Spanish Old Master Paintings
DELAMANO Old Masters specialises in the work of Spanish masters from the 16th century up to the 19th century, focusing on artists from the Baroque period and on those from the so-called The Age of Enlightenment. Our strength is our scholary research. DELAMANO has issued diverse publications with reference to consultation from important Spanish and international art historians. Likewise, the exhibitios held at our gallery have sought to contribute to a broader art historical recognition of 17th and 18th-century Spanish paintings.
Spanish Old Master Drawings
DELAMANO has become a reference for Old Master drawings within the Spanish art market. Each year, the gallery presents a wide range of Spanish Old Masters and 19th century artists. It has been a common assumption within art historical practice that these drawings were exclusively created as preparatory sketches for final compositions. During these past few years, through the gallery’s active participation in fairs and thorough research, DELAMANO has aimed to challenge this traditional art-historical opinion, to reveal the true brilliance of Spanish Old Master drawings.
Spanish Colonial Art
Spanish Colonial Art and the exchange of images and ideas across the Atlantic, is one of DELAMANO’s primary focuses. New World Old Master Paintings were used by the Catholic church as pedagogical tools and instruments of devotion. Both the Portuguese and Spanish monarchies began converting indigenous peoples to Christianity, but the native artistic traditions of the diverse cultures and geographic areas of the New World transformed artistic source material imported from Europe into distinctive and original artworks such as enconchados or emplumados, thus preserving their identity.
Notable Sales
DELAMANO has accomplished significant sales to both Spanish and international institutions – including the Prado Museum (Madrid), Musée du Louvre (Paris), The British Museum (London), The Ashmolean Museum (Oxford), The Meadows Museum (Dallas), The Hispanic Society of America (New York), The Morgan Library and Museum (New York), J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), Detroit Institute of Arts (Detroit) or Museo de Arte de Ponce (Puerto Rico).
