Mariano Salvador Maella (Valencia, 1739 - Madrid, 1819)‘Immaculate ConceptionOil on canvas.79 x 49 cm.This is most certainly a preparatory painting, finished in detail, for the large canvas for the altar of the chapel of San Antonio in the church of San Francisco el Grande in Madrid. Another preparatory work, ‘The Immaculate Conception’ (P007602) by Maella, circa 1787, is on display in the Museo del Prado in room 89. With the exception of the dimensions (142 x 74 cm), everything else is identical.Consequently we have referred to the description given by the Prado on its website:‘The composition is configured in three interdependent registers in order to highlight the main image of the painting. The upper space is occupied by the Eternal Father, surrounded by angels who appear to support him, accentuating his marked foreshortening and constituting a kind of canopy of figures in the manner of a determining apex of Divine Grace. Below, the Virgin, dressed in the traditional attire - a blue mantle billowing behind her and a white tunic - raises her eyes to heaven and crosses her hands over her breast. The angels in the lower area carry some traditional symbolic elements such as lilies, a mirror and a rose, and partly conceal a terrestrial sphere on which an ophidian glides, almost segmented by the emerging horn of a lunar crescent. It bites into the apple of original sin and seems to be strangely chased away by an angel in the lower right corner, who holds the necklace of the royal order in his hands.Maella perfectly combines the two tonal ranges, relying on cold or warm use of colour, depending which is most useful for his particular vision, while distributing the details by harmonising them through successions of parallel or zigzag diagonals, in order to obtain the impression of dynamism, underlined by the attitudes of all the figures, except for the Virgin, who provides the calm note in the midst of a formulation that is little less than centrifugal on the whole.’Reference bibliography:- Museo del Prado.

AFTER CARL KAUBA (1865-1922) A LARGE AUSTRIAN COLD-PAINTED BRONZE FIGURE OF A NATIVE AMERICAN CHIEF, indistinct impressed marks to the reverse, carrying a tomahawk in one hand and a shield the other, on a naturalistic stone base, 48cm high overall, Provenance: The Les Watts Collection.Note: Carl Kauba was born in Austria in August, 1865. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. His cold-painted bronzes depicting Native Americans are highly sought after, even though it is very much debated that he ever visited America. The sculpture is believed to depict the Native American War Chief 'Rain in the Face' of the Hunkpapa band of Lakota Sioux. He played an important part in the Battle of Little Big Horn, which saw the defeat of General Custer and his 7th Cavalry, and as such he was a popular figure subject to numerous studies. The American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote a poem about him entitled "The Revenge of Rain in the Face".
