The Supper at Emmaus
|
|
81 x 101 cm Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest The Supper at Emmaus is set in a contemporary inn as in the famous composition of Caravaggio and thus it is genre-like. The foreground is composed as a still-life, its elements are typical in contemporary Spanish painting. The influence of Bassano can be clearly seen. However, the colours shows the Spanish 'tenebroso" tint. Variants of similar quality are in Bilbao museum and in Madrid, private collection. Secularized variant of the same composition (Christ is turned into a dice player) is in Mil?colletion, Barcelona

ORRENTE, Pedro:
Spanish Baroque Era Painter, 1580-1645
Spanish painter. He is one of the most interesting artists of his day. His father, Jaime Orrente, was a merchant from Marseille, his mother, Isabel Jumilla, from Murcia. By 1600 Orrente was active in Toledo, where he was commissioned to paint a retable (untraced). In 1607 and again in 1611 he was in Murcia, and a journey to Italy recorded by Jusepe Mart?nez and Palomino must have taken place between those years. It seems certain that he visited Venice and met Leandro Bassano
