CATALOGUE NOTE This beautiful still life by Arellano is datable to circa 1668and can be compared to another work by the artist, signed and datedin that year, in a private collection, Madrid (see A.E. PérezSánchez, Juan de Arellano 1614-1676, exhibition catalogue, Madrid1998, cat. no. 36, reproduced). Arellano was unsurpassed as a painter of floral still lifes inseventeeth century Spain. Though he started as a figure painter,his enormous talent became evident after he focused his energies onflower painting. He was influenced by the works of Daniel Seghersand, later, by the Italian painter Mario Nuzzi who, according toArellano's biographer Antonio Palomino, he greatly admired. We are grateful to Dr. William B. Jordan for confirming theattribution and dating of this painting, on the basis ofphotographs.

CATALOGUE NOTE
We are grateful to Dr. William B. Jordan for confirming the attribution to Arellano, based on photographs. He believes it to be a late work by the artist. Juan de Arellano is considered the leading flower painter working in Spain during the 17th century. In Madrid he briefly joined the studio of Juan de Solis in circa 1630, but soon decided to concentrate on still life painting rather than figurative compositions, as was noted by his biographer, Antonio Palomino. Not only did he work much more quickly and easily in this genre, but he was also much better rewarded for his work. He set up his studio in Madrid in the Puerta del Sol and was largely self-taught, though he was obviously influenced by the work of Flemish still life painters, such as Daniel Seghers, and the Italian artist, Mario Nuzzi.

Juan de Arellano (Santorcaz 1614-1676 Madrid) A tulip, carnations, roses, irises, bluebells and other flowers in a glass vase on a ledge oil on canvas 9 1/8 x 9 1/8 in. (23.2 x 23.2 cm.) Lot Notes The leading flower painter in seventeenth century Spain, Juan de Arellano actually trained as a figurative painter in the studio of Juan de Solís in Madrid, not taking up still-life painting until his thirties. He did so having been inspired by the work of the leading Flemish and Italian flower painters that became popular in Madrid in the middle of the century; in particular Mario Nuzzi, whose work we know Arellano admired and copied, and Daniel Seghers.
