The Hispanic Society Museum in New York will be offering paintings for sale by the Workshop of El Greco (pictured), Hendrick de Somer, Agustín Esteve y Marqués and various works after or in the circle of Rubens, Zurbarán and Velázquez in a special online auction at Christie's New York next month. The sale, which ends on 17th October, is to benefit the museum's 'Collection Care and the Acquisition Fund'.
According to the auction house's website:
Property from the Hispanic Society Museum, to benefit Collection Care and the Acquisition Fund, traces the reach of Spanish influence across European painting from the late sixteenth to the early nineteenth century. Sacred imagery anchors the group: a canvas of Saint Dominic in Prayer from the workshop of El Greco; a Saint Francis in Ecstasy after Francisco de Zurbarán; and Hendrick de Somer’s Saint Jerome Hearing the Trumpet of the Last Judgement, steeped in the Neapolitan naturalism of Jusepe de Ribera.
