This painting depicts the moment after Hercules has killed King Geryon, identified by the crown on his head. The monarch had come to defend his herd of oxen and cows after the god Eurystheus had ordered Hercules to steal them.This work is part of a series of ten paintings that Francisco de Zurbarán was commissioned to paint in 1634 as decoration for the Hall of Realms in the Buen Retiro Pal
On 14 February 1612 Juan Bautista Maíno signed the contract to execute the paintings for the monastery church of San Pedro Mártir in Toledo. Maíno agreed to a period of eight months to make the paintings, which had to portray the scenes and episodes specified by the prior of the monastery. Despite the agreement reached in the contract, the paintings were not completed until De
Atribuido a Antonio Moro, carece de inscripciones o de un escudo que permita identificar a esta dama joven, retratada por el pintor de Utrecht con el porte que corresponde a la nobleza de su cuna como en todos sus retratos. La muestra de pie y de más de medio cuerpo, en posición de tres cuartos. Como en otras ocasiones, la dirección de la mirada, desviada de la de la cabeza, no se dirige frontalme
Con la adquisición en 2008 de la tabla Sagrada Familia con ángel músico (P08009), el Museo del Prado completa el tríptico del Maestro de Francfort, que perteneció al convento dominico de Santa Cruz de Segovia, del que ya poseía las dos tablas laterales (P01941 y P01942). Cuando Ponz visitó este convento en la década de 1770, sus tres tablas aún no se habían separado. En mayo de 1836, cuando Castel
Located against a background landscape resembling those of Joachim Patinir (c. 1480-1524), Saint Jerome kneels in prayer before a crucifix and skull. In this case he is not depicted inside a cave or by its entrance. His red robe and hat identify him as a cardinal while the book refers to his role as a Father of the Church and the translator of the Bible into Latin. Behind him is the lion who accom
Esta pintura ha sido relacionada con Durero (1471-1528) y con Lucas de Leiden (1494-1533). Supone un sobresaliente ejercicio de estilo que manifiesta su atenta observación de originales alemanes del siglo XV, cuya técnica Giordano intentó imitar. En ella Giordano aplicó una pincelada minuciosa y precisa de trazos cortos que reproducen con rigurosa exactitud el aspecto de los objetos, la incidencia
The saint kneels in prayer before an image of the Virgin and Child. The dove of the Holy Ghost hovers over her head. Her parents look on with admiring expressions from behind. The background architecture is very severe in its definition of space.
This painter is one of the most outstanding and singular representatives of the early Renaissance in Palencia. While there are no extant documents to prove it, this work must somehow be connected with Juan de Flandes (doc. 1496-1519) during the time that he was working in Palencia (1509-1519). This is visible in the strong dependence of its figures on Flandes´s models, as well as the manner of dep

Later variant of the painting Saint Jerome in his Study (1533, Madrid, Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, inv. 611). Its painter, who has been tentatively identified as Jan van Remmerswale, worked with his own patterns developed from Marinus’ compositions, but used a different technique to transfer them onto the panel. In contrast to Marinus, his paintings show a linear underdrawing ex
This triptych makes use of a traditional compositional scheme and iconography, with the principal scene in the central panel. However, the volumetric treatment of the figures reflects new Italian influences. This innovatory approach is also evident in the architectural background to the Holy Family, in which the habitual Gothic tracery is replaced by elements characteristic of of the new Mannerist
As part of the Royal Collection, the City Treasurer and his Wife (the so-called Money Changer and his Wife) is one of the few paintings by Marinus in Spain that can be traced to the eighteenth century, and one which played a decisive role in the rediscovery of the painter’s work. However, when it was first recorded in the collection of Isabel Farnesio in 1746 it was attributed to Lucas de Olanda (
A bird seller is tricked by a young man who shows him some coins with the right hand while robbing a rooster with the left. While the nationality of this artist is unknown, he seems to have learned his craft in Italy as his work shows a preference for the naturalistic approach of Caravaggio (1571-1610), and for some concepts of the Venetian school. His curious nickname comes from a certain similar
