École Espagnole (c. 1630) - San Pedro de Alcántara

- Oil on canvas. Re-tented canvas.

- The Spanish mystic Saint Peter of Alcántara, renowned for his deep learning and rigorous asceticism, as well as for his close relationship with Saint Teresa of Jesus, is captured in this portrait with austere severity. His rounded features emerge in the dimness of his cell, a stark, pared-down space that dramatically contrasts with the formal complexity of court painting from the Felipe III era. The artist achieves an almost expressionist intensity, where the austerity of the surroundings amplifies the subject’s devotion: books are reduced to square volumes on a skeletal shelf, and the chair supporting the cleric is the minimal expression of furniture. This authentic and forceful work stands as a blunt declaration of the eloquence and inward intensity of Spanish art during the first quarter of the 17th century.

- Image dimensions without frame: 81 x 91 cm / 92 x 103 cm with an antique raw wood frame.

As art logistics experts, Montbaron Gallery is dedicated to ensuring that each piece arrives at its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To that end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, guaranteeing maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices shown in the advertisement are indicative and subject to change depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fuel price fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs.

Our goal is to provide the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring the work reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, so it is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be displayed immediately on your wall. Accordingly, no damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will be accepted as a valid reason to file a claim or request a cancellation.
