ANTONIO PONCE (Valladolid, h. 1608-h. 1667) "Still life". Oil on canvas. Relined.
Est: €25,000 - €30,000
ANTONIO PONCE (Valladolid, h. 1608-h. 1667) "Still life". Oil on canvas. Relined. Measurements: 56 x 99 cm; 66 x 110 cm (frame). Formally in this work highlights the delicate treatment of the different qualities and textures: the pot, the leaves of the branches of fruit, etc, qualities that are enhanced with the use of a completely dark background that supports greater three-dimensionality to food that make up this still life. work shows some tenebrist influence and lighting highlights the volumes in contrast to the shadows. The reduced palette favors earth tones enlivened with touches of reds, whites and yellows. Some of these characteristics recall the work of Loarte or the late period of Van der Hamen: an accumulation of objects that conveys a kind of confused disorganization, somewhat lighter backgrounds, fine tactile qualities, and the play of diagonals suggest a new consideration of the inert. A new consideration of the inert aspects of still life on the threshold of the growing dynamism of the Baroque. His technical mastery is undeniable, with a succession of flat brushstrokes intermittently interrupted by further touches that convey the reflection of the light entering from the left. As often with this artist, there is a curious way of delimiting the outlines of certain elements with thicker and more insistent strokes that underline their reality with greater vigor. In 1624, Antonio Ponce entered as an apprentice in the workshop of Juan Van der Hamen, the most famous still life painter of the time. The influence of his master is revealed in his first paintings, with an arrangement on stone entablatures sometimes superimposed and the strong chiaroscuro lighting of Caravaggesque origin. As a still life painter he tackled a wide variety of subjects and formats, fruits and vegetables, as well as game and flowers, series of months and small cabinet paintings. From 1637 to 1638, Ponce worked in the Buen Retiro Palace (Madrid), built by King Philip IV. In July and August of 1649, he collaborated with a group of artists in the ephemeral decoration of the steps of the square and the stairs of the church of San Felipe el Real, as part of the celebrations of the entrance of Mariana of Austria. In the 1640s, he adopted lighter and brighter backgrounds that were tinged by soft hallmarks and a chromatic scale tending to gray.

ANTONIO PONCE - Bodegón con dulces, fruta, vasijas y cofre de ébano
Est: -
ANTONIO PONCE Valladolid c. 1608 - Madrid c. 1677 Bodegón con dulces, fruta, vasijas y cofre de ébano Óleo sobre lienzo Medidas 61 x 82,5 cm Esta obra inédita de Antonio Ponce recuerda a una tipología de bodegón que también trabajaron otros reputados pintores españoles de la época como Antonio Pereda y Tomás Hiepes. Aunque nacido en Valladolid, Ponce se traslada muy pronto con su familia a la Villa y Corte donde entra en el taller de Juan van der Hamen, el artista de bodegones más célebre del momento. Una vez concluído su etapa de aprendizaje se casa en 1628 con Francisca de Alfaro, sobrina de su maestro. Ponce debió producir en este período copias y variantes de modelos de Van der Hamen dada la popularidad de sus bodegones. Encima del cofre de ébano, Ponce muestra un conjunto de cerámicas y cristalerías que se empleaban en el siglo XVII. Sobresalen los dos búcaros rojos de Tonalá (México) situados entre una fina copa de cristal transparente. Estos “barros” procedentes de Nueva España proporcionaban agradables aromas sobre el agua fresca y su porosidad mantenía el enfriamiento del agua que contenía. En un primer plano, de derecha a izquierda, se sitúan una pera, un tarro de confitura o miel y una vistosa fuente de cerámica con bizcochos sobre la que reposa una delicada jarra de vidrio llena de agua. El mueble provisto de varios cajones para guardar documentos es fiel reflejo del mobiliario característico de una familia acomodada madrileña. Sus primeras creaciones presentan los objetos de forma simétrica con un equilibrado juego de volúmenes en el que los objetos se presentan frente al espectador con los contornos bien definidos, otorgando gran importancia a la consecución de las calidades. La iluminación tenebrista y contrastada juega un papel importante resaltando los objetos sobre un fondo oscuro. Aunque sus obras están íntimamente relacionadas con las de Juan van der Hamen se aprecia un modo seco de ejecutar las formas, sin sensación táctil con las características durezas de sus composiciones tempranas.

ANTONIO PONCE (Valladolid, h. 1608-h. 1667) "Still life". Oil on canvas. Re-drawn. Presents signature and date partially legible.
Est: €300,000 - €350,000
ANTONIO PONCE (Valladolid, ca. 1608-h. 1667) "Still life". Oil on canvas. Re-coloured. Presents a signature and a partially legible date. Provenance: Catalogued on 14 January 1668 in the collection of Ana de Criales, born in Madrid in 1631 and married to Don Gaspar de la Herrán y Ezcaray, who was a municipal alderman of Madrid. Measurements: 93.5 x 120 cm; 119 x 145 cm (frame). Bibliography: - Cherry, Peter, Archivo Histórico de Protocolos, Madrid, Spain. - Calylus, Antonio Ponce "Four still lifes". Pages 9-12 (illustrated in colour on pages 10 and 11). This work belonged to a series of four. It is the first one described in Ana de Criale's inventory of 1668 "Inventory: Four fruit bowls a metre and a quarter long and one more or less wide by the hand of Antonio Cast (sic). One with a hare and ducks and a fruit bowl. Another with a jar with nine assorted sweets and a glass jar. Another with a vase with various flowers, artichokes and a bowl of cherries. Another with two baskets of grapes and various fruits and some birds, valued at twenty ducats each". We could try to think that this was a grouping of the four seasons, as van der Hamen did, and that our painting would then represent autumn: the small game hunting season in Madrid. Here we see a curious combination of game animals, arranged on a long stone surface with an irregular and unconventional stone surface with an irregular and unconventional stone surface with an irregular and unconventional edge. And on the left, the everyday harshness of the scene is softened by fruit. The deliberate disorder generated by the stacked elements suggests that they were placed randomly due to lack of space, but their overall presentation remains frontal and no space is visible, but their overall presentation remains frontal and parallel to the main axis of the work. With its tenebrist resonances, the lighting highlights the volumes in contrast to the shadows. The reduced palette favours earth tones enlivened with touches of reds, whites and yellows. Some of these characteristics recall the work of Loarte or the late period of Van der Hamen: an accumulation of objects conveying a kind of confused disorganisation, somewhat lighter backgrounds, fine tactile qualities, and the play of diagonals suggest a new consideration of the inert.

Est: €30,000 - €40,000
Attributed to Antonio Ponce (Valladolid, c. 1608 - Madrid, c. 1677) "The month of February. Still life of fish" Oil on canvas. Relined. 102 x 160,5 cm. With a carved, gilded and polychromed period wooden frame. Signed on the back by the restorer: "Manuel Fuentes restauró en 1918". It is very probable that this is one of the previously unknown still life paintings from the series of the months of the year by the painter Antonio Ponce, the one representing the month of February. It has identical measurements, 102 x 160,5 cm. to the other known still life paintings of the months of the year, April, May, June, August, September, November and December, which can be found in private collections and public institutions. This painting is from his first phase, in which he worked on the series of large still life paintings dedicated to depicting the months of the year in the workshop of his Master, the painter Juan Van der Hamen y León, from 1624. Ponce also worked with Francisco Barrera, who also painted a series of months of the year of which only two remain – the month of May in the Slovenská Národní Galeriey in Bratislava and the month of July exhibited in the Strodoceska Gallery in Prague. Barrera’s influence, which he already used in his months of the year, is the use of different heights to show the elements of the picture, placed on different plinths, which we can see in this still life. Elements that were already characteristic of Ponce are his treatment of light and colour which affect one fish or another in different ways, giving the composition great realism.
