      ATTRIBUTED TO FLORENTINO DECRAENE Tournai, France (1795) / Madrid (1852) "Portrait of Francisco de Asis de Borbon" and "Portrait of the Infante Don Enrique de Borbon"

      Est: €8,700 - €11,600

      Pair of gouaches on ivory Adhered to a secondary support. Slight breaks in the ivory. Florentino Decraene trained in Tournai with his father and the painter Piat-Joseph Sauvage (1744-1818). He arrived in Spain in 1825 to be part of the Royal Lithographic Establishment at the request of Jose de Madrazo, who was surprised by his work in the lithographic studio that he had set up in Paris with his brother. In Madrid he alternated the activity of lithographer with that of miniaturist, a trade that he had learned with Sauvage. Decraene revolutionized miniature portraiture at that time in Spain due to the innovation and quality of his miniatures, receiving the title of honorary chamber painter in 1849. His miniatures seek greater individualism of the characters, influenced by the literary atmosphere of the time, and they absorbed the best of Spanish art, moving away from the aesthetics of French miniatures, which until then had been predominant, creating their own style marked by their high quality, as can be seen in this pair of portraits. These works have a valid CITES certificate with numbers ES-MT-51399/23C and ES-MT-51400/23C issued in 2024 Measurements: 11.6 x 9.5 cm and 11 x 9.2 cm

      Est: €1,000 - €1,200

      FLORENTINO DECRAENE (Tournai, 1793-Madrid, 1852) "Portrait of a Gentleman, circa 1820. Gouache on vellum. It has an old frame with damage on the back. Signed in the lower area. Size: 3,7 x 3 cm; 4,5 x 4,5 cm (frame). Portrait of a gentleman signed by Florentino Decraene, who began his artistic education with his father, although he later continued his training under the orders of Piat-Joseph Sauvage (1744-1818), widely known at the French court for his contact with Louis XVI. He went on to study at the Academy of Tournai. In 1820 he moved to Paris where he opened a lithographic studio. When the Florentine business did not prosper, he moved at the behest of José de Madrazo, the first curator of the royal collections, and produced a series of lithographs based on paintings from the Spanish royal collections. He was subsequently appointed painter to Queen Isabella II in 1849 and became the court's most famous miniaturist. Miniature portraits developed in Europe from the 16th century onwards. They consisted of small paintings set in objects such as medallions, table clocks or small boxes. The frame of these portraits was usually oval or circular. They were executed in a wide variety of techniques, such as oil on copper, pewter or ivory, gouaches on parchment or cardboard and, from the 18th century, watercolour on ivory. This delicate art was gradually lost from the second half of the 19th century, in parallel with the development of photography.
