JUAN VAN DER HAMEN Madrid (1596) / (1631) "Still life with game, fruit and chestnuts", 1619
Est: €360,000 - €480,000
Oil on canvas With inventory numbers "241" and "149" in the lower corners. Peter Cherry unveiled this still life by Juan de van der Hammen in 2021 in an article published in Ars Magazine, identifying this work as the first known still life by Juan Van Der Hamen, dating it to 1619 thanks to a payment of 100 reais recorded in the accounts reais in September of that year. In addition, the cleaning of the work revealed a "149" painted in white in the lower left corner, corresponding to the inventory number of the Palacio del Pardo of 1653, where it is identified as "A Small Fruit Bowl With its Gold and Black Chestnut Frame With hedgehogs”. The purpose of commissioning this painting from Van Der Hamen was to complete a set of six still lifes designed by Juan Gómez de Mora for the Palacio del Pardo Gallery, probably made up of works by Juan Sánchez Cotán or his school. Its location is documented up to the beginning of the 18th century, registered in the inventory of assets carried out on the death of Carlos II. His fate thereafter is uncertain. The existence of the inventory number "241" in white in the lower right corner has placed it at some point in history together with the "Still life of game, vegetables and fruits" by Sánchez Cotán (Museo Nacional del Prado, P7612) that had a “240” made by the same hand. The coincidence could be in El Pardo or in the Collection of Infante Gabriel de Borbón, where it is known that Cotán's work was, but there is no recorded work by Van Der Hamen. The previous existence of the still lifes in the Galería del Pardo conditioned the execution of this work by the young Van Der Hamen, barely 23 years old. The elements that it has, typically autumnal, are framed by a stone window, like those of Cotán. Despite his youth, the work already shows a solid and identifiable style with its author demonstrating a great capacity to reflect the reality of what is represented. Origin: -Mediodia Gallery, Palacio del Pardo, Madrid.

"The Fish Sellers", manner of Juan Van der Hamen y León (Madrid, April 8, 1596 - Madrid, March 28, 1631), Spanish school of the 17th century
Est: €40,000 - €50,000
Oil on oak panel, measurements: 103 x 76 cm, framed measurements: 112 x 85 cm. Juan van der Hamen y León (Madrid, April 8, 1596 - Madrid, March 28, 1631), Spanish baroque painter of the so-called Golden Age, was recognized especially for his still lifes and vases, although he also practiced religious painting, the landscape and the portrait. A versatile painter, influenced by both Juan Sánchez Cotán and the flamenco Frans Snyders in the conception of his first still lifes, and well related to the cultured environments of Madrid, he early adopted the naturalism that came from Italy. He was born in Madrid into a Flemish family belonging to the Dutch aristocracy, originally from Utrecht, and cultured. His father, Jehan van der Hamen, born in Brussels and a faithful Catholic, He had settled in Spain before 1586 and joined the Guard of the Royal Archers, the king's personal guard of Burgundian origin for which nobility was a requirement. His mother, Dorotea Whitman Gómez de León, was in turn descended from a Flemish archer and a woman from Toledo of noble origin. His older brothers, Pedro and Dr. Lorenzo van der Hamen, a canon in Granada, were writers of historical and theological works, and perhaps he himself practiced poetry. Well connected in the cultured circles of Madrid, he maintained friendships with writers such as Lope de Vega, Luis de Góngora or the playwright and editor Juan Pérez de Montalbán, who each dedicated him poetic praise. Like his father and grandfather before him, in January 1623 he joined the Flemish archery guard, More or less honorably charged with protecting the king since the time of Charles V.

Est: -
Bodegón con gran frutero y avés de caza colgadas JUAN VAN DER HAMEN Y LEÓN (Madrid, 1596-1631) Bodegón con gran frutero y avés de caza colgadas Sobre el pétreo alféizar de una fresquera reposa un gran frutero de diseño italianizante en bronce dorado y vidrio veneciano de color verde rebosante de manzanas y peras, algunas aún en sus ramas. A ambos lados y colocados de manera perfectamente simétrica, dos fruterillos con pie en balaustre, uno lleno de frambuesas y el otro de moras. Sobre ellos y cerrando la composición una pareja de aves en cada una de las esquinas colgando de sus picos esperando a ser desplumadas. El gran frutero central es el objeto que Van der Hamen pintó más que ningún otro en sus composiciones, es el elemento que el pintor prefirió para transmitir la opulencia de las despensas de la clase alta. Es en 1621 cuando el maestro concibe esta composición en la que el gran frutero aparece flanqueado por los dos fruterillos, realizando diversas versiones cambiando el contenido de los tres recipientes; se puede considerar que el primer ejemplo es el Gran Frutero con platos de pastas y dulces Confitados del Banco de España de Madrid (Jordan, pag. 91, lam.9). En el caso que nos ocupa el conjunto se completa con la presencia de la volatería, elemento que tampoco es ajeno a los usos del pintor y que por herencia de Sanchez Cotán lo utiliza ya desde 1619 para cerrar así las esquinas superiores de algunas de sus composiciones. Un buen ejemplo es el Bodegón con gran frutero y aves de caza colgadas de la Colección Várez-Fisa (Jordan, pag. 112, fig. 6.38). Como es habitual en el pintor, sobre la repisa de piedra en la que descansan los fruteros, reposan también un membrillo y unas frambuesas, quedando en parte en voladizo y hacia el espectador, en ese juego tan del gusto de Van der Hamen, en el que los objetos representados parecen querer salir del cuadro invadiendo el espacio del espectador y creando unas sombras afiladas que descienden por la silenciosa pared de piedra. Existe un lienzo que perteneció a la Colección de Antonio Hípola, gemelo a este, aunque con sutiles diferencias reproducido en Jordan, W.B. : Juan Van der Hamen y la Corte de Madrid, 2005, Patrimonio Nacional, Madrid, pag. 112, fig. 6.39. Es práctica habitual del madrileño la repetición de tipos compositivos que funcionan, concebidos en su mayoría ya antes de cumplir los veintiséis, y que realizará a lo largo de su vida llegando a ser tan famosas y a identificarse tanto con su nombre que funcionaban casi como una firma.

ANTONIO PONCE (Valladolid 1608-1677)
Est: $60,000 - $80,000
A glass bowl, a pewter plate, a tazza and wicker baskets with cherries, apples, pears, figs and other fruits, with a vase of flowers and artichokes, on stepped ledges signed 'Ant o Ponce:/f' (lower right) oil on canvas 46 x 621/2 in. (116.8 x 158.7 cm.) NOTES Antonio Ponce was born in Valladolid in 1608 but grew up in Madrid. At the age of sixteen his recently widowed mother apprenticed him to Juan van der Hamen (1596-1631), probably the most important Spanish still life painter in the first half of the seventeenth century. The ties between the two artists were further strengthened four years later when Ponce married Francisca de Alfaro, van der Hamen's niece. Van der Hamen's art had a strong influence on the younger artist. Ponce often used the compositional device of stepped ledges that van der Hamen deployed and also took particular motifs directly from his master's paintings: in the present work, for example, the plate of figs and cherries and the double basket with the glass bottle beside it come from a still life by van der Hamen in the Naseiro collection (see P. Cherry, Arte y Naturaleza. El Bodeg¢n Espa¤ol en el Siglo de Oro, Madrid, 1999, pl. XXXVI, no. 2). Interestingly, these same objects also recur in another still life by Ponce depicting the month of April ( ibid., pl. XLVIII, no. 1). The use of a relatively light background in the present work, however, distinguishes Ponce's art from van der Hamen's, and is perhaps suggestive of the indirect influence of Caravaggio's, most notably his celebrated Basket of Fruit in the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, Milan. On this basis the present still life can be tentatively dated to the 1640s.

Juan van der Hamen y L‚on (Madrid 1596-1632)
Est: $116,000 - $174,000
Figs and grapes in a basket on a ledge oil on canvas 22 x 25 in. (55.9 x 63.5 cm.) NOTES The son of a man of means and noble birth, van der Hamen, though short-lived, became one of the most illustrious painters active in Madrid. An able painter of portraits as well as religious works, Juan van der Hamen made a speciality of still lifes, often including in them the luxurious objects that appealed to the courtly tastes of his affluent patrons. The first record of his activity as a painter is found in the accounts of the royal household of El Pardo in September 1619 when he was paid 100 reales for a fruit and game piece. The demand for such works meant that he maintained a repertory of still life motifs which he used over and again in varying combinations throughout his career. The present work is among a small number of still lifes in which the fruit is placed centrally on an independent stone plinth, rather than on the usual niche. Included in this group are a Still Life with Quinces, Pears and other Fruit, sold at Christie's, New York, 19 May 1993, lot 196, and a Still Life with Peaches in a Basket offered at Christie's, New York, 15 January 1985, lot 35, two paintings which subsequent to their appearance at auction have been accepted as fully autograph works by van der Hamen. We are grateful to Dr. William B. Jordan for examining the present work in person and confirming the attribution to van der Hamen; he will include it in his forthcoming catalogue raisonn‚ of the artist's paintings.
