Description
//
On cutout of 16th-century antiphonary, measuring 181x170 mm, on verso seven lines of text. On blue background, within a large capital letter O in green and purple, with white friezes. God the Father holding the Crucified Son, the Dove of the Holy Spirit between them, on the sides two winged angels painted in liquid gold, the corners and haloes were made in burnished gold leaf. The painting is typical of the Spanish Forger, a painter and illuminator active in Paris from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century. He takes his misleading name, the Spanish Forger, from a false attribution of a painting once thought to be by a 15th-century Spanish artist. The name has stuck. Despite the growing evidence that the Forger supervised an atelier in Paris (remnants of old Parisian newspapers have been found inside the frames), no trace of his real identity has come to light. Unmasked in 1930 by Belle da Costa Green, then director of the Pierpont Morgan Library, where a retrospective exhibition was held in 1978. The miniature is painted on medieval parchment, a reused sheet from an Italian (or perhaps Spanish) choirbook dated c.1500, which demonstrates the Forger's methods. This scene, which depicts God the Father supporting the arms of the Cross on which Christ is crucified was a popular one in the Middle Ages. It is a splendid example of a "medieval forgery," however esteemed and sought after. Applied on purple velvet, in a beautiful mid-19th-century gilded frame. Voelckle, The Spanish Forger (1978).
