Est: $16,000 - $26,000
Juan Pantoja De La Cruz (Spanish, 1551 - 1608) Portrait of Maria Manuela (First Wife of Philip II of Spain) Oil on Canvas. Provenance: Property from the personal Collection of a Florentine Gentleman. Sight Size: 50 x 38.5 in. Overall Framed Size: 55.25 x 44 in. Note: Maria Manuela of Portugal was the eldest daughter of King John III of Portugal and Catherine of Austria. Through her mother, she was also great granddaughter to Isabel of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon. Born in 1527, she married her first cousin Philip II of Spain, son of Charles V, on November 12, 1543 in Salamanca at the age of sixteen. Four days after giving birth to their son Carlos in 1545, Maria Manuela died. In this stately portrait by Juan Pantoja de la Cruz, the Princess of Portugal is shown wearing a three-tiered jewel on her chest, which features two gemstones mounted in gold and linked together in chandelier style with a large pearl drop. It is none other than La Peregrina, at the time the largest, and most famous pearl-shaped natural pearl ever discovered. Gifted to King Philip II of Spain who, in turn, presented it to his first wife Mary I of England (Bloody Mary), the jewel was made a Spanish Crown Jewel and became one of the favorite, and most displayed, jewels among Spanish Queens. Maria Manuel?s own aunt, Margaret of Austria, was immortalized wearing it several times by de la Cruz, such as in his 1606 full-length depiction of the Queen, now in the Royal Collection of King Charles III. The jewel would continue to pass between famous hands, such as Joseph Bonaparte, Napoleon?s eldest brother, who left it in his will to his son, the future Napeleon III who later sold it in England. In recent history, the pearl belonged to Elizabeth Taylor, who received it as a gift from Richard Burton. Bought at auction for $39,000, it sold for over $11,000,000 when it reappeared on the open market in 2011. Known for his religious compositions and his alluring still lifes, Pantoja de la Cruz was most successful as a portraitist. Working during the reign of Philip II of Spain, he would join the Court in 1580 to be named official painter of the King in 1596. The influence of Alonso Sanchez Coello, under whom Cruz trained, is visible in the hieratic stature of Marie Manuela, a formal pose that had been put in place for royal portraits in the Spanish court, as well as in the treatment of light. Shadows and light contrast each other beautifully, enabling the noble subject to stand against the dark background and shine through her dazzling clothes and jewels.

ATTRIBUTED TO JUAN PANTOJA DE LA CRUZ - Portrait of a gentleman with a collar
Est: €8,400 - €16,800
ATTRIBUTED TO JUAN PANTOJA DE LA CRUZ Valladolid 1553 - Madrid 1608 Portrait of a knight with a collar. H. 1603 Oil on canvas Inscribed inventory number "54." (lower left margin) Sizes 96 x 72 cm This important portrait of a gentleman responds to the three-quarter portrait model introduced at the Spanish court by Antonio Moro and continued by Alonso Sánchez Coello and his school. Half-length, the gentleman dresses the Spanish woman with the characteristic black suit made up of a doublet and a ferreruelo. The portrayed person, presumably a prominent figure in the courtroom, grasps the belt with his right hand. On a dark background that enhances his countenance we can see great similarities with the portrait of Pedro de Franqueza y Esteve, Count of Villalonga by Juan Pantoja de la Cruz, today in a private collection in Madrid. The lechuguilla that he wears on his neck corresponds to those seen in other portraits made in the central years of the reign of Felipe III.

JUAN PANTOJA DE LA CRUZ (Valladolid, h. 1553 - Madrid, 1608). "Portrait of Felipe III"
Est: €130,000 - €150,000
Oil on canvas. Reengineered. Severe face of lily complexion, arises from the escarolada neckline, words of the poet Machado, which can be inspiring for the contemplation of this portrait. A work where the artist collects the austere and absolute bearing of the monarch Felipe III. Undisputed protagonist of his time, as his clothing faithfully reflects, characterized by the richness of the qualities and by the presence of royal symbols such as the Golden Fleece, which is arranged on the armor. This armor is inspired by the garrisons commissioned in Milan when the monarch was a child and which are currently on display in the Royal Armory of the Royal Palace in Madrid. These armor were full of rich decorations with motifs hinting at royal power through allegories. With a long bust and against a background in which the drapery stands out, the work presents aesthetic patterns similar to those seen in the portrait of Felipe III by Juan Pantoja that is in the Prado Museum. Work that was conceived between 1606 - 1608 for the Hall of Portraits of the Palace of El Pardo. The piece follows more faithful models of another work that is in the Palacio del Pardo, a copy of the original model by the Pantoja workshop, by his best disciple Bartolomé González. In these works, the king is presented to the viewer, as the maximum conductor of the armies, although they differ in composition. The piece presents a very modern interest in light that will be seen in his religious painting, although in the portrait he remained faithful to the rigid official canons established in the time of Philip II. He was an important interpreter of the courtly sphere, which he reflected through an official portrait, distant, with some rigidity, emphasized by fashion, very sober. His compositions will be simple, with few elements, and in general they will present the character of three quarters. The attention to quality and detail is also characteristic of his painting, something that can be seen in this male portrait. We also see other characteristics of Pantoja's portraiture in our work, such as the flat background, broken only by the typical baroque drapery, which brings dignity to the representation, or the modeling of the carnations, which stands out against this background for being worked with much higher volume. The firm, sure and even rigid drawing of great mastery is also typical of his work, as can be seen in this canvas. Juan Pantoja de la Cruz had to move to Madrid when he was very young, and there he trained in the workshop of Alonso Sánchez Coello, the leading court portraitist of the time.

Juan Pantoja de la Cruz, Portrait of Prince Felipe Emmanuele?
Est: $20,000 - $30,000
PANTOJA DE LA CRUZ, Juan (1551 - 1608). Portrait of Prince Felipe Emmanuele (1586 - 1605) of Savoy, half length, wearing the badges and orders of the Annunziata and St. Mauricius and Lazarus. Madrid: 1604. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated center left: 'Pantoja de la + / 1604" and with inventory number lower right: 52686. Canvas size: 24 7/8 x 18 1/2 inches; framed size: 33 1/4 x 26 1/2 inches. The young, sweetly smiling face of the sitter, captured in remarkable detail, almost appears mismatched with the imposing suit of armor he wears for his portrait. Taken just one year before his tragic death at age nineteen, this half-length portrait of Prince Felipe Emmanuele of Savoy is one of few in existence of the would-be Duke of Savoy. Painted by the artist Juan Pantoja de la Cruz, the primary portrait painter to the royal family of Philip II and Philip III, the artist is of signal importance to the Mannerism aesthetic of portrait painting. Pantoja followed the Spanish tradition of Royal Portraits, initiated with the famous portrait of Charles V by Titian, a copy of which, made by Pantoja, is at the Escorial. Antonis Mor, Alonso Sanchez Coello and Pantoja himself continued the tradition. Though Pantoja?s work was often severely criticized by historians who were prejudiced against non-Italian portraiture, in his best works Pantoja achieved a level of sophistication with powerful contrast of light and shadow. His portraits are noted for the meticulous detail of the intricate embroidery of dresses and jewelry designs, and, as evidenced in this work, elaborate armor. The subject is usually portrayed standing against a dark background, with the face and hands depicted with a more flat and subtle technique. Among his most well known works is the portrait of Philip II wearing a cape and hat all in black, painted around 1594 for the Escorial. This portrait is one of the best representations of the idea of Spanish majesty, based on the remoteness of the monarch. On Philip II's death in 1598, Philip III confirmed Pantoja's status as court painter. When the court settled in Valladolid in 1601, Pantoja moved to the new capital, remaining in this city for several years. The subject of this painting, Felipe Emmanuele of Savoy, was the eldest son of Carlo Emmanuele, Duke of Savoyand the Infanta Dona Catalina Micaela of Austria, daughter of King Philip II of Spain. Felipe Emmanuele died unmarried in 1605, just prior to his nineteenth birthday. With his death his younger brother Vittorio Amadeo succeeded his father as Duke of Savoy in 1630, having married Princess Christina (1606-1663), daughter of King Henry IV of France, on February 10th 1619. There is a three-quarter length portrait of Felipe Emmanuele in Bilbao, Museo de Bellas Artes.
