Attributed to JOSÉ GUTIÉRREZ DE LA VEGA (Seville, 1791 - Madrid, 1865). "Portrait of a Child. Oil on panel. It has a frame of the nineteenth century. Measurements: 25 x 17 cm; 33 x 24 cm (frame). The vaporous finish of the portrait, added to the chromatic range used by the artist, brings us aesthetically close to the pictorial circle of the painter José Gutiérrez De La Vega. One of the great portraitists of the Romantic period, and a fervent follower of Murillo, José Gutiérrez de la Vega trained between 1802 and 1807 at the Academy of Fine Arts of Santa Isabel de Hungría, in Seville. He began to paint portraits in 1816, being in his first works already evident the vaporous tones and flesh tones typically Murillo, as some commentator says, begin to give him a reputation. Between 1818 and 1820 he stopped attending the Academy and dedicated himself to making copies of Murillo, daring with the most complicated canvases of the master, from whose sale he lived. However, he re-enrolled in 1821, perhaps thinking of devoting himself to teaching. Indeed, in 1925 he was appointed assistant painter. However, a few years later, in 1831, he decided to go to Madrid to try his luck at court. He was an academician of merit of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, although he never achieved the position of chamber painter, since it was only possible to access it when there were vacancies. After the creation of the Liceo Artístico y Literario de Madrid, Gutiérrez de la Vega became one of its most active members. He was also appointed director of the School of Fine Arts in Seville, a position he held from 1839 to 1847 when, due to his prolonged stays in Madrid, he had to leave. Later he was appointed professor of the elementary studies attached to the Royal Academy of San Fernando. Gutiérrez de la Vega lived mainly from portraiture, painting the effigies of prominent figures such as Isabel II (as an adult and as a child), the Marquis of Almonacid, the English traveler Richard Ford or Maria Cristina, widow of Ferdinand VII. However, his passion for Murillo's work led him to focus also on religious painting, a production in which his Inmaculadas stand out. Apart from portraiture and religious themes, this artist occasionally cultivated genre painting. Gutiérrez de la Vega is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the Royal Academy of San Fernando, the Ministries of Development and Industry in Madrid, the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts in Malaga and the Romantic Museum in Madrid, among others.

JOSÉ GUTIÉRREZ DE LA VEGA (Seville, 1791 - Madrid, 1865). "Dance". Oil on canvas. It has a mid-19th century frame. Signed on the back. Measures: 39 x 45.5 cm; 56 x 66 cm (frame). The presence of the Giralda and the Torre del Oro indicate that this is a scene set in Seville. The artist, who follows the popular thematic trends of the time, shows a group of young people enjoying music in a relaxed manner. A young woman in the centre of the scene holds a guitar while looking at a man dressed as a bullfighter who watches her with rapt attention, in such a way that the scene combines the taste for paintings of manners and gallantry, these being two of the most highly valued trends by 19th-century collectors. The powdered treatment of the paint, which gives the landscape a completely vaporous finish, the manner in which the figures are depicted and the Giralda, which is highly reminiscent of the one in the painting of the Duchess of Frías dressed as Manola, painted by Gutiérrez de la Vega around 1835 and belonging to the Museo del Prado collection in Madrid, bring us very close to the Sevillian artist's work. José Gutiérrez de la Vega, one of the great portraitists of the Romantic period and a fervent follower of Murillo, trained between 1802 and 1807 at the Academy of Fine Arts of Santa Isabel de Hungría in Seville. He began to paint portraits in 1816, and in his early works his typically Murilloesque vividness of tone and flesh tones, which, as some commentators have said, began to give him a reputation.

JOSÉ GUTIÉRREZ DE LA VEGA (Sevilla, 1791 – Madrid, 1865). “San Jerónimo penitente”. Óleo sobre lienzo. Medidas: 101 x 80 cm; 121 x 99 cm (marco).
Est: €5,000 - €6,000
JOSÉ GUTIÉRREZ DE LA VEGA (Seville, 1791 - Madrid, 1865). "Penitent Saint Jerome". Oil on canvas. Size: 101 x 80 cm; 121 x 99 cm (frame). We see this work of clear and concise composition, with the saint of half body in the foreground, highlighted by the direct illumination, on a neutral background of dark and ochre tone. As was also common at this time in the Spanish school, Saint Jerome is depicted during his period of penance in the desert, physically exhausted, writing and meditating next to a human skull, making the symbolism of the transience of the material more present. The author focuses his attention on the anatomy of the saint, far removed from any idealisation; it is an elderly body with a suffering face, endowed with great expressiveness, looking lost and absent into the distance as he writes his writings. One of the great portraitists of the Romantic period and a fervent follower of Murillo, José Gutiérrez de la Vega trained at the Academy of Fine Arts of Santa Isabel de Hungría in Seville between 1802 and 1807.

JOSÉ GUTIÉRREZ DE LA VEGA (Seville, 1791 - Madrid, 1865) "Saint Felix de Cantalicio with the Virgin and Child, 1861. Oil on canvas. It has restorations on the pictorial surface. It has a period frame. Signed and dated in the lower right area. Measurements: 160 x 106 cm; 166 x 123 cm (frame). This work follows the painting by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo which is in the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville. Murillo's piece achieved great relevance largely due to the play of light, since in addition to the directionality of a typically Baroque diagonal spotlight, he added a second spotlight, thus adding greater clarity and therefore warmth to the work. José Gutiérrez de la Vega masterfully reproduced this resource in this painting. One of the great portraitists of the Romantic period and a fervent follower of Murillo, José Gutiérrez de la Vega trained at the Academy of Fine Arts of Santa Isabel de Hungría in Seville between 1802 and 1807.

JOSÉ GUTIÉRREZ DE LA VEGA (Seville, 1791 - Madrid, 1865). "Portrait of Don Félix José de Reinoso. 1834. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated on the back, 1834. Size: 85 x 106 cm; 113 x 93 cm (frame). One of the great portraitists of the Romantic period, and a fervent follower of Murillo, José Gutiérrez de la Vega trained between 1802 and 1807 at the Academy of Fine Arts of Santa Isabel de Hungría, in Seville. He began to paint portraits in 1816, and in his early works his typically Murilloesque vividness of tone and flesh tones, which, as some commentators have said, began to give him a reputation. Between 1818 and 1820 he stopped attending the Academy and devoted himself to making copies of Murillo, taking on the most complicated canvases by the master, on the sale of which he lived. However, he re-enrolled in 1821, perhaps thinking of becoming a teacher. Indeed, in 1925 he was appointed assistant painter. However, a few years later, in 1831, he decided to go to Madrid to try his luck at court. He was an academician of merit at the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts, although he never achieved the post of chamber painter, as it was only available when there were vacancies. Following the establishment of the Liceo Artístico y Literario de Madrid, Gutiérrez de la Vega became one of its most active members. He was also appointed director of the Seville School of Fine Arts, a post he held from 1839 until 1847 when, owing to his lengthy stays in Madrid, he had to leave. He was subsequently appointed professor of the elementary studies attached to the San Fernando Royal Academy. Gutiérrez de la Vega made his living mainly from portraiture, painting the effigies of prominent figures such as Isabella II (as an adult and as a child), the Marquis of Almonacid, the English traveller Richard Ford and Maria Cristina, the widow of Ferdinand VII. However, his passion for Murillo's work also led him to focus on religious painting, an oeuvre in which his Immaculate Conception is particularly noteworthy. Apart from portraiture and religious themes, the artist occasionally produced genre paintings. Gutiérrez de la Vega is currently represented in the Museo del Prado, the Real Academia de San Fernando, the Ministries of Public Works and Industry in Madrid, the Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes in Malaga and the Museo Romántico in Madrid, among others.
