ZACARIAS GONZALEZ VELAZQUEZ

(1763 / 1834)

ZACARIAS GONZALEZ VELAZQUEZ Madrid (1763) / (1834) "Saint Barbara"

Oil on canvas. Provenance: - Vitoria, private collection; - Madrid, private collection. Bibliography: - Nuñez, B., "Zacarias GonzAlez VelAzquez (1763-1834)", Madrid, 2000, pp. 197 and 335, cat. no. p. 106. Included by Berta Nuñez in the catalogue of paintings by Zacarias GonzAlez VelAzquez, it was identified thanks to the preservation of a photograph of it in the Mas Archive (E-5459 and E-5602). As the specialist indicates, the small canvas was the sketch for a large devotional painting. The saint, dressed in Roman dress, wears a crown on her head in allusion to her illustrious lineage and carries the palm of her hand commemorating her martyrdom. With an elegant gesture, her left arm rests on the three-windowed tower where she was imprisoned, and the angel at her feet displays the sword with which she was beheaded. Between clouds, she receives a beam of light and directs her gaze to heaven in a clear episode of glorification. Dimensions: 33.5 x 23 cm.
