Spanish Drawings from the Hamburger Kunsthalle: Cano, Murillo and Goya

Museo Nacional del Prado. Madrid 10/30/2014 - 2/8/2015

The Hamburger Kunsthalle, in terms of quality and quantity, houses one of the most important collections of Spanish Old Master drawings outside Spain, numbering more than 200 works. Assembled in Seville in the early 19th century, it was subsequently sold on the London art market and acquired by the Hamburg museum in 1891.

The core of the collection comprises drawings by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo and by some of his most important contemporaries and followers, many of them associated with the Academy founded in Seville by Murillo, Juan de Valdés Leal and Francisco de Herrera the Younger. In addition, the exhibition includes important works by other leading Golden Age masters such as Alonso Cano and Antonio del Castillo.

Another outstanding section is the group of drawings by Francisco de Goya based on original paintings by Velázquez that are now in the Museo del Prado.

Exhibition

The collection and the inventory

The presence in the exhibition of the two frontispieces that divided up the album of drawings, and the inventory compiled by the Mexican draughtsman José Atanasio Echeverría provide the context for the origins of this collection and its arrival at the Hamburg Kunsthalle.

The drawings were mounted in the album in reverse chronological order, starting with the most recent and proceeding back to the 17th century, which is the most important section of the collection.

The earliest drawings in the collection

Among the earliest drawings in the Hamburg collection are two female portraits that probably depict Mary of Hungary, Charles V’s sister, and Anna of Austria, Philip II’s fourth wife. In addition, The Lamentation over the dead Christ, which can be associated with the Valencian studio of Juan de Juanes, is an initial study, probably for a sculptural relief. The arrangement of the figures, following the curve of the arch into which they were to be set, emphasises the idea of their shared grief around Christ’s dead body.

The early 17th century

The drawings on display in this section clearly indicate the medium’s potential for artists when planning large-format compositions, such as an Adoration of the Shepherds for which the Boy’s Head was possibly intended, or altarpieces, for which preparatory studies were employed such as the Saint John the Evangelist attributed to Vicente Carducho. The practice of making studies of the human body from life for subsequent use as figures in finished compositions was widespread among artists. Examples here include the anonymous studies of heads and figures.

Another study for a now lost altarpiece is the drawing ofSaint Francis based on an original by Jusepe Ribera.

Apostle series: Herrera the Elder and Herrera the Younger

Due to their technique and style these twelve drawings have been attributed to Francisco de Herrera the Elder. They can be related, some directly, to various works from a recently restored Apostles series formerly in the convent of Santa Clara in Priego.

These drawings by Herrera the Elder and Younger reflect their interest in Apostles series, a widely used theme in the Catholic world in the first half of the 17th century. Popularised by artists such as El Greco, they signify the creation of a pantheon of Catholic heroes.

Alonso Cano

These works by the Granada-born Cano, one of the most prolific Spanish draughtsmen of the 17th century, reveal his versatility. Some, such as Project for an Altarpiece with the Figure of Saint Diego de Alcalá and Design for a temporary Decoration, were produced in connection with his activities as a designer of altarpieces and ephemeral structures, and for the Saint Catherine of Alexandria Altarpiece, one of Cano’s masterpieces.

A characteristically Dominican subject is the drawing of the miraculous apparition of the Virgin and three saints who show a painting of Saint Dominic to a monk of that Order.

Francisco Herrera the Younger

In 1660, together with Murillo and other artists, Francisco Herrera the Younger founded an Academy in Seville for art teaching. This is the context for the production of most of the drawings in the following sections of this exhibition. Some of the sheets in the Hamburg collection were previously attributed to Murillo, including The Infant Saint John the Baptist, an example of a model created and popularised by the latter.

This section includes two of the most unusual drawings in the exhibition, both by Herrera. Gentleman in a Landscapeis a rare example of a secular subject within the context of 17th-century Spanish drawings and may be related to a theatrical design project. The Temptations of Saint Anthony transforms this traditional episode into a dance in which a demon-satyr prances around the afflicted saint holding a bunch of grapes.

Antonio del Castillo

Two of the drawings in this section include references to the idea of artistic creation and creative pride, concepts championed by painters such as the Cordoban Castillo.David and Goliath has an inscription that states Castillo’s role as its physical and intellectual creator, almost like a modern copyright. It can be located in the context of his dispute with the Cordoban painter Juan Luis Zambrano, to whom a painting on the same subject by Castillo was attributed. The Male Head also states Castillo to be its creator and was probably part of a complete sheet of studies of busts in different poses that was subsequently cut up. The finished drawings may have been used for transferral to canvas by squaring-up or as a model for almost identical copies of them.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo

Murillo was the most important artist in Seville in the mid-1650s, exercising a notable influence on his pupils and contemporaries, as these drawings demonstrate. In addition to one of his masterpieces, The Assumption of the Virgin, others reveal his originality in the interpretation of traditional subjects, such as the Study of Mary Magdalene asleep on Christ’s empty Tomb, or show how he used drawing within the working process.

Angel with Saint Veronica’s Veil and Angel with the Crown of Thorns are by members of Murillo’s studio or followers. Based on originals by his hand, they were transferred to other supports using squaring-up and tracing, respectively. Other works such as Saint Francis embracing the Crucified Christ and The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine are copies of paintings by Murillo.

Juan de Valdés Leal

Research undertaken for this exhibition has demonstrated the connection between two drawings displayed here,Head of Saint John the Baptist and Study for Elijah and the Prophets of Baal, and one of the artist’s most important projects, the altarpiece for the Shod Carmelite monastery in Cordoba, commissioned from Valdés in 1655. Similarly,Saint Ferdinand can be related to the painting of that subject commissioned by the Chapter of Jaén cathedral in 1673 for the celebrations to mark the saint’s canonisation.

The Academy in Seville

The Seville Academy, established in the 17th century, and the style of two of its founders, Murillo and Valdés Leal, had a notable influence on the work of subsequent generations of artists.

Murillo clearly influenced the drawings of Saint Joseph with the Christ Child by Jerónimo de Bobadilla. A pupil in his youth of Zurbarán, Bobadilla was a member of the Academy and held official positions there, indicating his high reputation in Seville. He was also a collector of drawings.

The Flemish artist Cornelis Schut III was also a president of the Academy. Works such as The Adoration of the Eucharist and The Virgin of the Rosary combine what he assimilated in Seville with his Flemish origins.

Murillo also influenced Núñez de Villavicencio, whose drawing of Saint Sebastian and Saint Roch with Angels on Clouds and the Holy Spirit reveals the devastating effect on Sevillian society of the outbreak of the plague in 1649, depicting as it does the city’s two great protector saints against this dreaded illness.

The Seville Academy: the second generation

The work of Clemente de Torres is strikingly close to the style of Juan de Valdés Leal, considered to have been his teacher. This is evident in Christ bearing the Cross, a subject that Valdés depicted on at least three occasions, and in the angels at the Virgin’s feet, which recall those in two Immaculate Conceptions by Valdés now in the Museo de Bellas Artes in Seville. Torres’s drawing is a good example of the frequent re-use of paper at the time as it is drawn over a letter.

Domingo Martínez trained with Valdés Leal’s son Lucas but iconographically he was the artist in Seville closest to Murillo after the latter’s death, as his drawings of The Virgin and Child and The Immaculate Conception reveal. Disdained by Ceán Bermúdez and subsequent 19th-century art historians, Martínez enjoyed enormous prestige in his own time, particularly during the Lustro Real, the five-year period when the court was based in Seville between 1729 and 1733.

Echeverría and his contemporaries

The exhibition also includes works by academic artists such as Pablo Pernicharo and Maella, including a preparatory study by the latter for his frescoes in the palace of El Pardo. There are also numerous drawings by Echeverría, some preparatory for prints, such as The Virgin of Covadonga, and others relating to his participation in scientific expeditions, includingOrnithological Studies of five Birds. Also displayed here are three drawings previously attributed to Goya, The Virgin appearing on a Column to Saint James the Apostle,Flight of a Hot Air Balloon and Landscape with Houses, Shrubs and a Pyramid, but now rejected following research undertaken for this exhibition.

Francisco de Goya

The drawings by Goya constitute one of the keystones of the Hamburg collection, albeit with a different provenance. Although acquired in London in 1891 along with the other Spanish drawings, they were not part of the album originating with the Academy.

The most important group comprises the drawings formerly in the collection of the scholar Ceán Bermúdez that are preparatory studies for Goya’s prints based on original paintings by Velázquez: Francisco Lezcano, el Niño de Vallecas; The Seville Water Seller; and The Buffoon Barbarroja.

Goya’s prints, which he first advertised in the Gazeta de Madrid on 28 July 1778, were partly intended to disseminate knowledge in Europe of works from the Spanish royal collection. However, his versions of Velázquez are not mere reproductions but agile and intelligent interpretations of that artist’s work.

The preparatory drawings for the Tauromaquia probably also belonged to Ceán. Goya demonstrates his ability to express the drama of the bullfight in images such as The forceful Rendón stabs a bull with the Pique and Two Teams of Picadors thrown one after the other by a single Bull.

Finally, there are two important sheets from the now dispersed “Album B” or “Madrid Album”, which depict scenes of a sexual nature involving women, namelyCouple reclining in the Shade/Procuress dressed as a Maja waiting by a Bridge, and Couple with a Parasol on the Street/Majas flaunting themselves on the Street.
