Miniature on metal sheet representing the entrance of a prin - Lot 81
Miniature on metal sheet representing the entrance of a princess in a fortified city (wear and missing enamel). Attributed to the Spanish Forger 13.5 x 9.5 cm Provenance: Estate of Mr D. A Parisian apartment. Not yet identified, also known in English as The Spanish Forger thanks to several miniatures and paintings in a style initially analyzed as pseudo-Spanish, in fact he made rather imitations of French medieval art. He was probably active in Paris at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. This point could be established by the study of his pigments, and by the study of his sources of inspiration to realize his forgeries. Art historians have realized that this character knew themes and works through books on medieval art published mainly in Paris. Like any forger, he did not escape his time, and his style is identifiable. In New York, the Pierpont Morgan Library devoted an exhibition to him in 1978.
