Juan Ribalta (1596 - 1628) "Saint Martin sharing his cloak with the beggar"
Oil on canvas of large dimensions. With period frame in carved and gilded wood.
Size: 281 x 183 cm
Provenance:
Written sources speak about the s. Martin painted by Juan Ribalta for the Valldecrist Carthusian Monastery (Altura, Castell?), founded by King Martin the Humane at the end of the 14th century. This altar painting, destined for the monastery, was made in honor of the monarch. The painting was lost during the disentailment of the religious building in the 19th century. There are earlier sources that identify the work, such as the manuscript by Fray Joaqu?n Vivas on the "Foundation of the Royal Charterhouse of Val de Cristo", and in turn by Jos? Mar?a P?rez in an article "Painters and paintings in the Royal Monastery of the Charterhouse of Valdecristo" of 1936.
Acquired by a private collection in Granada.
