VICENTE CASTELLO Y AMAT Valencia (1787 / 1860) "Portrait of Don Antonio Quiles, lawyer"
Oil on canvas. Signed on the lower right: "Vte. Castello Fecit" Vicente Castello is among the most outstanding disciples of Vicente Lopez in Valencia. An especially prolific artist, he practiced different genres such as religious painting, still life and portraiture. It is in this last field in which fewer testimonies have been preserved and what makes this painting that we present here become something unique within his abundant production. Ossorio remembers that “he painted countless portraits of the most distinguished people,” but today only that of the sculptor Jose Cloosterman is located, in the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia, and a couple of Self-portraits, from the collections of the Count of Alto Barciles and Lazaro Galdiano. Lawyer Antonio Quiles is represented in full body and seated at his desk in a domestic setting. In his composition, coloring and formal repertoires the influence of his teacher, the painter Vicente Lopez, is evident. Measurements: 160 x 98 cm.
