    • Circle of ALEJANDRO DE LOARTE (1598/1599 - Toledo, 1626), XVII century. "Still life of birds and fish". Oil on canvas.
      Nov. 25, 2024

      Circle of ALEJANDRO DE LOARTE (1598/1599 - Toledo, 1626), XVII century. "Still life of birds and fish". Oil on canvas.

      Est: €6,000 - €7,000

      Circle of ALEJANDRO DE LOARTE (1598/1599 - Toledo, 1626), XVII century. "Still life of birds and fish". Oil on canvas. Measurements: 44 x 60 cm; 56 x 72 cm (frame). Still life of Baroque style and period composed of birds overflowing from a wicker basket and several fishes gasping on the table. They have been worked in detail and with great attention to quality. With a relatively simple structure, however, a dynamic composition unfolds thanks to the twisting of the bodies. The dynamism is enhanced by the use of bright, metallic colors on the scaled bodies and plumage. These are colors that in turn cause a great contrast with the rest of the tenebrist tonality of the canvas. The light treatment of this work reflects the painter's interest in an incipient chiaroscuro, an example of the international mannerism of the beginning of the century in which Alejandro De Loarte was trained, an author in whose area of influence this painting can be placed. There is little biographical information available on Alejandro de Loarte and most of the dates of his life are approximations. We do know that his father, a painter named Jerónimo de Loarte, was probably his first teacher and survived him. At his death, he was in charge of a prestigious studio in Madrid and, shortly before his death in Toledo, he named the artist Pedro Orrente as his executor. His religious paintings varied in quality; some were even copies. His style is closely related to that of Luis Tristán, and Orrente's influence is evident. A large canvas of "St. Bernard with his monks", in the convent of the Basilica of San Francisco el Grande, once believed to be the work of Francisco Pacheco, has been reattributed to him. Still lifes make up the bulk of his work and he seems to have developed his style from the works of Juan Sánchez Cotán, but with a lighter touch that seems to follow Venetian examples. Many of them also contain human figures; in the style of Bartolomeo Passerotti. His composition is very symmetrical and somewhat crowded.

      ALEJANDRO DE LOARTE (1598/1599 - Toledo, 1626). "Still life of meat". Oil on canvas. Relined. It presents Repainting and restorations in the pictorial surface.

      Est: €6,000 - €8,000

      ALEJANDRO DE LOARTE (1598/1599 - Toledo, 1626). "Still life of meat". Oil on canvas. Relined. It presents Repainting and restorations in the pictorial surface. Measurements: 76 x 111 cm; 92 x 127 cm (frame). Baroque still life composed by animals and vegetables. Magnificently worked elements, with detail and attention to the qualities. The elements that make up the still life are placed on two levels, in a typically baroque zigzag composition, dynamic despite the relatively simple structure of the space. The dynamism is enhanced by the use of bright, metallic colors, such as the green of the lettuce or the redness of the meat. These colors, in turn, cause a great contrast with the rest of the tenebrist tonality of the canvas. The light treatment of this work reflects the painter's interest in an incipient chiaroscuro, an example of the international mannerism of the beginning of the century, in which the author must have been trained. There is very little biographical information available and most of the dates of his life are approximations.

      ALEJANDRO DE LOARTE (1598/1599 - Toledo, 1626). "Saint John Baptist". Oil on canvas. Relined. It has flaws on the pictorial surface. Signed in the lower corner.

      Est: €4,200 - €4,500

      ALEJANDRO DE LOARTE (1598/1599 - Toledo, 1626). "Saint John the Baptist. Oil on canvas. Re-drawn. It presents faults in the pictorial surface. Signed in the lower corner. Size: 172 x 111 cm; 184 x 119 cm (frame). This work has many similarities with the painting that Alejandro de Loarte made of Saint John the Baptist, which belongs to the collection of the Prado Museum in Madrid, although it is not currently on display. As in the museum painting, we see in this work "the elongated figure, strongly illuminated in places, which reflects the painter's interest in an incipient chiaroscuro, is an example of the international mannerism of the beginning of the century, in which the artist must have trained, and has similarities with the models of El Greco". Very little biographical information is available and most of the dates of his life are approximate. We do know that his father, a painter called Jerónimo de Loarte, was probably his first teacher and survived him. At his death he was in charge of a prestigious studio in Madrid and, shortly before his death in Toledo, he appointed the artist Pedro Orrente as his executor. His religious paintings varied in quality; some were even copies. His style is closely related to that of Luis Tristán, and Orrente's influence is evident. A large canvas of "Saint Bernard with his monks" in the convent of the Basilica of San Francisco el Grande, once thought to be by Francisco Pacheco, has been re-attributed to him. Still lifes make up the bulk of his oeuvre and he seems to have developed his style from the works of Juan Sánchez Cotán, but with a lighter touch that seems to follow Venetian examples.
