A painting by Juan de Zurbáran for Sydney
14/7/24 - Acquisition - Sydney, Art Gallery of New South Wales - He had a famous father and a very short life, so Juan de Zurbáran fell into oblivion. Although he died of the plague at the age of 29, he painted a few still lifes, rarely signed, which were sometimes attributed to Francisco. It was the painting in the Khanenko Museum in Kiev, Still Life with Chocolate Service, that served as the starting point for a corpus, after the discovery of a signature in 1938. In 2009, Odile Delenda published the catalogue raisonné of Francisco de Zurbaran, in which she devoted a section to the works of his son Juan. Some fifteen paintings are now considered to be by his hand, thanks in particular to the work of William Jordan, Peter Cherry and Odile Delenda.
