Description

Workshop of BARTOLOMÉ ESTABAN MURILLO (Seville, 1617 - Cadiz, 1682)."Virgin of La Merced".Oil on canvas.Measurements: 56 x 41,5 cm.Sobriety, subtlety and elegance come together in this devotional scene, which was formerly attributed to Murillo, by the expert Don Ramón Aznar. In the centre of the composition, the enthroned Virgin, on the faces of little angels, holds the Child on her lap. It is a maternal and intimate scene, which is defined by the Child's childlike attitude as he plays with his scapular. None of the characters look at each other, nor do they appeal to the viewer, but seem to concentrate on their own thoughts and destinies. Despite this, however, the warmth of the scenes is emphasised by the neutral, golden, faded background. This characteristic is largely reminiscent of works by Murillo's disciple, Francisco Meneses Osorio, such as the Virgin of the Assumption, which belongs to the Wallage Collection. The Virgin of Mercy is a Marian invocation of the Virgin Mary, whose devotion originated in Catalonia. The Order of Mercy was founded around her, initiated by Saint Peter Nolasco at the beginning of the 13th century. It was the Mercedarian monks who spread her cult throughout Spain, France and Italy from that date onwards. The iconography for the representations of the Virgin of Mercy acquired its definitive form in the 16th century, and consists of the Mercedarian habit with tunic, scapular and cloak, all in white, with the Mercedarian coat of arms on the chest. She usually appears wearing a queen's crown, and also with the sceptre in her right hand.The colouring of this work is soft and gentle, and is in keeping with the spirit of Sevillian painting in the late 17th century, and also with the creative sense of Meneses Osorio and his disciples, in short, all of them followers of the style of the great Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, whose work is strongly reminiscent of his own. Osorio was born in Seville and is thought to have died there. Very little is known of his life. He was a pupil and imitator of Murillo, and it has been suggested that some of the works attributed to Murillo were painted by Osorio. We know that Murillo considered him his friend, that he was a close acquaintance of Juan Garzón, with whom he worked as secretary and that he was later president of the Seville Academy. While he remained in that city he achieved great reputation and notoriety. This reputation is said to have been discarded after his death because it was considered that some of his copies of Murillo's works were so accurate that he should have signed the master's name. In fact, it was suggested that two of his copies had been accepted as genuine works by Murillo. It is said that he and Murillo worked together in the Capuchin church in Cadiz. His main work was painted for the church of San Martín in Madrid, and depicts the prophet Elijah. There are works by him in the museums of Cadiz and Seville, the latter related to the Order of St. Francis. A work depicting St Catherine, which is kept in Cadiz, is said to have had a special devotion to St Philip Neri and was buried in the church dedicated to that saint.
