17th century Haarlem Spanish Flemish Dutch School - Saleswomen in Plaza Mayor with Spanish soldiers of the Glorious Tercios of Flanders
Oil on canvas. Canvas measurements: 80 x 60 cm, framed measurements: 100 x 85 cm. Painting close to the style of Juan de la Corte. Documented since 1616 as a court painter for the Buen Retiro Palace project of Philip IV, of which there are 50 documented commissions, after the demolition by the Revolutionary Government of 1868 and its demolition, many of his works were lost. His subject matter focuses on 'architecture, battles and countries', genres among which he was known inside and outside the Royal Court of Spain. There are documented works from 1623 - Fiesta in the Plaza Mayor of Madrid in honor of the Prince of Wales - always manifesting his Flemish training and the use of prints of the same origin. Its landscapes and architectural perspectives are usually populated with small figures forming biblical or mythological scenes. Sometimes they are grouped in series, such as the one dedicated to the Victories of Charles V, preserved in the Spanish Embassy in London. Provenance: important private collection in Madrid.
