THOMAS E. KIRBY AND HIS ASSISTANTS, Mr. Orro Bernet AND Mr. H. H. PARKE, OF THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, MAnaGeErRs NEW YORK CITY 1921 f ee: i TE ‘ i PA H x LL DETAILS A TEXT AND THE LAUREANO MEDINA COLLECTION There has seldom been offered at public sale a collection, mainly of Spanish origin and consisting of less than one hundred and ten items, in which there are so many worth-while art objects from the collector’s or decorator’s point of view. This manifold interest is undoubtedly accounted for by the important sources from which these objects were derived; among others, the Marquis de Corvera of Murcia, Rojas de Aceves of Seville, Don José de Sotomayor y Ortega of Madrid, the Marquis Delgado de Villa- longa of Palma (Majorca), the Alhambra (Granada), the well- known connoisseur Don Ricardo Llombart of Barcelona, the ancient Sabatier Family, EKusebia Belbell of Alcala la Real, Robert Duchesnois of Paris, Ortufio y Acuna of Burgos, many churches and several cathedrals. The Sculptures in wood or ivory, for which Spain is noted, include a St. Jerome by Alonzo Berruguette (1480-1561) ; it is seriously modeled and in its strength has a very positive reminis- cence of Michael, Angelo. The earlier Gothic statuettes are all of naive interest and intensely devotional in conception; a Madonna and Child in walnut, very simple in its technique, is full of tender dignity. Among the Ivories is a small fourteenth century Diptych of French origin, full of dramatic vigor. Two unusually elaborate and well-conceived Solomonic Columns would have delighted the eye of the late Stanford White with their richness and com- plexity of detail. The decorative Early Furniture includes several Varguefios, Ebony Cabinets finely adorned with painted panels that are rich in color, a unique Walnut Table with very unusual open supports and in excellent condition and a small Painted Leather Hispano- Moresque Box of the fifteenth century that would grace any museum as a reference document. Two Panels of tiles by the modern Spanish master, Juan Zuloaga, are painted with much breadth and portray interesting subjects. A massive Silver Shrine and a Processional Cross of the early Renaissance are fine examples of the Spanish Silversmith’s Art; a number of Brass Votive Lamps, of a slightly later period, have especial decorative value. The Watches, Fans, Brocades, Filet Laces and Embroid- eries are of more than casual interest. Two Early Alpujarra Carpets are as interesting as they are unusual. There is a charming seventeenth century Aubusson Tapestry, with original floral border; the subject, “Jove Issuing Commands to Mercury,” is woven in rich, soft agreeable colors. Many decorative Spanish Paintings of the sixteenth, seven- teenth and eighteenth centuries have fine color schemes and include Flower subjects by Arellano, and Architectural and Classic Land- scapes. A Triptych by Adrian Isenbrandt and a strongly handled example by Quentin Matsys, ‘The Misers,” a variant of the same subject in the Pinacoteca at Bologna, worthily represent the sixteenth century Flemish School. The Gothic Primitives include two important examples by the Catalonian, Vergos, and an important Series of Sanctuary Panels and two Doors by Borrassa (1390-1434) which formed the remarkable setting for an Altar in the Church of San Juan, Segovia; these panels rival in devotional and decorative quality that most remarkable Altarpiece bequeathed to the Metropolitan Museum by the late Mr. Laffan. The rich, flaming colors and gold backgrounds, and the distinction of the costumes, give a rare place to these panels. Their history is interesting, for during the eighteenth century they were removed from sifu and aban- doned behind the organ, remaining concealed there till 1886, when they were acquired by the Marquis Delgado de Villalonga of Palma (Majorca) for his private collection. The attributions in the catalogue are those of the owner of the collection, whose standing as a connoisseur and expert makes it plausible that they should be accepted. CONDITIONS OF SALE 1.
