      Est: €20,000 - €25,000

      MATEO GALLARDO (Madrid?, ca. 1600 - Madrid, 1667) "Jael and Sisara". Oil on canvas. Re-drawn. It presents slight faults on the pictorial surface. Signed in the lower right area. Provenance: Collection Fórum Filatélico, Madrid and Private Collection of Madrid. Measurements: 145 x 163 cm; 156 x 172 cm (frame). Bibliography - Angulo Íñiguez, Diego, and Pérez Sánchez, Alfonso E., Historia de la pintura española. Escuela madrileña del segundo tercio del siglo XVII, Madrid, Instituto Diego Velázquez, csic, 1983, p. 67. - Mónica Walker Vadillo, Jael y Sísara, Digital database of Medieval Iconography, Universidad Complutense de Madrid. With two works in the collection of the Prado Museum, this painting of excellent quality presents the biblical moment in which Jael, the wife of Barak the Kenite, invites Sisera (Jabin's general) to rest in her tent after the battle between the Israelites and the subjects of King Jabin of Canaan. When he falls asleep, Jael drives a stake through his temple; fulfilling the words of the prophetess Deborah, who foretold that General Sisera would die by the hand of a woman and not by the sword of Barak. This Old Testament passage is considered by medieval exegetes to be a prefiguration of the Virgin defeating the devil. Other painters were interested in this theme, such as Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1656) and Jacopo Vignali (1592-1664). Compositionally, we see General Sisera on the ground, dead, while Jael picks up his tunic under the attentive gaze of her husband. The clothing of the various figures is richly coloured. The spotlight on the left-hand side of the painting depicts different tones on the skin of the sitters. These flesh tones are very restrained, and without being monumental, they are worked in great detail. On the far left, a window opens onto a landscape that adds depth to the scene. The thick folds of the costumes are meticulously treated, lending solemnity to a narrative scene with a profound emotional sense. Mateo Gallardo was a Spanish Baroque painter based in Madrid. Of his works, only one signed and dated canvas survives: The Martyrdom of Saint Catherine (1653, Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias). His painting is characterised by vivid colouring and the rounded forms of a very elaborate drawing. He is therefore considered to be a painter of the late Mannerist aesthetic. Among his best-known works is the main altarpiece of Plasencia Cathedral.

      MATEO GALLARDO - Jael and Sisera

      Est: -

      MATEO GALLARDO Madrid c. 1600- 1667 Jael and Sisera. c. 1575 Oil on canvas Inscribed: "IAHEL". Measures 145.7 x 162.5 cm Origin: - Philatelic Forum Collection, Madrid. - Private collection, Madrid. Mateo Gallardo was a Spanish Baroque painter based in Madrid. Of his works, only a signed and dated canvas remains; the Martyrdom of Santa Catalina, (1653, Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias). His painting is characterized by the vivid colors and the emphatic forms of a very elaborate drawing. That is why he is considered a retarded painter for his time who remained under the aesthetic of late Mannerism. Among his best-known works, the main altarpiece of the Cathedral of Plasencia stands out. With two works forming part of the Museo del Prado collection, this excellent quality painting presents the biblical moment in which Jael, the wife of Barac's supper, invites Sisera (Jabin's general) to rest in his tent after the battle between the Israelites and the subjects of King Jabin of Canaan. As he falls asleep, Jael drives a stake through his temple; fulfilling the words of the prophetess Deborah, who predicted that General Sisera would die at the hands of a woman and not under the sword of Barac. This passage from the Old Testament is considered by medieval exegetes as a prefiguration of the Virgin defeating the devil. Other painters were interested in this theme, such as Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1656), or Jacopo Vignali (1592-1664). Compositionally we see the general Sisera on the ground, dead, while Jael picks up the tunic of the deceased before the watchful eye of her husband. The clothing of the different characters is of great chromatic richness. The light source located on the left side draws different tones on the skin of those portrayed. These carnations are very temperate, because without being monumental, they are worked in great detail. On the far left, a window opens onto a landscape that infers depth to the scene. The thick folds of the wardrobe are meticulously treated, bringing solemnity to a narrative scene with a deep emotional meaning. Bibliography: - Diego Ángulo Íñiguez and Alfonso E.
