- Lot Description
Spanish School; XVII century. "St. Vincent Ferrer". Oil on canvas. Relined. Presents perforations, missing a cleaning test and repainting. It has a frame with faults. Measurements: 57,5 x 45,5 cm; 71,5 x 58 cm (frame). San Vicente Ferrer was a Spanish Dominican of the late fourteenth and early fifteenth century, thaumaturge, preacher, logician and philosopher. He preached in Spain and in various cities of Europe, especially in Italy, following the famous vision he had in the city of Avignon in 1398. He was followed by multitudes, and performed numerous miracles. Very important was his active and decisive participation in the Compromise of Caspe, where Fernando de Antequera was elected king of Aragon. Moreover, it is said of him that all those who listened to him understood him, whether they were Castilians, French, Basques, Italians from Piedmont and Lombardy, etc., despite the fact that he always preached "in his Valencian language". To this gift of languages alludes precisely the flame that is usually represented above his head. Called the Dominican thaumaturge saint, St. Vincent Ferrer enjoys a very widespread cult, which led already at an early date to a wide development of his iconography, which is very diverse. Traditionally he is represented with the habit of the Dominican order, with the tonsure, an arm raised pointing to heaven and a parchment on which is read "Timete Deum et date Illia honorem quia venit hora iudicius eius" ("Fear God and give him glory, because it is already the hour of his judgment", AP. 14, 7). He can also appear with a flame on his head, wings on his back, an angel playing the trumpet, a book and a lily. In the work that stands out for its sobriety, the author presents us with a half-length portrait with the saint's face turned to the right and his hands raised in an attitude of prayer. Only the legends that are arranged in the upper part of the composition indicate the identity of the protagonist.
