About the Item

"Abraham repudiating Hagar". Framed miniature. Ater VAN RIJN, Rembrandt (Leinden, 1606-Amsterdam, 1669), 18th century. It shows a story of Genesis. The story tells that Sara accepted that Abraham obtained offspring thanks to an Egyptian slave, Agar, a union from which Ishmael was born. However, when Sarah had Isaac through a miracle, she convinced Abraham to expel Sara and her son. The anecdotal detail of presenting Sarah smiling, the dog, Sara's grief, etc. it can also be appreciated in the painting of the same theme of the flamenco PieterJozef Verhaghen (1728-1811), in which Abraham also appears with red cloak and turban, but the composition and environment differ; in the painting of Jan Victors from circa 1635 (Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest), with Sara and her son smiling; etc. However, some drawings by Rembrandt (Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art of Cornell University, two from Rembrandt's hand, are preserved, this institution has another, probably eighteenth-century and anonymous but very similar, and there is another from the artist's hand in the Metropolitan Museum) made in 1637 those of the master who follow, almost point by point, the present work except, logically, in the colorful and in the background, where the architectures of the baroque master are replaced by a landscape. Size: 15 x18. 5 / 28 x 30 cms. 5 cm (Depth).

The temptation of St Anthony. Oil on canvas. 17th c., after David Teniers II
By David Teniers the Younger
Located in Madrid, ES
Temptations of San Antonio Abad. Oil on canvas. 17th century, following the model of David Teniers II (Antwerp, 1610-Brussels, 1690). Oil on canvas showing a figurative scene located inside a cave. To the right, you can see a cross standing, supported; to the left, a hut; and in the center of the painting appears an elderly, bearded man, leaning on a table on which there is a ceramic jug and a skull, with an open book at the foot of it. The man looks towards a woman, who points to something outside, and appears accompanied by a large frog and a series of ghostly beings or monsters dressed in brightly colored cloth and clothing. San Antonio Abad or Antonio Magno (251-356) was a Christian monk, considered the founder of the eremitical movement. He was tempted numerous times by the devil while he was in the desert, becoming a subject frequently represented in art (as can be seen in this oil painting). He is represented in a black habit because the Order of the Knights of the Hospital of San Antonio (Hospitals) was placed under his patronage, being the color of the habits of the members of this order (the tau or Egyptian cross was also the symbol chosen by they). David Teniers II or El Joven was a prominent Flemish painter and engraver, son of David Teniers El Viejo or I and father of David Teniers III, much appreciated at the time for his scenes of villagers and common people, his paintings of monkey painters, etc. . He dealt with the theme of the Temptations of Saint Anthony...

Frans Franken III 16th Century Oil on Wood, Adoration of the Magi, Painting
By Frans Franken the Younger
Located in IT
Frans Franken III and aid, Adoration of the Magi Good condition The oil painting on wood, with a gold background, depicts an Adoration of the Magi. The Magi are dressed in sumptuous silk and brocade dresses; they wear precious hats and jewelery. The richness of their garments is in contrast with the humility of the Holy Family and of the other characters who, around curious, observe the scene. The hut is simple, made of wood and straw: above it shines the Comet, symbol of the divine event. In the distance, a group of wayfarers walk along a path that is lost on the horizon, blending into the gold of the bottom. The representation proposes a traditional iconography, in which the painter inserts some details that he lends himself to symbolic interpretations. Among these is the appearance of the Magi, who from the XIVth century differs iconographically: the wise astronomers represent the homage to Jesus of the then known parts of the world, namely Africa, Asia and Europe. To the right of the Magi, in the foreground, sits a monkey, considered a demonic creature and a symbol of lies and sin. It is depicted on the sidelines, as a defeat, next to a fragment of a classical column: ruin alludes to the end of paganism, of the old world that collapses with the advent of the new one, marked by the birth of Christ and liberation from the Original Sin. On the ruins he climbs the ivy, symbol of the immortality of the soul. The work is attributable to the workshop of the Flemish painter Frans Francken III...
