Est: €4,000 - €4,500
Oil on panel measuring 55 x 40 cm. Representing the Holy Mystery of the Immaculate Conception of Mary narrated in the Gospel of Luke in which the Angel, appearing before Mary, said to her: “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you”, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace before God, and you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, whom you will name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will reign in the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will have no end." Mary said to the angel: “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” The angel answered him and said: “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, and therefore the begotten son will be holy, he will be called the Son of God. And Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is now the sixth month since she was barren, because nothing is impossible with God. Mary said: “Behold the servant of the Lord; Let it be to me according to your word". And the angel left her. (Luke 1, 26-38). Provenance: private collection, Barcelona.

La Virgen de la pera
Est: -
Presenta importante marco en madera tallada y dorada de estilo neogótico. Esta obra muestras claras características de estilo que permiten reconocerla como perteneciente a la escuela sevillana de mediados del siglo XVI y, además, considerarla obra del pintor Luis de Vargas (1503 – 1568), quien la realizaría aproximadamente hacia 1560. El tipo físico de la Virgen y especialmente la expresión de su rostro, es totalmente característico de Luis de Vargas, quien durante largos años permaneció en Italia, principalmente en Roma, se había movido en el círculo de pintores que seguían el estilo de Rafael. De ellos sacó Vargas la elegancia clásica y el sentido de una belleza amable y serena. La figura del Niño y especialmente la expresión de su rostro son también propios y característicos del artista sevillano que en este caso supo resolver admirablemente el resto de su infantil anatomía. Otros detalles técnicos de esta pintura revelan la autoría de Vargas, como la marcada ejecución del dibujo en la realización de los pliegues de la túnica y del manto de la Virgen. Muy importante es el sentido iconográfico que alberga esta pintura, ya que la aparición de la media luna a los pies de María, señala claramente que está representada bajo la advocación de la Inmaculada. Por ello va vestida con túnica blanca y manto azul según la visión que había tenido la beata Beatriz de Silva, que vio a la Virgen vestida con estos colores. Esta beata fundó la Orden de la Inmaculada Concepción en 1454. Por sus grandes dimensiones, esta tabla es posible que fuese la pieza central de un retablo que por su fecha debió de ser una de las primeras representaciones de la Inmaculada en el arte sevillano. Al menos en nuestro conocimiento, no existe ninguna obra con esta iconografía anterior a ella. Se adjunta certificado realizado por D. Enrique Valdivieso González, catedrático de Historia del Arte de la Universidad de Sevilla.

IMPORTANT LARGE TABLE OF ANGEL NEXT TO SAINT ANNE AND SAINT JOAQUIM, IN THE MANNER OF LUIS DE VARGAS (ALMENDRALEJO, 1505-1567), SPANISH MANNERIST SCHOOL OF THE 16TH CENTURY
Est: €35,000 - €45,000
Oil on board. Framed measurements: 175 x 122 cm, canvas measurements: 152 x 97 cm. Born in Almendralejo between 1502 and 1506, he studied alongside his father, the painter Juan de Vargas; He went to Italy very young, where, apparently, he spent most of his life and where he completed his training working in the circle of Raphael's immediate followers, among whom Perino del Vaga stands out. There he must have painted his youthful work, which has not yet been recognized, and wrote his diary in the Tuscan language to which the biographers refer and which unfortunately has not been preserved. Back in Seville, when he is about to turn 50, he works in the city and achieves great fame in his artistic circles; he died in that city in 1567, after having contributed to the renewal of Andalusian painting, by consolidating in the Sevillian school the Romanist forms introduced by the flamenco Pedro de Campaña. Francisco Pacheco, to whom his best profile is due, included in the Book of Portraits, transmitted a series of compliments about him that are not limited to the field of painting but concern the human field itself, highlighting, with fulfilled examples, his modesty and religiosity.

LUIS DE VARGAS (attr. a)
Est: €1,500 - €2,000
(Almendralejo, 1505? - 1567) Cristo con la Croce Olio su tavola, cm 42X30 Provenienza: Barone Raoul de Kuffner (1938) New York, Christie's, 15 maggio 1996, lotto 107 (come Scuola spagnola del XVI secolo) Italia, collezione privata Il barone austro-ungarico Raoul Kuffner, collezionista e successivamente nel 1933 consorte di Tamara de Lempicka, fu il proprietario dell'opera e lo sappiamo certamente a New York nel 1943 dove la pittrice continuì la sua attività artistica. Lionello Venturi, invece, dopo aver rifiutato di giurare fedeltà al fascismo nel 1931 fu confinato a Lipari. Il 3 gennaio del 1932 partì per gli Stati Uniti, approfittando dell'invito a tenere una serie di conferenze ad Harvard per poi tornare in Europa risiedendo a Parigi. Tornì perì a New York nel 1939 quando scoppiì la Seconda guerra mondiale. Negli anni trascorsi in America, Venturi fu chiamato a insegnare alla Johns Hopkins University di Baltimora (1940), in California (1941), a Città del Messico (1942) e all'École libre des hautes études di New York (1943 - 1944), nonché a tenere conferenze e corsi a Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia e in altre città americane. Il dipinto non sappiamo quando fu acquisito dal barone e si presume che fu esitato in asta dagli eredi, per quanto riguarda l'attribuzione, l'origine spagnola dell'autore è inequivocabile, mentre il tema rappresentato trova origine dal Cristo portacroce eseguito da Sebastiano del Piombo. Trova così supporto il soggiorno romano del pittore tra il 1523 e il 1653. L'opera è corredata da una perizia scritta il 26 ottobre 1942 a New York da Lionello Venturi.
