Attributed to ANDRÉS PÉREZ (Seville, c. 1660 - 1727)."Virgin with Child and Angels".Oil on canvas. Relined.Frame from the 19th century (ca.1820).It presents faults and repainting.Measurements: 103 x 83 cm; 115 x 95,5 cm (frame).In this painting of Marian theme, we can appreciate characteristic solutions of the Sevillian Baroque, and more specifically of the master Andrés Pérez. We can glimpse Andrés Pérez's plastic work in many aspects: the soft flesh tones of the Virgin and the graceful bodies of the cherubs, the precise attention paid to the description of the different qualities (in cloths, soft cushions and other domestic objects), the narrative that the painter introduces with the small angels (a resource that can be seen, for example, in "Saint Joachim, Saint Anne and the Child Virgin" in the Museum of Fine Arts in Cordoba). A cherub holds the curtain, opening the scene as if it were a theatrical performance. This is a typically baroque device, and here it succeeds in masterfully integrating the sacred image. The Infant Jesus, on his mother's lap, holds up the rosary in one hand while the other rests on the basket of flowers presented to him by a cherub. The whole is brimming with tenderness and subtlety, thanks to the judicious use of light.Andrés Pérez attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Seville. He was greatly influenced by the work of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, although it is not known whether this was through his father or directly in Murillo's studio. The art historian Juan Agustín Ceán Bermúdez wrote: "Signed in 1707, they were in the tabernacle of the church of Santa Lucía, then Sevillian painters separated from Murillo". There is little information on the biography of the painter Andrés Pérez, son of the painter Francisco Pérez de Pineda, of whom he was probably a disciple. According to Cean, despite the Murillo influence of the period, Andrés Pérez possessed his own stylistic characteristics, such as a very precise drawing, characters of gentle expressiveness and broad scenes reminiscent of architectural settings or landscape perspectives. The two most important known works by this painter are in the Seville Museum of Fine Arts and are attributed to Ortega and Lucas Valdés.
