Attributed to GABRIEL DE LA CORTE (Madrid, 1648 - 1694). Spanish school, XVII century. "Vase". Oil on canvas. Measurements: 87.5 x 74 cm: 98 x 83.5 cm (frame). This painting follows a compositional scheme that knew great boom during the Spanish Baroque: The still lifes of flowers. In the way of resolving the varied bouquets of cheerful colors, in which a dense brushstroke of bright pigment has been used, the hand of Gabriel de la Corte is recognizable. The chromatic juiciness of the floral piece advances rococo solutions, which break symmetry and tend to horror vacui. The painter has frozen the moment of maximum maturity of the flower, prior to its decay. The dark background highlights the light of the still life, extracting a wide range of shades. The freedom of execution and vigorous brushstroke are reminiscent of the work of the master from Madrid. Specializing in the execution of vases, Gabriel de la Corte was the son of another painter from Madrid, Lucas de la Corte, although his paternity has been the subject of debate among important scholars such as Antonio Palomino and Cean Bermúdez. During his lifetime, De la Corte's success was scarce, which led him to eke out a meager living by painting at low prices and even completing the works of other artists by inserting flowers in his works. He was known for the use of an overloaded composition in which the freedom of the workmanship and the spontaneous and vigorous touch of the brush loaded with matter prevail. De la Corte's style is influenced by those of Arellano and anticipates the flower still lifes that, later on, would be crowded with complicated compositions on tremendously elaborated cartouches. Some important works by De la Corte are preserved in the Prado Museum, among other important institutions.

Est: €9,000 - €12,000
Attributed to GABRIEL DE LA CORTE (Madrid, 1648 - 1694). "Allegory of time with a border of flowers". Oil on canvas. Relined. Work reproduced in Peter Cherry, "El bodegón español en el siglo de Oro. Foundation for the Support of the History of Hispanic Art. 1999.p. 46. Measurements: 32 x 40 cm; 40.5 x 52 cm (frame). We see in this canvas a typical composition of the baroque period inherited from the Low Countries. It is a scheme that combines a garland with an allegorical representation of devotional type in the interior. The author combines the genres of painting in search of greater sumptuousness and a sense of theatricality, almost trompe l'oeil, very much to the taste of Baroque painting. It should be noted that, in this type of composition, the flowers are not simply a secondary or accessory element, but are worked with the same care and quality as the central image. In fact, sometimes they even show a more skilled hand, as these works were often the result of the collaboration of a painter of flowers and another specialized in the human figure. In this particular work a great mastery can be appreciated, both in the floral composition and in the scene depicted inside. An image in which the Eucharist is glorified. The aesthetics of the work resembles the stylistic patterns of the Baroque painter Gabriel de la Corte, specialized in the realization of vases, he was the son of the painter Lucas de la Corte, also from Madrid, although his paternity has been the subject of debate among important scholars such as Antonio Palomino or Cean Bermudez. During his lifetime, De la Corte's success was scarce, which led him to eke out a meager living by painting at low prices and even completing the works of other artists by inserting flowers in their works. The work presented here follows, therefore, the basic characteristics of Gabriel de La Corte, presenting a pair of paintings of flowers arranged in vases, originating an overloaded composition in which the freedom of the invoice and the spontaneous and vigorous touch of the brush loaded with matter prevail. De la Corte's style is influenced by those of Arellano and anticipates the still lifes of flowers that, later on, will be crowded with complicated compositions on tremendously elaborated cartouches. Thus, we are faced with two mature works by De la Corte, in which the vases are filled with dense and varied bouquets of brightly colored flowers, made from dense brushstrokes. Of marked verticality, these are imaginative compositions that prelude the arrival of rococo, in which symmetry is broken with and tends to horror vacui. In them, the flowers still appear full, voluminous, in all their splendor, as will be typical of the baroque (in the rococo, however, the flowers will be preferred half-open, not so full). However, the vases are placed in the strict center of the painting, contained in elaborate vases, on pedestals finished in rocaille and before a dark background on which the flowers are cut out, vividly illuminated. However, the arrangement of the flowers has already lost the strict rigor and austerity of the naturalistic baroque. From a luminous point of view, the fact that De la Corte has concentrated the light-colored flowers in a single point, thus turning the luminous flowers into chromatic highlights that stand out in the composition and attract the viewer's attention, stands out. His intuitive technique, based on the realization of works painted on wet, through which the artist intends -and achieves- to transmit the impression of a wide range of tonalities, stands out. Some important works by De la Corte are preserved in the Prado Museum, among other important institutions. Work reproduced in Peter Cherry, "El bodegón español en el siglo de Oro.

It has a XVII century frame with damage caused by xylophagous. Measurements: 31,5 x 40 cm; 40 x 51,5 cm (frame). This painting follows one of the compositional schemes that was most popular during the Spanish Baroque: the religious theme is surrounded by a garland of sensual flowers, whose prominence is not less than that of the central theme. The hand of Gabriel de la Corte is recognizable in the way of resolving the varied bouquets of cheerful colors, in which a dense brushstroke of brilliant pigment has been used. The chromatic juiciness of the floral piece advances rococo aesthetic solutions, which break symmetry and tend to horror vacui. The painter has frozen the moment of maximum maturity of the flower, prior to its decay. The enormous corollas dwarf the central image, which depicts Saint Barbara, who is portrayed holding the tower in one of her hands.

GABRIEL DE LA CORTE Madrid (1648 / 1694) "Garlands of flowers with masks and brunailles representing Diana and Endymion"
Est: €33,000 - €44,000
Pair of oil paintings on canvas. Gabriel de la Corte is considered by historiography as the best representative of flower painting in Madrid in the second half of the 17th century. Supposed to be a disciple of Juan de Arellano, his style is characterized by presenting variegated compositions, with a type of loose, spontaneous and highly impastoed line. As can be seen in this pair of canvases, his coloring is very bright and through this effect he is in charge of enhancing the freshness of the different botanical species that he represents, also seeking to recreate a certain impression of movement. These flowers, with their bright colours, stand out against the neutral background of both compositions and, Far from adjusting to his taxonomic particularities, the painter focuses on capturing a beautiful vital sensationalism. In the genre of flower painting, his works are pioneers in preluding the rococo style of the 18th century, showing in many cases asymmetries and introducing novel elements of his time such as capriciously shaped architectural masks or scrolls. The pair of canvases presented here are a magnificent example of this, as they contain all these ingredients, to which is also added a beautiful pair of brunailles with the mythological theme of Diana and Endymion. In the composition on the left we find the goddess Diana, carrying the bow, but personified as Selene or the Moon by displaying the crescent moon over her head. On the right is the shepherd Endymion lying in the field. Legend has it that the goddess fell in love with Endymion and, dazzled by his beauty, acquired the habit of going to kiss him every night while he slept. By her perpetual vow of chastity and with the intention of curbing her instincts, she asked Zeus to plunge the shepherd into a deep perpetual sleep so that she could contemplate him and enjoy his company forever. The representation of the mythological passage in this pair of floral compositions clearly indicates that the client for these paintings was an educated person with great erudition and belonged to the nobility or high bourgeoisie of the time.

Gabriel De La Corte (Madrid, 1648 – Madrid, 1694) Natura morta con uva, pesche, fichi e garofani
Est: €6,000 - €8,000
Gabriel De La Corte è un affascinante pittore della fine del Seicento di cui si sa poco e nulla. Le poche fonti a lui contemporanee che accennano alla sua vita ci informano che fu figlio del pittore spagnolo Francisco de la Corte, che era a sua volta fratello di Juan de la Corte, uno dei rari allievi noti di Velazquez. Stando alle fonti Gabriel, nonostante fosse figlio d’arte, non ebbe alcun maestro, in quanto suo padre morì che egli aveva appena dodici anni.Da autodidatta si dedicò esclusivamente alle nature morte di fiori e frutti, che eseguì sempre con grande perizia; nonostante la sua abilità, però, non riuscì mai ad avere molto successo, né incarichi importanti. È questo di certo uno dei motivi per i quali abbiamo scarse informazioni circa la sua attività. Di certo era un pittore leggermente “in anticipo” sui tempi: sfortunatamente il genere della natura morta con fiori e frutti avrà un notevole successo collezionistico soprattutto nel XVIII secolo.Il suo stile è riconoscibile grazie alla grande varietà di elementi messi in scena e al gusto per lo sfondo scuro, che quasi inghiottisce i fiori e i frutti in primo piano. In questo caso la composizione è carica di elementi: al sintetico paesaggio con cascata sullo sfondo a destra, si contrappone l’insieme dei grappoli d’uva posti sulla sinistra, resi con assoluta lucentezza e vitalità.Bibl.: A.

GABRIEL DE LA CORTE (Madrid, 1648 - 1694). "Vase with flowers". Oil on canvas. Re-coloured. It has repainting and 20th century frame. Measurements: 84 x 63 cm; 102 x 82,5 cm (frame). This canvas offers us a great composition of floral motive that covers practically the whole surface. The group of flowers is placed on a wicker basket and this, in turn, on a small table or surface covered with a brown cloth. On a dark background that enhances and brightens the composition, various species of flowers such as tulips, dahlias, daffodils, roses, bluebells, among others, are joined together. The stems and leaves are twisted into arabesque shapes. Falling from the bouquet and on the cloth, there is a pink dahlia, on the other side, on the right of this same table, there is a small white butterfly with open wings. The artist painted this still life with great detail in the drawing, using a multicoloured palette with more impastoed brushstrokes in some of the flowers to enhance them, while the less visible ones are barely rendered with a fine glaze. Unlike other genre painters, Gabriel de la Corte's works are characterised by overloaded compositions, freedom of execution and his spontaneous, vigorous brushstrokes laden with paint. His style foreshadowed later developments in the 18th century. A Baroque painter specialising in vases, he was the son of the Madrid painter Lucas de la Corte, although his paternity has been the subject of debate among important scholars such as Antonio Palomino and Cean Bermúdez. De la Corte enjoyed little success during his lifetime, which led him to eke out a meagre living by painting at low prices and even completing the works of other artists by inserting flowers into their works. The present work therefore follows the basic characteristics of Gabriel de la Corte, presenting a pair of paintings of flowers arranged in vases, giving rise to an overloaded composition in which the freedom of execution and the spontaneous and vigorous touch of the brush full of matter prevail. De la Corte's style is influenced by those of Arellano and anticipates the still lifes of flowers that would later be crowded with complicated compositions on elaborate cartouches. Thus we are faced with two mature works by De la Corte, in which the vases are filled with dense and varied bouquets of brightly coloured flowers, executed with dense brushstrokes. With a marked verticality, these are imaginative compositions that prelude the arrival of Rococo, breaking with symmetry and tending towards horror vacui. In them, the flowers still appear full, voluminous, in all their splendour, as would be typical of the Baroque (in the Rococo, on the other hand, the flowers would be preferred half-open, not so full). However, the vases are placed in the strict centre of the painting, contained in elaborate vases, on pedestals finished in rocaille and set against a dark background against which the brightly lit flowers are outlined. However, the arrangement of the flowers has lost the strict rigour and austerity of the naturalist Baroque. From a luminous point of view, De la Corte concentrated the light-coloured flowers in a single point, thus turning the luminous flowers into chromatic highlights that stand out in the composition and attract the viewer's attention. Of particular note is his intuitive technique, based on the execution of wet-painted works, through which the artist seeks - and succeeds - in conveying the impression of a wide range of tonalities. Some important works by De la Corte are housed in the Museo del Prado, among other important institutions.

Attributed to GABRIEL DE LA CORTE (Madrid, 1648 - 1694). "Vase". Oil on canvas. With label on the back of the Junta de Incautación y Protección del Patrimonio Artístico. Provenance: Former collection of Don José Lázaro Galdiano. Measurements: 57 x 43 cm; 74 x 60 cm (frame). Gabriel de la Corte's authorship of this work is evident, firstly, through typological elements such as the arrangement of the vase in an opulent Baroque vase. It is also evident in the quality of the composition, which is ornate, very freely executed and with a spontaneous and vigorous brushstroke. As usual in De la Corte's paintings, this canvas features a large composition with a floral motif that covers practically the entire surface. Against a dark background that enhances and brightens the composition, various species of flowers such as tulips, dahlias, daffodils, roses and bluebells, among others, are joined together. The stems and leaves are twisted into arabesque shapes. The artist painted this still life with great detail in his drawing, applying a multicoloured palette with more impastoed brushstrokes in some of the flowers to enhance them, while the less visible ones are barely rendered with a fine glaze. Unlike other genre painters, Gabriel de la Corte's works are characterised by overloaded compositions, freedom of execution and his spontaneous, vigorous brushstrokes laden with paint. His style foreshadowed later developments in the 18th century. A Baroque painter specialising in vases, he was the son of the Madrid painter Lucas de la Corte, although his paternity has been the subject of debate among important scholars such as Antonio Palomino and Cean Bermúdez. De la Corte enjoyed little success during his lifetime, which led him to eke out a meagre living by painting at low prices and even completing the works of other artists by inserting flowers into their works. The present work therefore follows the basic characteristics of Gabriel de la Corte, presenting a pair of paintings of flowers arranged in vases, giving rise to an overloaded composition in which the freedom of execution and the spontaneous and vigorous touch of the brush full of matter prevail. De la Corte's style is influenced by those of Arellano and anticipates the still lifes of flowers that would later be crowded with complicated compositions on elaborate cartouches. Thus we are faced with two mature works by De la Corte, in which the vases are filled with dense and varied bouquets of brightly coloured flowers, executed with dense brushstrokes. With a marked verticality, these are imaginative compositions that prelude the arrival of Rococo, breaking with symmetry and tending towards horror vacui. In them, the flowers still appear full, voluminous, in all their splendour, as would be typical of the Baroque (in the Rococo, on the other hand, the flowers would be preferred half-open, not so full). However, the vases are placed in the strict centre of the painting, contained in elaborate vases, on pedestals finished in rocaille and set against a dark background against which the brightly lit flowers are outlined. However, the arrangement of the flowers has lost the strict rigour and austerity of the naturalist Baroque. From a luminous point of view, De la Corte concentrated the light-coloured flowers in a single point, thus turning the luminous flowers into chromatic highlights that stand out in the composition and attract the viewer's attention. Of particular note is his intuitive technique, based on the execution of wet-painted works, through which the artist seeks - and succeeds - in conveying the impression of a wide range of tonalities. Some important works by De la Corte are housed in the Museo del Prado, among other important institutions.

Still life with grapes, peaches, figs, and carnations
Est: €6,000 - €8,000
Gabriel De La Corte is a fascinating painter of the late seventeenth century of whom little or nothing is known. The few contemporary sources that mention his life tell us that he was the son of the Spanish painter Francisco de la Corte, who was, in turn, the brother of Juan de la Corte, one of the few known pupils of Velazquez. According to the sources, Gabriel had no mentor, despite being a child of art, as his father died when he was only twelve years old. This is undoubtedly one of the reasons why we have little information about his activity. He was certainly a painter slightly ‘ahead of his time.’ Unfortunately, the still life genre with flowers and fruit will be very popular with collectors, especially in the eighteenth century. His style is recognisable thanks to the great variety of elements in the scene and his taste for the dark background, which almost swallows up the flowers and fruit in the foreground.

PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF THE ZANESVILLE ART CENTER STILL LIFE OF FLOWERS IN A BASKET measurements note 32 5/8 by 41 1/4 in.; 82.8 by 104.8 cm. oil on canvas PROVENANCE With Paul Drey Galleries, New York, (as Gaspard Pieter Verbruggen), from whom purchased by the Zanesville Art Center in 1973. EXHIBITED New York, Finch College Museum of Art, Still Life Painters: Pieter Aertsen, 1508-1575 to Georges Braque, February 1965, cat. no. 86, reproduced (as by Verbruggen). NOTE We are grateful to Dr. William B. Jordan for identifying this painting to be a work by de la Corte, on the basis of photographs. Gabriel de la Corte was the last significant native flower painter of the seventeenth century in Madrid. Very little is known about his life; the biographer Antonio Palomino wrote in 1724 that Gabriel was the son of Francisco de la Corte, a painter of large perspective paintings, however it is more likely that the art historian Ceán Bermúdez was correct when he described Gabriel as the son of Juan de la Corte, the well-known painter of battles and mythological subjects. Ceán wrote that Gabriel was orphaned at the age of twelve; he turned to flower painting as a means of supporting himself. Lacking the necessary connections to the wealthier classes that were served by Juan de Arellano and Bartolomé Pérez, he worked for the local Madrid art trade making flower paintings and garlands for sale in galleries (see W.B. Jordan and P. Cherry, Spanish Still Life from Velazquez to Goya, exhibition catalogue, London 1995, pp.142-144).
