École Baroque Espagnole (XVIII) - L'Offrande à Vertumnus

- Oil on canvas. Stretched canvas.

- Far from mere decorative bragging, the seasonal still life in Spanish Baroque — faithful to the lineage of Juan van der Hamen or Labrador — transforms the fruits of the earth into a mystical poem about the brevity of time and the fleeting abundance. Against the sobriety of the background, a menacing yet surgical light carves the velvety skin of peaches, the golden transparency of grape clusters, and the rustic wicker basket, elevating each vegetable and fruit to the dignity of a secular relic. In this wise arrangement of apples, figs, and plums signaling the end of summer, the painter not only celebrates the natural miracle of the seasons but also whispers a typically Hispanic moral lesson: the vanitas contained in earthly beauty, captured at its exact moment of ripeness, pauses forever at the edge of decay.

- Dimensions of the image without frame: 80 x 65 cm / 92 x 77 cm with exclusive custom frame.

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original, and unreplicable. Each piece in our gallery results from deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique, characteristics that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are individually created pieces by renowned artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the cornerstone of our commitment to excellence, and therefore every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully curated to ensure its uniqueness. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning an unrepeatable piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will preserve its artistic and emotional value. We take pride in offering works that not only beautify spaces but also connect our clients with the richness of human expression through the most authentic art. Thus, we guarantee that every work leaving our gallery is a one-of-a-kind piece in the world, with no replicas, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is indispensable to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free international circulation.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and unrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in each acquisition, we offer a digital Guarantee Certificate, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate certifies that the purchased work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin, and condition. The Guarantee Certificate includes full details about the piece, such as the author, date of creation, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Guarantee Certificate will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the acquired piece. This document will be sent in digital format and will be signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and support.

We are committed to our clients’ satisfaction and confidence, so any questions about authenticity or the condition of the work will be addressed professionally and diligently. To request your Guarantee Certificate, please contact us through our usual channels.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we commit to ensuring that each piece arrives at its destination safely and in the best possible condition. For this, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee the utmost care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to changes depending on various circumstances, including fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and potential extraordinary circumstances such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed beforehand before proceeding with shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailored 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, and is therefore 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. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will not be accepted as valid grounds for opening a claim or requesting a cancellation.
