Nel 1874 la famiglia si trasferì a Madrid, dove le sue opere iniziarono ad attirare l'attenzione degli amanti dell'arte. Nel 1881 si recò a Roma e, grazie all'aiuto del fratello José, riuscì a introdursi nel mercato artistico cittadino, rifornendolo di acquerelli e disegni a penna. L'anno successivo si affermò come scultore con la sua prima opera che gli valse una medaglia all'Esposizione Nazionale del 1884 e gli aprì le porte del successo. Nel corso della sua lunga carriera, ebbe l'opportunità di cimentarsi in tutti i generi dalla scultura alla pittura a olio all'acquarello sempre con grande successo come si evince dall'opera in catalogo.

MARIANO BENLLIURE GIL (Valencia, 1862 - Madrid, 1947). El ocaso de un sultán" ("The Sunset of a Sultan"). Gouache, charcoal and pencil on grey card.
Est: €6,000 - €7,000
MARIANO BENLLIURE GIL (Valencia, 1862 - Madrid, 1947). El ocaso de un sultán" ("The Sunset of a Sultan"). Gouache, charcoal and pencil on grey card. We would like to thank Doña Lucrecia Enseñat Benlliure (Mariano Benlliure Foundation) for her help in cataloguing this work. Signed in the lower left corner. Measurements: 64.5 x 49.5 cm; 117 x 86 cm (frame). This work was created by Benlliure to illustrate the cover of the book entitled "El ocaso de un sultán", written by the politician and journalist Darío Pérez. In 1907, due to his journalistic work for the publication "El imparcial", Pérez went to Morocco as a correspondent. The chronicles of his experiences in that city were compiled with the intention of creating a book. This initiative arose in 1908, the year in which he contacted Benlliure to commission him to illustrate the cover of the book, which was finally published in 1909. In the painting Benlliure synthesised the essence of the literary work through the use of an orientalist theme captured from a personal aesthetic perspective, demonstrating his skill as a draughtsman. The piece reveals his characteristic use of a bold brushstroke of great formal economy with which he manages to capture global and precise impressions. He uses the colour of the support itself to create a scene with a multitude of figures, including the horse in the foreground, whose configuration is largely reminiscent of the sculpture of General Martínez Campos, designed by Benlliure and unveiled in 1907. Mariano Benlliure was born into a family with a long artistic tradition. He was also a precocious artist, as he showed his gift for sculpture from an early age. His first competitions and exhibitions took place before he was ten years old. The man who was to become one of the most famous Spanish sculptors of the 20th century began to cultivate in his youth a subject in which he occupied a prominent place: bullfighting, and at the age of thirteen he presented a sculptural group called "La cogida del picador" at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1876. Initially, however, he devoted himself mainly to painting, a discipline he continued to cultivate in Paris with his master Domingo Marqués. In 1879 he moved to Rome where, fascinated by Michelangelo, he abandoned his brushes to devote himself exclusively to sculpture. In 1887 he settled permanently in Madrid, winning the first medal at the National Exhibition of the same year for his sculptural portrait of the painter Ribera. His name soon became famous. He produced numerous busts and public monuments, the most important of which is that of General San Martín in Lima. His style is characterised by a detailed and meticulous naturalism, a spontaneous impressionism, with a nervous modelling, so rapid and lively that the artist's manual imprint is evident in the clay. Alfonso XIII commissioned him to work for the Royal Household, and he executed important monuments such as those dedicated to Castelar, Gayarre, Marís Cristina de Borbón, Velázquez, Fortuny, Joselito and Imperio Argentina. In 1895 he was awarded the medal of honour for the sculpture of the poet Trueba, installed in Bilbao. He also held illustrious foreign decorations, such as the French Legion of Honour and the special medal of Emperor Franz Joseph. Mariano Benlliure has a museum named after him in Valencia, and is represented in the Museo de Bellas Artes San Pío V in the same city, the Museo del Prado and the Museo del Ejército in Madrid, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Murcia and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Santiago de Chile, among many other public and private collections around the world.

MARIANO BENLLIURE Valencia (1862) / Madrid (1947) "Portrait of Emilia Rodrigañez and Sánchez Guerra", 1921
Est: €7,500 - €10,000
Oil on canvas. Signed, dated and dedicated to Félix Eznarriaga in the upper right corner. Mariano Benlliure, better known as a sculptor, also practiced painting on different occasions, such as this splendid portrait of Emilia Rodrigáñez in which he shows the model seated, directing her gaze to the viewer and wearing a white dress. The plastic and the lighting of the work closely recall works by his great friend, the painter Joaquín Sorolla. From the preserved documentation we know that this portrait was painted in Villalba, during several sessions, on the farm known as "Los Rosales" owned by the Rodrigañez family. The Rodrigañez couple maintained a good friendship with Mariano Benlliure, fostered thanks to the neighborly relationship that developed in this town where the Benlliures had the "Villa Genarito" residence; whose name made reference to the performance of Lucrecia Arana as the first treble in "Genaro". In the cataloging of this lot we want to thank the help provided by the Mariano Benlliure Foundation and, in particular, Mrs. Lucrecia Enseñat Benlliure. Measurements: 110 x 80 cm.

PROVENANCE Don Pedro Alejandro Paterno (1857– 1911) and Doña Luisa Piñeyro de Lugo y Merino (Sra. de Paterno, d. 1897) Exposicion Historico-Natural y Etnográfica, Madrid, 1893 EXHIBITED Exposicion General de Las Islas Filipinas, 1887, Palacio de Cristal, Parque de Retiro, Madrid; Exposicion Historico-Americana, 1892 alongside the Exposicion Historico-Europe, Palacio de Biblioteca y Museos Nacionales (National Library and Museums) 1892, Parque de Madrid (formerly Parque de Retiro), Madrid LITERATURE A photograph of the Exposicion Historico-Natural y Etnográfica, Madrid, 1893. Collection of Don Pedro Paterno. by LUCRECIA ENSEÑAT BENLLIURE Mariano Benlliure Foundation, Madrid This bust of Pedro Paterno is modelled in Rome in 1881, the same year that Mariano Benlliure arrived in the city in the beginning of April, and where he immediately began working in a part of the studio of his brother and painter José Benlliure, in Via Margutta 33, who had resided there for two years. The expressive dedications of the bust and the photographs of two figures in terracotta (reproduced in this book), "To my dearest friend (...)" and "To the poet Pedro Paterno / his admirer / Mariano Benlliure", respectively, we discover a friendship and mutual admiration, which could have been initiated earlier in Madrid, and of which the photograph "Young artists in Rome" is also a testimony, in which they appear together with another of the brothers Benlliure, Juan Antonio, Juan Luna, Juan José Puerto, Félix Resurrección and Miguel Zaragoza (photo © Mariano Benlliure Archive, Madrid). In the bust of Paterno, sculpted to a size slightly smaller than the natural, Benlliure already left a record of some of the keys that will characterize his portraits. Modelled without accessory elements, it concentrates the composition in the psychological study of the face, which is worked with small incisions to profile its physiognomy, as seen in the hair, eyebrows and the incipient moustache, or in the soft touches that recreate the texture of the skin. With the emptying of the iris it manages to give expression to the look and the mud seems to come to life. In contrast, the torso is moulded with longer strokes, leaving some areas only sketched. Benlliure didn’t mind leaving visible the fingerprints and tools, a treatment that will be exaggerated over time, brings naturalness and tactility to his works and speaks of the sculptural process itself. THE ENIGMATIC DON PEDRO PATERNO by LISA GUERRERO NAKPIL Don Pedro Paterno would perhaps begin to hatch his plan to become an indispensable part of Spain’s elite sometime in 1881. Like the Resurreccion Hidalgo painting from the same year, it is a portrait of a man with a vision. Paterno had already established his reputation as a poet in Madrid social circles, reciting his own creations — as was the fashion of the day — in tertulias that he hosted at his spectacular residence at the palace of the Marques de Salamanca. He would also have witnessed the effect that Juan Luna’s first triumph at the Madrid Exposition of Fine Arts of 1881, with the moving “Death of Cleopatra” would have wrought on the Spanish court as well as the newshounds of the day. Don Pedro would thus launch a concerted effort to influence the cultural elite to put forward a project to be known as the Exposicion General de las Islas Filipinas. It was Paterno’s aim to project the Philippines as an important part of the firmament of Spain’s colonial empire. One newspaper article, by the editor of “El Liberal” on May 8, 1887 had this to say: The ‘Catapusan' Yesterday, almost at the same time as the 'news of that the Filipino Indios had arrived in Madrid for the Exposition at the Retiro, we received a card that said that was inscribed as follows, “The Maguinoo Paterno has the honor of inviting the director of ‘El Liberal' to a ‘catapusan’ (a Filipino festivity) to be held tonight at his home, Barquillo, 23.» We know Señor Paterno as a poet, for his ‘Sampaguitas’, as a novelist for his book on Filipino customs, ‘NInay’, and as a speaker, for his lectures at the Ateneo, but this is the first that we have known= him as ‘Maguinoo'. For this alone, we attended his catapusan. The new house of Messrs. Paterno, is a museum of Filipino treasures. If it had been entered into a competition, surely it would have won a prize. Last night's party was attended by many beautiful women our aristocracy, politicians, writers, etc. The guest of honor was the Marquise of Estella. They all examined the infinite objets d’art, listened to music and danced many waltzes and rigodons; and they were presented with a splendid dinner. A very clever deputy said at the end of the evening, “While Maguinoo, is a highly enviable noble title in the Philippines, Don Pedro Paterno has no real need of it, as he many other titles that the world is eager to give him."

Spanish sculptor. Son of a modest decorative painter who introduced his four sons – Blas, José, Juan Antonio and Mariano – to art from childhood. He spent his boyhood in Valencia and in 1874 he moved with his family to Madrid. After starting out in sculpture in a self-taught way and learning the trades related to sculpture, working in different artisan workshops, he traveled to Rome in 1881 to complete his training. There he perfected himself in the mastery of techniques and materials, in contact with the most important artistic foundries and with frequent visits to the Carrara quarries; In addition to being illustrated mainly with the study of classical, Renaissance and Baroque statuary, and the sculpture of the Italy of his time. From Rome, he sent his works to the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts. It was at that time in Rome when the brothers Mariano and Juan Antonio Benlliure began what would become a close friendship with the painter Juan Luna, and through Luna with other Filipino artists such as Resurrección Hidalgo, Pedro Paterno and Miguel Zaragoza, as reflected in the photograph belonging to to the Archive of the Mariano Benlliure Foundation. Benlliure modeled the busts of two of them, Luna and Paterno. In 1884 he won a second medal with Accidenti!, the sculpture that made him famous (Private Collection). Curiously, in that same exhibition Luna and Hidalgo were awarded for their works Spoliarium (first medal) and Las Virgenes Cristianas Expuestas al Populacho (second medal), respectively. Three years later, in 1887, Benlliure won the first medal with the statue of the painter José de Ribera (Plaza del poeta Llorente, Valencia). In 1895, the year he opened a studio in Madrid, he achieved the medal of honor with the statue for the monument to the writer Antonio Trueba (Jardines de Albia, Bilbao). At the same time and in international exhibitions, he won gold medals in 1894 in Vienna (Bust of the painter Francisco Domingo Marqués, Museum of Fine Arts, Valencia) and in Munich (Allegory of the Navy, Monument to the Marquis of Campo, Valencia), and in 1900 the Grand Prix at the Universal in Paris with an important set of works, among which the Gayarre mausoleum (Roncal, Navarra) stood out. In 1910 he participated, with a significant number of works, both in the International Exhibition of Contemporary Medals organized by the Numismatic Society of New York, and in the exhibitions commemorating the independence of several Latin American countries, in Mexico, Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires, where he was awarded the Grand Prize for Sculpture for Velázquez monument, which was acquired by the Argentine government. His work is extremely extensive and fruitful, and covers the different genres, typologies and sculptural techniques. Only in monumental sculpture he made more than fifty works distributed mainly throughout Spain and Latin America, but which also reached some parts of Europe and the United States of America and the Philippines. For these last two countries, he sculpted the monuments to William Atkinson Jones (Warsaw, Virginia, 1926), a member of the United States of America Congress and his Committee on Insular Affairs, and one of the main promoters of the independence of the Philippines; and to Arthur Walsh Fergusson, American diplomat and secretary of the Philippine Government Commission, (Manila, 1913). The monument to Fergusson has been exhibited since recent years in the National Museum of the Philippines in “The Spoliarium Hall”, together with the large canvas by Luna that gives the room its name. Mariano Benlliure approached his works naturally, he had an extraordinary facility for modeling and chiseling, and a personal sense of the combination of materials, generally marble and bronze, achieving an exquisite surface finish. His facet as a painter, poorly developed professionally, is present in all of his work. Through the play of chiaroscuro and a painterly modeling he gave to his works almost tactile qualities, strongly expressive. He paid equal attention to detail, which he executed with great ease and virtuosity far removed from all mannerism, as to the harmonic balance of his compositions. He assumed important public positions related to the world of culture and Fine Arts: between 1901- 1903 he was Director of the Academy of Spain in Rome, from 1917 to 1919 General Director of Fine Arts and from 1917 to 1931 Director of the Museum of Modern Art of Madrid – later integrated into the Prado Museum. He belonged to various Academies of Fine Arts: San Fernando in Madrid, San Carlos in Valencia, San Luis in Zaragoza, San Telmo in Malaga, San Lucas in Rome, Brera in Milan, Carrara and Paris; and he received important decorations, such as the Legion of Honor of France, Commander of the Order of the Crown of Italy or the Grand Cross of Alfonso X of Spain.

Condition: The medal is in a very good condition with slight signs of age and wear consisting of minimal surface abrasion. The diameter measures 22 cm. Mariano Benlliure y Gil (1862-1947) The Spanish artist was born in 1862 and studied under Domingo Marqués at the Academia de Bellas Artes de San Carlos in Valencia and later at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. After a trip to Paris and a longer stay in Rome, he became member of several academies, such as in Málaga, Milan and Munich. Throughout his life, Benlliure y Gil received numerous medals at various international art exhibitions, e.g. in Paris, Berlin, Munich and Buenos Aires; he was also awarded with several honorary crosses and honorary memberships. He initially had earned his keeps with watercolor paintings, yet later on he turned to sculpture.
