Collection of engravings by Gustave Doré (1832-1883). “Madrid, Engravings by Gustave Doré”. Special edition directed by Antonio de Horna. Madrid, Culture and Art Collection, De Horna Editores. Compilation of engravings directed by Antonio de Horna made by Gustave Doré, a great draughtsman and engraver known, above all, for his work for an edition of “Don Quixote”, published in London in 1880, which was very well received by the public. Successful in France, he moved to live in England, where he was even more appreciated for his visions of the Victorian costumbrista environment of the mid-nineteenth century. Antonio de Horna, in this same book, accompanies a brief biography of the author with the intention behind this collection: “his true glory… would come to him… when his indisputable genius was recognized, captured in more than ten thousand drawings and engravings.”

Collection of engravings. “Goya’s Bullfighting”. Special edition directed by Antonio de Horna. 1815-1983. Madrid, Culture and Art Collection, De Horna Editores. 39 sheets. Antonio de Horna directed this compilation of the series of engravings of La Tauromaquia by Francisco de Goya (1746-1828), composed of 39 engravings and published for the first time in 1816, together with another eleven prints called “unpublished” because they did not appear in that first edition. He apparently wanted to use it to illustrate passages from “Historical Letter on the Origin and Progress of Bullfights in Spain”, a work by Nicolás Fernández de Moratín from 1777, to which he added personal memories and some famous incidents from the painter’s time.

Classic corbel in marble dust. Under a simple moulding, a scroll with an open centre has been placed, revealing a curved shape in another colour whose lines it follows. This two-colour scheme can be seen in other architectural details of the corbel, such as the oval shield with scrolls in the lower area, or the three drops in the centre. Although the inspiration in elements from Antiquity is clear, these have been used freely, giving rise to a highly original work of art.

Palillero. “Little donkey with two baskets.” On a circular base decorated with classically inspired eggs stands the naturalistic figure of the donkey, with two baskets on its back, which serve to hold the chopsticks. The combination of elements taken from Neoclassicism with details more characteristic of the Avant-garde (Realism, naturalism, a certain pictorial treatment of the animal, etc.) is striking.

Two-leaf door with frame, latch and wrought iron fittings. Soria pine wood and walnut panels, wrought iron. 18th century. A two-leaf door with a simple frame decorated with carved walnut panels, contrasting in tone with the frame and highlighting the composition of a large rectangle interspersed with two small squares placed side by side. The frame is simple, as is often the case with this type of piece, and also features a latch and wrought iron fittings. It is not common to preserve these construction elements, given their purely utilitarian purpose and their replacement by more modern ones as soon as tastes change or when the old ones deteriorate.

Short barrel. Iron. 19th-20th century. A short iron cannon with two pieces on the sides for better attachment to the support and a series of rings along its outer surface. Due to its size and these decorative elements, it is reminiscent of ancient artillery such as bombards. These types of pieces were made in the 19th and 20th centuries, inspired by antique examples, primarily for decorative purposes and usually intended for interiors decorated in the Neo-Medieval style, very fashionable in Spain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Medieval cannons, enormous firearms for firing a heavy projectile over great distances, are the archetype of modern artillery. Possibly the first to be used in Europe appeared in Muslim and Christian Spain. The bombard, currently considered the oldest known portable firearm in the West, was a precursor to the cannon.
