Item Overview

Description

Triptychon Virgen de la Humildad, um 1470 Der kleine spätgotische Reise-Altar besteht aus insgesamt drei Tafeln. Das Bildprogramm wird von vergoldetem, geschnitztem, mehrpassigem Maßwerk mit Blütenzwickeln umrahmt. Auf der Mitteltafel in diskreter Farbigkeit die Madonna der Demut mit Jesusknaben vor goldgrundiertem Fenster auf Kissen sitzend. Kleine Farbakzente setzen die rote Bordüre des Jesuskleides mit der Inschrift und der Schachbrettboden mit der für Gallego typischen kleinen Stufe im Vordergrund. An mehreren Stellen die Vorzeichnung durchscheinend. Unten links das Familienwappen wohl von den in Kastilien sehr mächtigen Velasco oder Quiñones, als Auftraggeber. Ein weiteres Wappenschild in Umrissen unten rechts unter der Malschicht. Auf den Flügeln in Halbgrisaille vor schattiertem Goldhintergrund vier Heilige: links oben Andreas -wohl Schutzpatron der Auftraggeber-, unten Eustachius in zeitgenössischer Kleidung (daher die Datierung von Dr. Silva Maroto) kniend in felsiger Landschaft, rechts oben Johannes der Täufer und unten Katharina. Öl auf Nadel(?)-Holztafeln. Originale geschmiedete Ösen-Scharniere. Schwarz lackierter Rahmen und vergoldetes Maßwerk. Geöffnet ca. 67×91 cm. Provenienz geprüft durch: The Art Loss Register. {Beigegeben Zustandsbericht der Restauratorin D. Beckmann, Berlin.} Wir danken Pilar Silva Maroto für die Bestätigung und den Aufsatz „A new triptych by Fernando Gallego” in: Ars Magazine Nr. 47, Juli-Sept. 2020 S. 66-75. Vgl. auch: P. Silva Maroto. Werkverzeichnis Fernando Gallego. Caja Duero, Salamanca 2004.

Über Fernando Gallegos Leben ist wenig bekannt. Aus seiner Tätigkeit in Salamanca und Umgebung sind uns nur drei von ihm signierte Werke erhalten (1. Pietà mit Auftraggeber, Museo del Prado, 2. Triptychon Madonna mit der Rose, Museo Catedralicio de Salamanca, 3. Retabel von Hl. Ildefonso, Catedral de Zamora), welche diverse Gemeinsamkeiten mit diesem Triptychon aufweisen, z. B. die Darstellung eines besonderen Menschentypus mit großflächigen, runden Gesichtern, mandelförmigen, großen Augen, sowie die Ausführung der Haare, der transluzenten Perlenkette und der Gewänder mit dem scharfkantigen Faltenwurf. Diesen lebensechten Naturalismus kannte Gallego wohl aus flämischen Vorbildern, welche die Königreiche Kastilien und Aragon durch die zahlreichen Handelskontakte mit dem Norden erreichten. (59111)

Conditions of Sale

Valid ist the german version. All translations are for information only.
[Parts in square brackets are added as explanations.]

1. Participating in the auction is voluntary. Sale takes place in the name of our clients - with exception of goods owned by the auction house. These are not marked with client-numbers in brackets. The owner or client is indicated and identified with numbers in brackets.
--
2. Prices, including bidding and invoices are given in Euro.
--
3. The auctioneer has the right to auction numbers out of order of the catalog and to unite, separate or withdraw numbers.
--
4. The contract will be awarded, if there is no higher bid after three calls for a bid. The auctioneer may, in the name of the client, reserve or refuse the award if a special reason exists. If several persons submit the same bid at the same time and no higher bid is made after three calls, the lot decides on the award. The auctioneer is authorized to withdraw the award and resubmit the matter, if a higher bid has been missed in due time and this has been immediately objected to by the bidder or if there is any doubt as to the award.
--
5. A contract of sale is concluded with the award and the buyer is obliged to accept the purchase. The property is only transferred to the buyer upon payment of the purchase price, the risk of any damage already with the award of the sale.
--
6. The purchase price is due with awarding the lot and consists of the hammer-price and a 20% surcharge to the auctioneer, plus 19% VAT on the buyer's premium. The VAT is charged only on the premium and thus on domestic service; It is not refundable for foreign bidders. [If the bidder is using a bidding platform, which charges fees for the buyer, these can be collected by Leo Spik KG.]
--
7. If payment is delayed, an interest rate is charged. The amount is based on the money market and is identical to the interest rates charged by the banks in the case of disposition loans.
In the event of payment in foreign currency, any exchange loss or fees have to be covered by thw buyer.. The same applies to checks which can only be accepted as fulfillment after unconditional cashing by our bank. [Therefore fees for bidding via online platforms are to be covered by the buyer.]
Even without a reminder, the buyer is liable for reimbursement of any resulting cost in case of late payment or the refusal to accept a purchased.
The auctioneer can choose to demand the fulfillment of the purchase or compensation for non-performance and can, independently of his choice, resell the goods at the expense of the buyer. In this case the rights of the buyer from the previous contract are forfeited, but he is liable for any loss; he has no claim to a surplus and is not admitted to another bid.
--
8. Payment of goods and all additional fees and cost may be collected by the auctioneer for the clients, and he may also file complaints or law suits against the buyer in the name of the clients.
--

All items entering the auction may be inspected and inspected before the auction and during the bidding. They are auctioned in the condition in which they are at this time. The things are used.
The auctioneer accepts no liability for open and hidden defects as well as attributions, however, he is obliged to forward complaints to his clients, if these complaints are uttered whithout delay and are reasonable. This won´t apply if it is not possible for him to actually reach the consignor. Later or subsequent complaints, whatever their nature, must be disregarded.
10.The purchasers are obliged to receive or fetch their auctioned items immediately after the auction. The auctioneer shall not be liable for any damage or loss of the items. Any storage or transport shall be at the risk and expense of the Purchaser.
--
11. By placing a bid or issuing a written order, the buyer acknowledges the above conditions. They also apply analogous to the later purchase of goods after the auction (aka "free handed sale"). Should one of the provisions of these terms and conditions be or become invalid in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
--
12.Buyers and sellers may, after completion of the auction, learn from the auctioneer the address of the other contracting party.
--
