Description
Founding Saints of the Major Orders in Glory, Attributed to Lucas Valdés, Seville School, 17th century Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 39 x 29 cm. The scene brings together various founding saints and religious figures gathered in a celestial vision presided over by Christ and Saint Peter amidst radiant light and glorious clouds. The figures are arranged in a dynamic, ascending composition that combines expressive gestures, exchanged glances and devotional postures, whilst a group of angels reinforces the supernatural dimension of the scene. The composition, probably conceived as a preparatory sketch, stands out for its spontaneous execution and the fluidity of the brushstrokes, which effectively create the luminous atmosphere and overall sense of movement. The use of colour and Baroque theatricality are in keeping with the Sevillian tradition developed by Lucas Valdés and his circle. The work is of particular interest both as a compositional study and for the iconographic richness it conveys within a small format. Dimensions: 39 x 29 cm.
