Bad job. Watercolor. Signed in the lower left corner. José de San Bartolomé was a Spanish painter and sculptor who worked in the studio of the photographer Herbert from childhood and began his training at the School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid, continuing his studies at the Higher School of Painting at the Academy of San Fernando, while copying works by the masters of the Prado. In 1886 he settled in Paris, devoting himself mainly to genre painting in the wake of Fortuny, a theme that enjoyed great commercial success. He met Francisco Domingo, who opened the doors to the Buenos Aires market for him, where he received important commissions for painting and sculpture. He was Secretary of the Society of Artists of Paris, in 1894 he was named a knight of the Order of Charles III, in 1901 of the Legion of Honour and, in 1902, a commander of the Order of Isabel la Católica. At the beginning of the century he returned to Spain, and devoted himself mainly to portraiture, although he also painted landscapes and popular subjects. He enjoyed the protection of royalty, as evidenced by the portraits he painted of Queen Maria Cristina and various figures of the court. In 1925, the Paris Salon paid him a posthumous tribute with an exhibition of his work held in France. Works by Llaneces are preserved in the Prado Museum, the Pablo Sarasate Museum in Pamplona and in the Spanish embassy in Paris.

Trunk. Wood, leather, iron. Spanish School, around 1700. Wooden trunk with a curved lid and rectangular shape, covered with leather on the outside, with fittings, handles, studs and two closures at the front, which has a front and top opening. Inside it has a lower space accessible from the front divided in two by a vertical piece of wood; the lid and part of the chest have a textile covering. The back does not have leather. The nails with circular heads are arranged in geometric shapes. The handles have disc decorations. The fittings, also worked, follow models based on architectural designs, motifs also present in the lock shields on the front. Some of the metal elements still have traces of gilding. These types of trunks were known as “travel trunks” because they were normally used to store objects on journeys, hence the leather covering and the apparent lack of decoration on the outside. Having two locks was for greater security, since the two keys had to be used together to open it and these were usually entrusted to two different people. Compare this with the 17th century travel trunk from the Viceroyalty of Peru in the Museum of America (Madrid), which has decoration with animals and plant motifs (embossed leather). Or with the Chest of the Mayorazgo de la Cerda (17th century) in the National Museum of Decorative Arts (Madrid).

Framed miniature; “Holy Family”. Wood, paint. 18th century; later framing. The oval frame of carved and gilded wood has smooth mouldings and an openwork top with scrolls and simplified plant details. On one side, a three-quarter view of Saint Joseph is shown, wearing a tunic and habit, holding the flowering staff and carrying the naked, reclining Baby Jesus in his arms. On the other side, also in three-quarter view, a miniature of the image of Our Lady of Solitude of La Victoria in Madrid can be seen (or of a Solitude inspired by this, which was the first image of this devotion in Spain). Stylistically, both images are strongly influenced by models and iconographies of the Spanish Baroque, as was common in 18th-century Spanish religious art (compare, for example, with “Saint Joseph with Baby Jesus” by Murillo, kept in the Auckland Art Gallery, or with the work on the same subject by Alonso del Arco, now in the Museum of Navarre). The main image of the devotion to Our Lady of Solitude was the sculpture by Gaspar de Becerra (which was in the Convent of Our Lady of Victory in Madrid and later in the Collegiate Church of San Isidro, where it was lost), which was used as inspiration for a large number of paintings and sculptures. This type of miniatures decorated with religious images were usually used as elements of personal devotion.
