Item Overview

Description

Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower left corner "TomAs Hiepes Fecit". Origin: Madrid, private collection. Bibliography: - Romero Asenjo, R., The Spanish still life in the 17th century: revealing its hidden nature, Icono I&R, Madrid, 2009, pp. 253-277; - Marco García, V., Baroque painting in Valencia (1600-1737), CEEH, Madrid, 2021, p. 449, TomAs Yepes, cat. no. 80. TomAs Hiepes, or Yepes, is one of the main representatives of still life painting of the 17th century, and also the most outstanding figure of the Valencian school of the 16th century in this type of genre. Still lifes, flower painting and, to a lesser extent, landscapes abound in his production. Its abundant production is due to the fact that it managed to develop an intense commercial activity inside and outside the borders of the Kingdom of Valencia. His works have always been highly appreciated by the well-to-do classes of Spanish society and, long ago, frequently appear in collection inventories and testamentaries. The work that we present here is a magnificent example of his production in which he shows, imitating nature, an elegant jug with flowers on a pedestal on which various fruits appear, such as: cherries, strawberry trees and some unripe almonds. The container shows with its shine and highlights the metallic qualities of the object and a rich decoration with a cherub between bands and chevrons. The floral repertoires are typical of the painter's work and are presided over by an imposing Fritilaria Imperialis, that crowns the arrangement, which is accompanied by other more common species in the painting of the moment such as: tulips, lilies, hyacinths, daisies, roses, peonies, foxgloves or jasmine. The presence of four butterflies flapping their wings brightens the whole ensemble. Although, due to its elegant sobriety and refinement, the first aspect that the painting offers is that of his earliest works, the technical analyzes to which it has been subjected reveal just the opposite. Romero, who unveiled the work in his 2009 study, revealed a series of data that allow us to situate its execution in the final phase of Yepes's career, in the 1960s, a stage in the painter's production in the that sacrifices the precision of the botanical species to favor that its composition has a much more exuberant appearance. As usual in the Valencian school, the artist uses a chiaroscuro effect, causing a significant contrast between the different elements that make up the still life, bathed in light, and the darkness of the neutral background. The technique used by Yepes on this canvas is also typical of Valencia, leaving the color of the preparation exposed in some areas in order to play with a series of chromatic effects through transparency. In the same way, another habitual characteristic can be seen in his still lifes, which is the use of different chromatic bases for the execution of each type of flower; applying primer spots that do not fit the floral silhouette, as they are usually smaller, and that serve to create a greater richness of textures, color ranges and lighting effects. All this,
