Beschreibung
Large, lacquered, cedar wood chest with iron fittings. Olinalá. Guerrero. Mexico. 18th century.
62 x 84 x 40 cm.
On the exterior, the decoration is composed of pairs of birds facing each other, jars of flowers and branches, all surrounded by a triple garland of vegetation and floral motifs. On the sides, with a very similar decoration, there is a single bird, in a central reserve over a bouquet of carnations, daisies and other flowers. The interior of the lid is intact and depicts a large central amphora holding bunches of carnations, pomegranates and, on both sides, two birds on a branch of flowers. A lower cartouche, topped by a fleur-de-lis on each side, displays the inscription that tells us who its owner was: “SOLA SOI DE MI SSra DOÑA JOSEHPA ANTOÑA”.
As Ruth Lechuga reports in her article for “Lacas mexicanas” (1997), “maque, lacquer, enamel or varnish is the name given to an artisanal technique that consists of applying and burnishing layers of grease, calcareous powders and colors on a smoothed surface, generally made of wood or cucurbitaceae such as gourds or pumpkins”.
In Olinalá, where this chest comes from, there are two different techniques: scratching, which is the case here, and gilding.
It is interesting to note, as Lechuga points out, that the use of 'painted' gourds was already very extended during pre-Hispanic times, using a very similar technique to that which is still used today. “During Colonial times and up to the present day, objects for daily use have been produced, some sumptuous and others more ceremonial and religious,” says Lechuga.
When the Spaniards arrived, there was already, for example, a consolidated trade in these objects: the gourd painter. In this sense, Sonia Pérez Carrillo and Carmen Rodríguez de Tembleque report in the same publication that “there were several crafts that the Spaniards found strongly rooted in New Spain upon their arrival in the first quarter of the 16th century”. A century later, “only those that continued to satisfy the daily or religious needs of the indigenous population,” as is the case of the maque technique presented on this chest, were able to establish themselves definitively.
This great ark, in fact, is a clear example of the fusion between the indigenous technical tradition and the new decorative supports and the new aesthetic patterns, influenced by the European art of the time, which Carrillo and Tembleque call the “acculturation process”.
There is some wear and tear and a small piece of the right leg is missing.
The Brooklyn Museum has a comparable Olinalá lacquer chest in its collection, although its own is dated later, in 1878 (Ref. L41.106).
This lot comes from the Miguel Iglesias collection (Celendín, 1830 - Lima, 1909). He was a Peruvian military officer and politician who was president of Peru between 1882 and 1885, in what is known as the Government of Miguel Iglesias or Regenerating Government of the Peruvian Republic. This government was established in the middle phase of the War of the Pacific, an armed conflict between Chile and the allies Bolivia and Peru (1879-1884). He rose to power by designation of the constituent assembly in 1882, a year after the Chilean occupation of Lima, until he was exiled to Spain in the Peruvian civil war of 1884-1885.
A high point of his political-military legacy is the "Grito de Montán", a manifesto in which he proclaimed the necessity of agreeing peace with Chile, even if this implied the cession of the southern provinces; the Treaty in Ancón or Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the republics of Chile and Peru, that put an end to the War of the Pacific and stabilized the post-war relations between them, where Peru ceded territory to Chile; and the Peruvian Civil War, between the Iglesias faction and that of the military leader Andrés Avelino Cáceres. The end of that war meant the exile of Iglesias to the south of Spain, where he moved with his descendants and his important art collection.
He returned to his native country when he was elected senator for Cajamarca and died in Lima in 1909. His remains, which had been buried in a mausoleum in Lima's Presbítero Maestro Cemetery, were moved to the Crypt of the Heroes in 2011, within the same cemetery.
Despite his return to Peru, his descendants continued to reside in Andalusia. There, his art collection has been preserved and has remained in the family, generation after generation, until the present day. Several lots from this collection are featured in the auction, from 92 to 106.
Provenance:
- Miguel Iglesias collection, military officer and president of Peru (1882 - 1885). Ayacucho Estate. Peru.
- From the end of the 19th century the descendants and the collection moved and settled in the south of Spain until the present day.
