  • FRANCISCO ANTONIO VALLEJO (1722-1785). "Dolorosa", 1783. Oil on copper. Signed and dated.
    Jul. 25, 2024

    FRANCISCO ANTONIO VALLEJO (1722-1785). "Dolorosa", 1783. Oil on copper. Signed and dated.

    Est: €3,500 - €4,000

    FRANCISCO ANTONIO VALLEJO (1722-1785). "Dolorosa", 1783. Oil on copper. Signed and dated. Measurements: 56,5 x 46 cm. The Virgin of Sorrows or the Dolorosa was a theme very much to the taste of the popular devotion, which will enjoy a great diffusion especially in the works destined to chapels and private altars. The theme is usually represented as we see here, with the Virgin alone in the foreground, in a dark and undefined environment, with an undoubtedly dramatic character. Although it is a compositional formula that we will see very developed in the naturalistic baroque, here it still responds to a purely iconographic sense, and in fact derives from Flemish models, of great weight in the Spanish school even in the 16th century. On the other hand, the way of composing the image presents a large, monumental figure. The devotion to the sorrows of the Virgin has its roots in medieval times, and was especially spread by the Servite order, founded in 1233. There are many and varied iconographic representations that have as central theme the Virgin Mary in her Sorrowful aspect, being the first of them in which she appears next to the Child Jesus, who sleeps oblivious to the future of suffering that awaits him. In these works is usually present the cross, the main symbol of the Passion, embraced even by the Child, while Mary observes him with a pathetic expression. Another aspect is the one that is part of the Pietà, similar to the previous one, although her Son is here dead, not asleep, depicted as an adult and after his crucifixion. In the oldest representations of this theme, the body of Christ appears disproportionately small, as a symbol of the memory that the mother has of her Son's childhood, when she contemplated him asleep on her lap.

    Mar. 02, 2022

    FRANCISCO ANTONIO DE VALLEJO. Mexico City, Mexico (1722) / (1785). "The Imposition of the Chasuble on Saint Ildefonso Surrounded by Angels and Saints", 1776.

    Est: €33,000 - €66,000

    104 x 78 cm. Oil on copper. Signed, dated and located in Mexico in the lower right corner. Francisco Antonio Vallejo was one of the most important painters of the late Baroque period in New Spain. His works are characterised by the elegance of his figures, the serenity of his compositions and the chromatic balance, where the use of a wide range of blue tones stands out, placing him as a link between Baroque and later academic painting. In fact, Vallejo, together with Miguel Cabrera, Juan Patricio Morlete Ruiz and José de Alcibar, among others, wrote a Defence of Painting in which they petitioned the viceroy to regulate the painting profession and create a Mexican Academy. As for his output, he produced three outstanding works for the church of La Enseñanza in Mexico; the sacristy of the chapel of the Colegio de San Ildefonso; and the large series of the Life of Saint Elias in the convent of El Carmen in San Luis Potosí.
