Abstract
We study a series made up of eight flemish paintings that is kept in the monastery of the Comendadoras of Santiago in Madrid. Are signed around 1665, and constitute a complete cycle on the Life of the Virgin. They were painted by and are owed to five artists of the environment entourage of Rubens (1577-1640). Two of the painters that intervened in the series whose signatures had not still been decoded; and we do not forget of putting in relationship to relate each of the eight pieces with the well-known production of its framers. Likewise, with the owed documentary support, reveal the identity of the donor of these paintings to the monastery, Ms. Estefanía de Venegas (+ 1738), countess of Val del Águila and professed nun in it. Furthermore, the study of the group allows to confirm, once again, the repetition of certain Rubens` models by artists of its circle; models that so much fortune would reach in the Baroque paintings of our country.Downloads
