Lot 91

Novo-Hispanic school. Mexico.  18th century.Table-blazon or crowning piece of a reredos, depicting St. Thomas Aquinas”.124 x 93 cm. Blazon or altarpiece painting, profusely carved and gilded, with incised decoration of scrolls, flowers and geometrical designs made in polychrome and estofado technique, with a biretta in black centered above it.  It has a central cartouche with an oil painting on panel of the Saint and Doctor of the Dominican Church (since 1567, proclaimed by Pope St. Pius V), known as the Angelic Doctor, Common Doctor and Doctor of Humanity, whose work is fundamental for the study of philosophy and theology.  He was the main  defender of natural theology.With the characteristic carving style of New Spanish Mexican art, we contemplate “a complex artifact” that encloses St. Thomas Aquinas, a painting with a frame forming part of a coat of arms, or an isolated crowning piece from an altarpiece or the door of a library or a refectory or chapter room, to which it would have been integrated (in the manner of the doors of the Library of Coimbra of the Jesuit Fathers).This is a baroque artwork that shows unity and coherence, having a style which is difficult to include within formal canons.  This clearly baroque piece is not very dogmatic in its artistic execution, because it shows an extraordinary eagerness for novelty and, in the process of its creation, limitless fantasy that makes it exceptional, unique and unrepeatable.In the center, on a plain panel in the middle of this elaborate frame, we contemplate St. Thomas Aquinas, full-length and standing, depicted in a Dominican monk´s habit, wearing a white tunic with a scapular, and a black cloak with its hood thrown back.  With his right hand he holds a pen from which a halo of light or fire emanates, referring to his books and written doctrine.With the left hand he holds a monstrance. This refers to his devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, which manifested itself in particular in his magnificent composition of his Eucharistic Hymn "Adoro Te Devote."On his chest hangs a sun, which is an attribute to show his wisdom, and behind his back two large wings protrude, which allude to the moment when the angels girded the saint with the symbol of chastity.   Above his head is Christ crucified surrounded by putti, who descend from the heavens to inspire him.    The figure of the saint is depicted as a young man, beardless and with a monastic tonsure. He is superimposed on a landscape in which, at his feet, he treads and defeats the Moors and infidels, in the manner of Santiago Matamoros, as defender of “la verae doctrinae”.In the words of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI, St. Thomas Aquinas is “the model of the correct way of theology”.   He showed that there is harmony between faith and reason, that faith is not contrary to reason. St. Thomas not only dedicated himself to study and teaching, but also preached to the people. He was a theologian who knew how to speak with simplicity and kindness.   His feast day is celebrated on January 28. Provenance:- Large estate. Seville.'

Attributed to Luis de Texeda (or Detegeda) (New Spain, Mexico 17th century).                “Our Lady of Guadalupe”.Oil on canvas. 178 x 107,5 cm.Luis de Texeda was an indigenous painter active in New Spain during the 17th century. According to historical references, Texeda was known as “the Indian who had the gift” to portray Our Lady of Guadalupe with great devotion and technical precision.Among the Guadalupes signed by Texeda, there is one in the National Museum of History in Chapultepec, dated 1669 and another in the former convent in Santo Desierto de Tenancingo, Mexico, dated 1682.The painting we present here reflects the novo-Hispanic baroque style, characterized by its dramatism and ornamental richness. Luis de Texeda used a painting technique consisting of thick and carefully worked layers, which allowed him to achieve a polished finish and great luminosity. Comparing this work with other depictions of Our Lady of Guadalupe from the same period, such as those made by Juan Correa, there is a difference in the treatment of colors and facial expression. While Correa preferred lighter tones and a more translucent palette, Texeda opted for darker tones and a greater pictorial density, which endowed his paintings with a unique air of solemnity.This distinction is key to understanding Texeda's relevance as a master of Guadalupan art, whose work not only fulfilled a devotional function, but also reaffirmed the artistic skill of indigenous painters in New Spain.The composition presents the Virgin Mary surrounded by a radiant mandorla of golden hues, symbolizing her divinity and immaculate purity. The use of a palette rich in colors such as deep blue, pearly white and gold emphasizes her celestial character. The proportion of the figure follows the traditional canons for Our Lady of Guadalupe, with a serene, stylized face and a “snowy wheat” tone that relates to the descriptions of the original model. The arrangement of the drapery and the ornamental details in the clothing, especially the brocade, denote meticulous technique and a clear intention to imitate the supernatural qualities also attributed to the original.During the 17th century, the Virgin of Guadalupe was consolidated as a symbol of identity in New Spain, associated both with evangelization and with the unification of indigenous and Creole communities under a shared religious imaginary. In this context, indigenous painters such as Luis de Texeda became renowned for their ability to replicate this sacred image with a level of detail considered miraculous. The worship of Our Lady of Guadalupe spread internationally, with copies spreading to places as far away as Genoa, where its impact was even manifested in historical events such as the protection of the Doria palace with was attributed the Virgin during the French bombardment of 1684.The painting faithfully follows the model established by the original, which is painted on a cloak, incorporating elements such as the crescent moon at her feet and the angel bearing her, representing victory over sin and the alliance between heaven and earth. The solar mandorla alludes to the woman of the Apocalypse, while the use of blue and gold connects with the regal and heavenly attributes of the Virgin. Texeda's indigenous character adds a level of cultural syncretism, in which Catholic elements merge with local artistic sensibilities, reinforcing his connection to indigenous communities.Reference Bibliography:- Gruzinski, Serge.

Bernardo Rodriguez (active in Quito, Ecuador, circa 1770)"Saint Raymond of Penyafort"Oil on copper.21 x 16,5 cm.Attributed to the renowned painter Bernardo Rodríguez, an emblematic figure of the 18th-century Quito School, this work reflects his technical and artistic mastery and is executed in oil on copper. The precision of details and delicacy of brushwork suggest the piece probably dates to the mid-18th century.The artist’s draftsmanship is exceptional, evident in the composition’s impeccable organization and meticulous treatment of details.We compare this copper painting to other depictions of saints like Jerome and Augustine, also attributed to Rodríguez, which, alongside works of Saints Ambrose and Gregory the Great, form the series of the Four Fathers of the Church at the Museo de San Agustín in Quito (Ecuador). Such comparisons highlight Rodríguez’s skill in gilding and his ability to infuse artistic grandeur into even small-format compositions, as seen here. The portrayal of Saint Raymond of Peñafort adds unique dynamism through its maritime narrative and subtle landscape details.Similarly, the painting “Saint Anthony of Padua and the Miracle of the Resurrection” at Quito’s Museo Convento de San Francisco enriches this comparative analysis due to stylistic and compositional parallels with the depiction of Saint Raymond we have here. Though Saint Anthony is painted on canvas and lacks gilding, both works share remarkable precision in rendering the saint’s figure and a focus on spiritual depth. The treatment of facial features, posture, and drapery reveals evident similarities, pointing to stylistic coherence within the Quito artistic context.This context was deeply shaped by the expansion of Christian faith in Latin America and the use of art as an evangelizing tool. Such narratives were especially relevant in viceregal territories, where missionaries faced similar challenges. The Quito School, in this regard, adeptly adapted European influences into a visual language that responded to local spiritual and cultural needs.As noted by the Cervantes Virtual Center, “Bernardo Rodríguez, a muralist and painter, was a highly distinguished master among religious motif practitioners in viceregal Quito.” Supported by the Church throughout his career, he “enjoyed privileged opportunities to create canvases now admired in Quito Cathedral, the Museo de Arte Colonial, and the Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana.” His impeccable craftsmanship was inherited by disciples like Quito’s Antonio Salas (1795–1860).Saint Raymond, clad in a Dominican habit brought to life through dynamic fabric folds, dominates the center of the composition. The marine backdrop, rendered in subtle blue and white brushstrokes, evokes serenity and depth. Distant ships reinforce the narrative of the miracle, while the gilded halo and reflections on the saint’s cloak showcase the painter’s flawless mastery of materials, achieving a luminosity that elevates the painting’s spirituality—a radiant “small window to heaven” brimming with vibrant color and light.The artwork depicts Saint Raymond of Penyafort (Vilafranca del Penedès, 1176–Barcelona, 1275), a 12th-century Dominican friar and canon lawyer, experiencing the miraculous event that occured in his life. King James I, who sought his counsel, once took him on a journey to Majorca, secretly accompanied by a woman with whom the king had an illicit relationship. Upon learning this, Raymond urged the king to dismiss her, threatening to leave otherwise. The king failed to comply, and responded by ordering that no ship carry Raymond home. Undeterred, the saint spread his cloak upon the water, transforming it into an improvised vessel to cross the Mediterranean to Barcelona—a testament to how true faith can calm even the stormiest waters.A Doctor of Canon and Civil Law, Raymond was acclaimed and chosen to teach at the University of Bologna, where his students were primarily nobles and scholars. After experiencing a vision of the Virgin Mary, he co-founded the Mercedarian Order with Saint Peter Nolasco to redeem captives from Muslim rule. Summoned to Rome by Pope Gregory IX, he served as confessor, chaplain, and penitentiary. He played a role in establishing the Inquisition in Aragon and compiled five volumes that became the most organized collection of church law until the 1917 Code of Canon Law. After a decade of writing, he was elected head of the Dominican Order, succeeding Saint Dominic, and retired at nearly 100 years old. He is the patron saint of canon lawyers, jurists, and legal institutions. He died on the 6th January 1275 and was canonized in 1601 by Pope Clement VIII. Iconographically, the elements in the painting hold profound symbolism. The outstretched black cloak alludes to the miracle, while the maritime landscape, with its expansive horizon and traversing ships, adds narrative depth, situating the saint within a context of triumph and hope.Though rare, other depictions of Saint Raymond in Latin America include the portrait at Tlacochahuaya’s San Jerónimo Church in Mexico and the Convent of Santa Rosa de Lima in Santiago de Chile. In essence, this small copper painting brims with life, movement, and perspective, its lapis lazuli blues and mastery of gilding and pointillism perfecting the saint’s figure. An 18th-century scalloped and gilded frame rounds off the composition,  Bibliographic References:- Centro Virtual Cervantes.

Jose de Alcíbar (Mexico City, 1730 - 1803)"Allegory of Africa"Oil on canvas.132 x 96 cm.José de Alcíbar was one of the main exponents of New Spain painting in the second half of the 18th century. Born circa 1730, Alcíbar was remarkable in his ability to portray the ethnic and cultural diversity of New Spain and to accurately depict the physical details and symbolic elements in his characters, something that can be seen in his numerous casta paintings. These artworks, executed in a style that combines European influences with a local sensibility, are a key reference to understanding why we are attributing the painting we are analyzing to him.This is an elegant and striking painting showing one of the personifications of one of the four continents then known (Europe, Asia, Africa and America).Africa is represented here by a standing black character, who turns his head slightly to the left, as if paying attention to a voice calling him. With frizzy, curly hair, richly dressed in the manner of eighteenth-century Europe, showing wealth and abundance, with  clothing which is richly brocaded and trimmed on the sleeves and large red cloak.  The character also wears a necklace of a string of pearls and other jewelry, in the form of earrings.  They hold a sword in their right hand and a bow and arrows with their left.A Novo-Hispanic painting that helps us to gain a little more understanding of the sense that geographical allegories had in Renaissance and Baroque art.It was usually a way of demonstrating the confines of a given empire, and true to the mentality of the time, depicting a monarchy surrounded by continents was a clear expression of power, expressing that their power extended throughout the world.One of Alcíbar's best known paintings is “From Indian and Mestiza, Coyote” and “From Spaniard and Morisca, Albino”, which are in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. These paintings are part of the casta tradition, a pictorial genre that developed in New Spain and was intended to visually classify the different racial mixtures that arose from contact between Europeans, Africans and Indians. These works stand out for their detailed observation of the costumes, textures and gestures of the characters, something that is also evident in the painting of the “Allegory of Africa” that we have here.As in his casta paintings, Alcíbar uses chiaroscuro in “Allegory of Africa” to model the figure using strong contrast between light and shadows, giving it three-dimensional volume and reinforcing its presence in the composition.The depiction of clothing, with its folds, textures and finely worked details, is another characteristic shared with Alcíbar's casta paintings. The precision in the texture of the fabrics, the brilliance of the jewels and the meticulous depiction of the jewelry suggest the expert hand of a painter accustomed to capturing the material and symbolic wealth of his characters.The painting is significant not only for its artistic quality, but also for its ability to reflect colonial-era concerns and ideologies regarding ethnic diversity and the depiction of figures descended from Africa.This connection to Alcíbar's casta paintings, especially those in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, reinforces the attribution of the work and underscores the importance of José de Alcíbar as a key painter in the portrayal of racial diversity in New Spain. As the Museo del Prado states in their biographical factsheet, Alcíbar was ‘One of the most active and representative artists of the painting scene in Mexico City during the second half of the 18th century. He received numerous commissions, especially for religious paintings for various churches and portraits of leading figures in Mexican society, with a personal style that was not unrelated to the artistic processes taking place in the metropolis. Mexico City in the 18th century was a time of special cultural importance, also in artistic terms, with the founding of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos in 1784, of which Alcíbar was one of the founding members and in which he took an active part until his death. Despite the relative success of his teachings, the Academy saw the arrival in Mexico of painters trained and active in Madrid, such as Ginés Andrés de Aguirre, Cosme de Acuña, José Arias and Antonio González Velázquez, who undoubtedly enriched the horizons of the Latin American painters. The two portraits in the Museo del Prado are characteristic of one facet of Alcíbar's production, portraiture, and show the elegance and flamboyance of his brushwork.Reference bibliography:- Magali Carrera, “Imagining Identity in New Spain: Race, Lineage, and the Colonial Body in Portraiture and Casta Paintings” (2003).- Ilona Katzew, “Casta Painting: Images of Race in Eighteenth-Century México” (2004).- Museo de Arte de Filadelfia, Colección de Pinturas de Castas.- Museo del Prado.
