Table top. Marble. Following ancient models. Circular table top made of marble with applications of marbles of other colours that presents a geometric design similar to a compass rose, with an eight-pointed star serving as a frame for a smaller one. The technique is very similar to inlay, but uses marbles and hard stones (more than 7 on the Mohs scale) to make these designs. Desks, boards and other objects were made with “hard stone work”. Usually, lapis lazuli was used together with Belgian marble as a background, accompanied by jade, chalcedony, etc. The price of the material and that of the specialized labor raised the cost of this type of works of art so much that its recipients were only the main houses and courts of the time, which is why today they are only preserved in prominent private collections and important museums.

Monk's armchair. Leather, walnut wood. Spain, 16th century. It has faults. Armchair with arms and high backrest of the type known as “friar's chair”, which has leather with studs on the upper part of the backrest (lack of the seat), low, low-profile trimmed jambs joining the front and back legs and middle jambs or side rails (the front one carved and re-cut to create geometric motifs) joining the two front and two back legs, and simple armrests, with raised scroll finishes. The friar's chair, originally of Italian origin, became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture since its introduction in the 16th century, being characteristic of both the 17th and 18th centuries and being recovered again in the historicist movement of the 19th century. Being such a deep-rooted tradition in Spain, this type of model was never stopped being created.

Fireplace plate with Picador. Cast iron. Spain, early 20th century. Cast iron fireplace backsplash with a rectangular shape and decorated with reliefs on the front. The upper part features a composition of leaves flanking a plain shield, and is extended along the sides and bottom by a series of lines and more leaves with a classicist influence in the corners. The front shows a figurative bullfighting scene, with a picador (or garrochista or varilarguero) spearing a bull, which charges the horse that the rider is riding. This type of piece was already used in the Gothic period, and outstanding examples have been preserved, such as the one on the Imperial coat of arms of Charles V (dated to the 16th century; Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid), for example. Although some experts consider the heraldry to be the most unusual decoration on these objects, we have also seen pieces with mythological or pastoral scenes, architectural elements, religious motifs, etc. In addition to presenting an interesting decoration due to its historical value in the study of bullfighting, it is worth highlighting the quality and depth of the reliefs it displays.

Altar front or antipendium, shield of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. Plaster or stucco. 19th-20th centuries. Altar frontal made of plaster or stucco, with a finish resembling stone, except for the central piece. This rectangular strip has a gold finish and a fine relief with leaves clearly reminiscent of Gothic, leaving a square in the centre with lobes on the inside and plant details on the outside; this square houses a polychrome shield. The coat of arms used by the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Redemptorists) is a derivation of its seal, defined in its statutes of 1764. On a blue background, there are three mountains, with the cross flanked by a lance and a sponge on a stick and the abbreviated names of Jesus (IS intertwined) and Mary (AM intertwined); above the Latin cross, an eye with luminous rays; above all these elements, an open crown. This Congregation was founded in 1732 by Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori in Scala (Italy), and approved by the Vatican in 1749. In Madrid, the construction of the Parish Sanctuary of Perpetual Help in neo-Gothic style by the architect and Redemptorist brother Gusttave Knockaert was of great importance (thus, the Neo-Gothic being the most common style in the Congregation during the second half of the 19th century, above all).

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.
