Description
Circle of Juan de Valdés Leal,
Spanish 1622-1690-
Saint Apollonia;
oil on canvas, 157 x 105 cm.
Provenance:
The Collection of Anton Casamor, Bonhams, London, 11 April 2018, lot 185.
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
The present work depicts Saint Apollonia (d.249), an Alexandrian saint who, according to Christian tradition, was martyred during the persecution of Decius (c.201-251). Apollonia's torture was believed to have included the pulling and shattering of her teeth, which has led to her association with teeth, as she has been adopted as the patron saint of dentistry. Apollonia was typically depicted by 17th-century artists as holding a tooth in pincers, as in Francisco de Zurbarán's (1598-1664) 1636 painting of the Saint, now in the Louvre [M.I. 724], and in the present work.
The present painting is heavily reminiscent of the dramatic religious scenes of the Baroque painter De Valdés Leal, who studied under Antonio del Castillo (1616-1668) in Córdoba. This is particularly evident in the artist's depiction of the flowing drapery of Saint Apollonia's clothing, and in theatrical lighting of the scene from above.
