marquis of Mancera. Thanks to the influence of his protector, Bocanegra achieved the title of painter of the king "ad honorem" for his painting "Allegory of Justice", inspired by a Venetian print of the mid-sixteenth century, and currently preserved in the Royal Academy of San Fernando. Other conserved works of his are "The Adoration of the Eucharist" (convent of the Góngoras, Madrid), several portraits of members of the Trinitarian order (Palace of Charles V, Granada), as well as those conserved in the Prado: several paintings representing the Virgin and Child and different saints, and "The Triumph of David". After his stay in Madrid, Pedro Bocanegra returned to Granada, where he met the painter and architect Teodoro de Ardemans, who portrayed him in a canvas kept in the archbishop's palace of Granada. Bocanegra developed a style close to that of his master Cano, being admired for the great charm of his religious images, represented with great delicacy. His weakness in drawing was compensated with a pleasant coloring, very worked, which demonstrates his interest in contemporary Flemish art, especially that of Anton van Dyck. In addition to the aforementioned art galleries and religious centers, we can currently find works by this master in the Museum of Zaragoza, the Museum of Goya in Castres, the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art in Vitoria and the Museum of Fine Arts in Granada, as well as in various private collections. It presents restorations.

Attributed to Pedro Anastasio Bocanegra (1638-1689), Saint Anne and Saint Joaquín receiving the Virgin, Granada Baroque school of the 17th century
Est: €3,000 - €4,000
Oil on canvas. 70 x 50 cm. No frame attached, no relining. Painter from Granada born in 1638, disciple of Alonso Cano, whom Palomino defines as “naturalist consequently, very lukewarm in drawing”, and a simple composition of marked diagonals so characteristic of the painter's style, Bocanegra places the Virgin on a landscape seated with the Child and Saint Juanito. Some angels descend resolutely with a strong foreshortening and carry a crown of flowers and a palm; others play with the Lamb, diverting the viewer's gaze. The master's stroke in the eyes and faces of the Virgin, San Joaquín and Santa Ana created by Bocanegra is indisputable: penetrating eyes, slanted eyelids and delicate gesture. Despite the dirt on the canvas, with a simple restoration all its color will be restored to the work, its state of conservation is optimal and original, without significant repainting or restorations. Works to compare: the “Mystical Marriage of Saint Catherine” from the Convent of Saint Catherine of Zafra, and the Child with Saint Isabel and the Child” preserved in the Prado Museum. Provenance: important private collection of Andalusian nobility.

Est: €3,000 - €4,000
Attributed to PEDRO ANASTASIO BOCANEGRA (Granada, 1638 - 1689) "Salvator Mundi". Oil on canvas. The original canvas is preserved. It has a frame from the Spanish 18th century. Measurements: 75,5 x 56 cm; 73 x 63 cm (frame). This oil painting shows Christ as "Salvator Mundi", an iconography that represents the Christological concept of Jesus Christ as universal saviour, in relation to his role as judge in the Final Judgement and to his character of Redeemer. It is characterised by Christ raising his right hand in a sign of blessing, while with his left hand he supports an orb symbolising the universe, emphasising the universal nature of Christian doctrine and Christ's redemptive act. From its style, we can relate this image to the hand of Pedro Atanasio de Bocanegra, a painter from Granada who was a disciple of Alonso Cano, Pedro Moya and Juan de Sevilla, the most active artist in Granada in the 1660s. His first known work was the decorations for the Corpus Christi festivities in his native city in 1661.

PEDRO ANASTASIO BOCANEGRA (Granada, 1638-1689). "Immaculate". Oil on canvas. Attached informs of Don Enrique Valdivieso. Keep original canvas.
Est: €7,500 - €8,000
PEDRO ANASTASIO BOCANEGRA (Granada, 1638 - 1689). "Immaculate Conception. Oil on canvas. Enclosed is a report by Don Enrique Valdivieso. Preserves original canvas. It presents faults on the pictorial surface and perforations. It shows restorations and signs of woodworm. Measurements: 189 x 144 cm; 200 x 154 cm (frame). In the words of Don Enrique Valdivieso "this Immaculate Conception is based on the composition of a painting with the same theme by Alonso Cano for the Cathedral of Granada, although, in this case, Bocanegra does not copy it exactly but recreates it admirably. The Virgin is depicted with a very elongated canon, dressed in white and blue, resting her feet on a pedestal composed of three cherub heads. Mary wears long hair, which falls over her shoulders, and her head is surrounded by a halo of twelve brilliant stars. Her face is beautiful, sweet and self-absorbed, describing a facial prototype that Bocanegra constantly repeated in his production when depicting the Virgin's face; very personal and characteristic is the drawing of her hands with slender, elongated fingers. The four angels flanking her on the right and left, holding the Virgin's attributes such as the rose, the mirror and the lilies, are also characteristic. The physiognomy of these angels is constantly repeated in Bocanegra's work, as is that of the three cherubs that appear at her feet. Pedro Atanasio de Bocanegra, a disciple of Alonso Cano, Pedro Moya and Juan de Sevilla, became the most active artist in his native city in the 1660s.

At the same time he was commissioned to decorate the Carthusian monastery in Granada with large scenes from the life of the Virgin, a set that includes two works now in the Museo del Prado: "Apparition of the Virgin to Saint Bernard" and "The Virgin and Saint Peter handing over the rule to some Carthusian friars". He was also appointed painter to the cathedral. After this period he went to Seville in 1686, and from there he left for the court of Madrid, where he was protected by Don Pedro de Toledo, Marquis of Mancera. Thanks to the influence of his protector, Bocanegra was awarded the title of painter to the king "ad honorem" for his painting "Allegory of Justice", inspired by a Venetian print of the mid-16th century and now in the Royal Academy of San Fernando.

After his stay in Madrid Pedro Bocanegra returned to Granada, where he met the painter and architect Teodoro de Ardemans, who painted his portrait on a canvas in the archiepiscopal palace of Granada. Bocanegra developed a style close to that of his master Cano and was admired for the great charm of his religious images, which are depicted with great delicacy.

JUAN DE SEVILLA ROMERO (Granada, 1643-1695). "Apparition of the Virgin and Child to Saint Catherine of Siena". Oil on canvas. Measurements: 86 x 65,5 cm. Typical of Juan de Sevilla's work was the representation of interiors where the furniture and the divine, that is to say, where the domestic and the miraculous, harmonize merging in spatial continuity. This is the case here with the apparition of the Virgin with a break of glory before Saint Catherine, who kneels at her feet. Next to her is a bed with a velvet canopy. Juan de Sevilla Romero was a Spanish Baroque painter who belonged to the Granada school of painting as the most direct continuator of Alonso Cano, along with Pedro Atanasio Bocanegra, with whom he had a rivalrous relationship. He trained first with Francisco Alonso Argüello, then with Pedro de Moya, and went on to work with Alonso Cano from 1660 onwards. The influence of his master and of Flemish engravings, especially Rubens, are the fundamental characteristics of his painting. From 1674 onwards he received numerous commissions for different churches and convents in his city, such as the two canvases in the sacristy of the convent of San Jerónimo (in situ), San Pantaleón for San Felipe Neri (Granada Museum of Fine Arts), Triumph of the Eucharist for the Augustinian nuns (in situ) and The Disciples of Emmaus in the Hospital del Refugio and convent of San Antón in Granada, among others. He also worked in Cordoba and Seville, where he collaborated on the tempera decorations for the Corpus Christi celebrations. Other works by the artist include The Holy Family (Museo de la Pasión, Valladolid), the Pietà (Seville cathedral), the Santas (National Museum of Poznan, Poland) and Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple and The Rich Epulon and the Poor Lazarus (Prado, the former from the royal collections and the latter acquired in 1928).

In this work the Virgin with the Child is presented following the usual forms within the devotional painting of the Spanish Baroque: Mary appears half-length, with the Child in her lap, in the foreground and on a neutral, dark and flat background, on which the figures stand out directly illuminated. This is a typically Baroque work, which emphasises the love between mother and Child through a naturalistic and tender representation, with the two figures joining heads and embracing. During the 17th and 18th centuries, ambitious pictorial series and extensive iconographic programmes were created for churches and convents, as well as printed prints, medals and reliquaries for private devotion. As a whole, regardless of their size or medium, these images fulfilled the aim of sacralising everyday life beyond the altars. As for the Granada school, when Alonso Cano returned to Granada in 1652, he attracted all the artists to him. It could almost be said that the features that characterise the school are the features of its style. Thus, in all of them, the search for the ideal and elegant in the types, the avoidance of realism and genre scenes, paying little attention to portraiture and almost no attention to still life. Rich colour intonations abound in all of them, with specific palette preferences, such as the use of asphalt, as well as a taste for Flemish painting, which would have been encouraged by Pedro de Moya, who is said to have travelled to Flanders and England. From its style, we can relate this image to the hand of Pedro Atanasio de Bocanegra, a painter from Granada who was a disciple of Alonso Cano, Pedro Moya and Juan de Sevilla, the most active artist in Granada in the 1660s. His first known work was the decorations for the Corpus Christi festivities in his native city in 1661. During the following years we find commissions such as the series of canvases he executed between 1665 and 1666 for the cloister of the convent of Nuestra Señora de Gracia, now lost; or the numerous paintings, including the "Conversion of Saint Paul", which he painted between 1668 and 1672 for the altar of the college of the Society of Jesus, now the church of Saints Justo and Pastor (in situ). At the same time he was commissioned to decorate the Carthusian monastery in Granada with large scenes from the life of the Virgin. He was also appointed painter to the cathedral. After this period he went to Seville in 1686, and from there he left for the court of Madrid, where he was protected by Don Pedro de Toledo, Marquis of Mancera. Thanks to the influence of his protector, Bocanegra was awarded the title of painter to the king "ad honorem" for his painting "Allegory of Justice", inspired by a mid-16th-century Venetian print and now in the Royal Academy of San Fernando. After his stay in Madrid, Pedro Bocanegra returned to Granada. In addition to the aforementioned art galleries and religious centres, works by this master can now be found in the Zaragoza Museum, the Goya Museum in Castres, the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art in Vitoria and the Fine Arts Museum in Granada, as well as in various private collections.

PEDRO ANASTASIO BOCANEGRA (Granada, 1638 - 1689). "Virgin with Child". Oil on canvas.
Est: €10,000 - €12,000
PEDRO ANASTASIO BOCANEGRA (Granada, 1638 - 1689). "Virgin with Child". Oil on canvas. Measurements: 82 x 65 cm; 106 x 90 cm (frame). In this work the Virgin with the Child is presented following the usual forms within the devotional painting of the Spanish Baroque: Mary appears half-body with the Child in her arms, in the foreground and on a neutral, dark background, on which the figures stand out voluminous and directly illuminated. The painting corresponds to the theme, composition and technique of Pedro Atanasio, very influenced by Alonso Cano and Van Dyck. It emphasizes the love between mother and son through a naturalistic and tender representation, with the two characters joining heads. Pedro Atanasio de Bocanegra, a disciple of Alonso Cano, Pedro Moya and Juan de Sevilla, became the most active artist in his native city in the 1660s. His first known work was the decorations for the Corpus Christi festivities in his hometown in 1661. During the following years we find commissions such as the series of canvases that he executed between 1665 and 1666 for the cloister of the convent of Nuestra Señora de Gracia, now lost; or the numerous paintings, among them the "Conversion of St. Paul", which he painted between 1668 and 1672 for the altar of the school of the Society of Jesus, now the church of Saints Justo and Pastor (in situ). At the same time he was commissioned to decorate the Carthusian monastery of Granada with large scenes on the life of the Virgin, a set that includes two works currently preserved in the Prado Museum: "Apparition of the Virgin to St. Bernard" and "The Virgin and St. Peter giving the rule to some Carthusian friars". He was also appointed painter of the cathedral. After this period he went to Seville in 1686, and from there he left for the court of Madrid, where he was protected by Don Pedro de Toledo, Marquis of Mancera. Thanks to the influence of his protector, Bocanegra achieved the title of painter of the king "ad honorem" for his painting "Allegory of Justice", inspired by a Venetian print of the mid-sixteenth century, and currently preserved in the Royal Academy of San Fernando. Other conserved works of his are "The Adoration of the Eucharist" (convent of the Góngoras, Madrid), several portraits of members of the Trinitarian order (Palace of Charles V, Granada), as well as those conserved in the Prado: several paintings representing the Virgin and Child and different saints, and "The Triumph of David". After his stay in Madrid, Pedro Bocanegra returned to Granada, where he met the painter and architect Teodoro de Ardemans, who portrayed him in a canvas kept in the archbishop's palace of Granada. Bocanegra developed a style close to that of his master Cano, being admired for the great charm of his religious images, represented with great delicacy. His weakness in drawing was compensated by a pleasant coloring, very well worked, which shows his interest in contemporary Flemish art, especially that of Anton van Dyck. In addition to the aforementioned art galleries and religious centers, we can currently find works by this master in the Museum of Zaragoza, the Museum of Goya in Castres, the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art in Vitoria and the Museum of Fine Arts in Granada, as well as in various private collections.

Est: €4,000 - €5,000
PEDRO ANASTASIO BOCANEGRA (Granada, 1638 - 1689) "San José with Child". Oil on canvas. Relined. It presents repainting and air bubble in the re-entellation. Measurements: 102 x 77 cm. In the centre of the scene, the figure of the sleeping Infant Jesus stands out for its rounded and dazzling flesh, as the body of the Child radiates the only light of the scene. In a slightly strained posture, Jesus rests leaning on the table and on his father, as his little feet rest on Joseph's knees. Joseph gazes at his proud, inebriated son, holding one of the little feet with one of his hands in an affectionate and close attitude. Both figures are shown to the viewer in an intimate manner, set against a neutral background with few details. These allude to Joseph's profession, such as the work table, the tools and the remains of the wood carving that have fallen to the ground. Until the Counter-Reformation, the figure of St. Joseph was usually relegated to the background, as no theological importance was attached to him. After the Council of Trent, however, his leading role as the protector of Jesus during his childhood and as a guide during his youth was restored, and he is depicted here as such. In contrast to the tenderness, defencelessness and candour of the infant figure, Saint Joseph is presented as a monumental figure. Through this form of representation, the author visually emphasises the decisive role of Jesus' putative father as protector. From its style, we can relate this image to the hand of Pedro Atanasio de Bocanegra, a painter from Granada who was a disciple of Alonso Cano, Pedro Moya and Juan de Sevilla, the most active artist in Granada in the 1660s. His first known work was the decorations for the Corpus Christi festivities in his native city in 1661. During the following years we find commissions such as the series of canvases he executed between 1665 and 1666 for the cloister of the convent of Nuestra Señora de Gracia, now lost; or the numerous paintings, including the "Conversion of Saint Paul", which he painted between 1668 and 1672 for the altar of the college of the Society of Jesus, now the church of Saints Justo and Pastor (in situ).

PEDRO ATANASIO BOCANEGRA 1635 / 1689
Est: €21,000 - €28,000
"Annunciation" Painter from the Granada School, disciple of Alonso Cano. His style is very close to that of his master. He has a special sensitivity and charm in his religious images, which are delicate and with a great sense of devotion, such as this annunciation of the Virgin, made in his time in Madrid where he arrived at court under the protection of the Marquis of Manwax. He stood out mainly for his successful interpretation of colour derived from Flemish art and especially from Anton Van Dyck. The representation of the Virgin is reminiscent of the one in the same author's painting "Virgen con el Niño y Santa Isabel y San Juan" found in the Musseo del Prado. Signed with an anagram and as a painter of His Majesty and dated 1684 in the lower left corner Oil on canvas PAINTING S.XIX-XX
