- Lot Description
Spanish school or novohipsana; XVIII century. "Portrait of a gentleman. Oil on canvas. It presents faults in the polychrome, restorations. Measurements: 78 x 62 cm. Portrait of a gentleman who appears in profile looking at the viewer and pointing to a file that he holds with one hand, while pointing with the other, a gesture that indicates the importance that the protagonist is giving to his profession, probably as a jurist since the wig, although common during the time was associated with that sector. During the eighteenth century, as in the rest of Europe, the portrait became the genre that was acquiring more prominence due to the excellence of Italian painting, as a result of the new social structures that were implemented in the Western world throughout this century, embodying the ultimate expression of the transformation of taste and mentality of the new clientele, emerged between the nobility and the wealthy gentry, who would take the reins of history in this period. While official circles gave preponderance to other artistic genres, such as history painting, and the incipient collecting encouraged the profusion of costume paintings, portraiture monopolized the demand for painting destined for the more private sphere, as a reflection of the value of the individual in the new society. This genre embodies the permanent presence of the image of its protagonists, to be enjoyed in the intimacy of a studio, in the daily warmth of a family cabinet or presiding over the main rooms of the house.
