ATTRIBUTED TO TOMAS HIEPES - SPANISH SCHOOL OF THE 17TH CENTURY
Oil on canvas. Tomás Hiepes, active from 1642. Stylistically, his compositions are archaic compared to what was being done in Madrid at the time. He rendered his figures using symmetry, order, delineation of contours, and tenebrist lighting, giving great importance to the representation of the qualities of the materials depicted in the paintings, following the example of artists such as Juan van der Hamen. His works included flowers and still lifes, pottery, baskets, various foodstuffs, and even hunting scenes, following Italian models. It appears that Tomás Hiepes also experimented with genre painting and religious painting. A Virgin of the Forsaken (1644) survives from the latter and is located in the Royal Monastery of Las Descalzas Reales in Madrid. Dimensions: 118 x 85 cm; 137 x 100 cm.
