Lot 61
Andalusian school; 19th century."Saint Raphael".Carved, polychromed and gilded wood.It conserves the beacon of the period.Measurements: 45,5 x 19 x 15 (without crown); 53 cm (height with base); 65 cm (height with fanal).Devotional sculpture made of wood which stands out for its polychrome colouring. The image represents Saint Raphael, which can be deduced from the iconographic attributes that he holds in his hands: the pilgrim's staff and the fish, as well as the silver border that is placed on the foot. The foot is gilded and richly carved, with realistic decorative elements simulating flowers on the upper part. Above the foot is a rock-shaped base on which two small, seated little angels rest, and in the centre is an upright figure of the Archangel. The piece stands out for the finesse of its carving, which can be appreciated in the dynamism achieved by the artist through the posture of Saint Raphael, and the movement of his garments, with the mantle fluttering over the chest of the main figure standing out.Saint Raphael is one of the seven archangels who stands before the throne of God. He is known as the healing archangel, due to his divine intervention with the character Tobias, whom he healed of blindness. He is often depicted with a fishing rod, next to a fish or with the pilgrims' staff, an attribute that identifies him as the patron saint of travellers, since, with his help, he guides spiritual journeys in the search for truth and knowledge.

Lot 8
Neapolitan school; 18th century."Saint Raphael".Carved and polychrome wood. It has vitreous paste eyes.There are faults in the carving and polychromy.It has repainting.Measurements: 39 x 25 x 20 cm.In spite of the lack of attributes such as the fish or the cane, the presence of the shells on the upper part of the mantle carried by this angel indicates that it is a representation of Saint Raphael. The work stands out for the great dynamism achieved by the author, through the arrangement of the figure, the pronounced folds of the garment and the volume of both the hair and the feathers that make up the wings of this devotional sculpture. Saint Raphael is one of the seven archangels who stands before the throne of God. He is known as the healing archangel, because of his divine intervention with the character Tobias, whom he healed of blindness. He is often depicted with a fishing rod, next to a fish or with the pilgrims' staff, an attribute that identifies him as the patron saint of travellers since, with his help, he guides spiritual journeys in the search for truth and knowledge.Given the importance given to religious images in the Hispanic world, during the 17th and 18th centuries ambitious pictorial series and extensive iconographic programmes were created for churches and convents, as well as printed prints, medals and reliquaries for private devotion. As a whole, regardless of their size or medium, these images fulfilled the aim of sacralising everyday life beyond the altars. The Neapolitan school of the early 18th century, heir to the Baroque tradition of the 17th century, was the most important during this period, receiving and developing the stylistic patterns of the Baroque. The Neapolitan school of the 17th century enjoyed a spectacular development, leaving behind the splendour of the previous century and progressing within a fully Baroque and clearly identifiable style. It is characterised by an interest in movement and vibrant colours. Neapolitan Baroque sculpture shows a marked taste for naturalism, a trend to which this sculpture belongs.

Gerard Dillon (1916-1971)Moonlight Scene, West of Ireland Oil on canvas, 30.5 x 40.5cm (12 x 16'')SignedProvenance: Acquired directly from the artist by his friend, Ms. Sally Devlin; sale, Whyte's, Dublin 22/11/17, lot 40; private collection.Dillon has created a beautiful lunar scene of a west Ireland inlet, with the moon slowly rising, orb-like, over the still and silent bay. it illuminates the sky, casting bright rays, picked out in white highlights against the deep blue. We see a lone figure in the centre of the composition, walking back along the traditional patchwork stone walls towards the thatched cottages in the distance. He appears to be carrying a fishing rod over his shoulder, perhaps on a journey back from a session of night-fishing. There is a single black cow grazing behind him, picked out against the green and blues of the landscape.While it is a relatively small work, the sense of distance is well executed. As the viewer we feel as if we are standing on the grassy plain in the foreground looking over across the inlet to the figure in the background. His clever use of colour subtly separates land from sea and sky. The inland waterways and tributaries wind in and out around the island, leading us out into the larger bay and sea beyond. He uses quick, flat strokes of white to delineate the varying tones in the natural stone walls.We get a sense of a place on the edge of the world, picturesque but isolated. We are reminded of the hardships of living on a remote island with little or no connection to the mainland. It is reminiscent of another work sold in these rooms in 2019, Moonstruck Youth, of a local fisherman standing barefoot after finishing his work for the day. it is a very different view from that of other artists who were also transfixed by this particular landscape. While the beauty is still there, it is a more honest and melancholic expression. Yet it was also a place that Dillon loved to visit, enjoying many happy holidays on the island of Aran, following a more primitive and peaceful way of life.Niamh Corcoran, February 2022
