Nacido en el seno de una familia de artistas se matriculó en la Academia de San Fernando en 1777 y en 1779 empezó a trabajar en el estudio del arquitecto Juan de Villanueva. Entre 1791 y 1796 fue pensionado extraordinariamente por Carlos III para estudiar en Roma. Durante la ocupación francesa José I le confirmó como teniente de Villanueva en las obras reales pero a pesar de ello en diciembre de 1810 salió de la corte con su familia y se exilió en Palma donde permaneció hasta 1814. A su regreso a Madrid Fernando VII le nombró arquitecto mayor. Francisco Jordan 1778-1832 fue un grabador natural de Muro Alicante. Fue otro de los grandes grabadores de la época de la Ilustración. Al igual que Isidro Velázquez se exilió en Palma durante la invasión napoleónica 1808-1814 y a su regreso se retiró al Convento de Cartujos de Porta Coeli donde continuó trabajando hasta su muerte.

1853165812London: Printed by C. Paul 1853. Small octavo pp. 1-4 i-v vi-viii 1 2-38 6 inserted plates other illustrations in the text quarter diced brown calf and marbled boards with original cream pictorial wrappers printed in red bound in. Possible first British edition. Published earlier in the U.S. as MEMOIR OF AN EVENTFUL EXPEDITION INTO CENTRAL AMERICA . in several editions in 1850. There were several undated editions published in London priority not known. A completely fictitious narrative which can be considered a "lost race" novelette of an expedition commencing in 1849 into an unexplored region of Guatemala and the discovery of a lost Aztec city and its inhabitants supposedly descended from ancient Assyrians and the subsequent introduction of two of its Lilliputian members to the civilized world. Details of the journey are provided by the diary entries of Senor Pedro Velaquez of San Salvador described as "a man of family and education although a trader in indigo." The supposed "Memoir" was a hoax inspired by strong public interest in the trips to Central America by John L. Stephens "the American traveler" in 1839 and 1841. The two mixed blood "Aztec children" enslaved near San Miguel were exhibited at circus sideshows in America and Europe. See Sabin 98812 for a detailed note.

1815149<p><strong>c.1815 Oil on canvas gilt framed portrail of King Philip IV of Spain.</strong></p><p><strong>Attributed to Sir Thomas Lawrence crafted in the manner or style of Diego Velazquez the Court Painter.</strong></p><p>The painting was dated by an expert valuer to 1810-20 based on the frame the age of the paint and also by the particular weave of the canvas being of the type woven on the earliest canvas-making machine which was invented in 1805 in France and became used more widely from 1810 onwards.</p><p>The subject King Philip IV reigned from 1621-1665 having been born in 1605. He was called the Planet King Rey Planeta and reigned during the Thirty Years War while also being renowned as a patron of some of the earliest great Old Master artists such as Spaniard Diego Velazquez and also Peter Paul Rubens the famous Flemish artist.</p><p>The last three great Old Masters of the British painters were John Singer Sargent George Stubbs and Sir Thomas Lawrence. As masters themselves they studied the forms of the older masters and re-worked their themes often adding some detail of their own. It is hard to see the hands of either Stubbs or Sargent at work here but the deeply baroque style of Lawrence sits well with the colours used he loved his red he enjoyed the play of light upon a fleshy face in emulation of Rubens he had an expressed interest in the work of Diego Velazquez. He also worked in London where the frame was made which itself conforms in many ways to the style of frames used for Lawrence's other known artworks in the period 1815-25. In fact in 1815 the studio of Sir Thomas Lawrence purchased from Byfields of Soho some 24 feet and 6 inches of "oak leaf acorn and rope" patterned and gilded plaster to be used in frames itself being crafted by the specialist frame decorator George Jackson. It is likely our painting being dated between 1810-1820 that this frame was crafted from that block. We know also that Sir Thomas Lawrence also kept a stock of spare frames yet there is nothing of the random fit between the portrait of King Philip IV who reigned in the 17th Century at the time when the acorn and oak leaf style of frame was the height of fashion re-worked once again by Sir Thomas Lawrence in London. Most of his artworks were intelligently framed as he himself insisted upon. And he liked his frames not to have accentuation around them especially at the corners no decorations there to distract the eye. And this style of frame perfectly matches his standards as does the level of the art the subject of the artwork an old master's take on a grand European king of Habsburg lineage who are known from their pronounced jaws.</p><p>Condition: Very Good. The painting was formerly removed from the frame by a previous owner with new pins used to replace it back into the rear again so the original backing nails are gone and the grey paper lining to rear was necessarily split open in the process as can be seen. The rear of canvas has light felt pen writing which appears to pertain to a silly game played by a boy possibly in a warehouse or storehouse where the painting once sat for a time. There is also an accompanying light water stain at the rear of the canvas not appearing to have affected the painting itself. Undoubtedly it would benefit from being professionally cleaned although the surface retains its original lustre when seen in the light. Certainly at the top of the king's chest is a small point of damage which can be seen in photos which would need restoring to realise the fullest value. There are also two tiny nicks at the inner edge of the gilt frame one at inner base edge the other in line at the inner top edge neither of these affect the painting itself. The rear of the frame has some pen markings relating to a catalogue or location number there is a torn card which notes it is a portrait of King Philip IV of Spain that it was sold to Mr. the paper is torn off there and possibly at the bottom was attributed to "Velazquez" at the time as a natural mistake. In fact when I bought this painting I hoped that I had stumbled across a lost work by Diego Velazquez only a detective trail led to Sir Thomas Lawrence as the solution to the problem of its creation.</p><p>As to value this painting is not proven to be by Sir Thomas Lawrence. In a mainstream auction house restored and proven as being by Lawrence it would be an easy £500k half a million pounds worth. The historical value of Sir Thomas Lawrence having made such an emulation it is not a copy but a variant of the known works by Velazquez it is a fiction by its artist as to what would King Philip IV appear like when about 35 years old in the period in between the known works by Velazquez. It is also a fiction in seeming to present a fusion of the style of Velazquez blended with that of Rubens' illuminated fleshy face. It would be preposterous to suggest there was some other unknown artist at work in London in 1815 painting baroque style emulations of Old Master works by Velazquez and framing them exactly as Sir Thomas Lawrence did and using his colours of oils and favouring his subjects of artistic fascination. The King's head has no visible edge it is suggested and blurred by the artist precisely in the manner that Lawrence favoured. So with that said this is a confidently attributed artwork only and cannot be sold as the lost Old Master work by Sir Thomas Lawrence that it most certainly is according to all the evidence that can be seen and so at the upper end it has a current value of around £50000 as an early 19th Century oil painting of King Philip IV of Spain in a novel style but emulating or after that of Diego Velazquez.</p><p>Outer frame approx 27 x 32 inches.</p><p>Inner frame approx 19 x 24 inches.</p><p>More photos are available.</p> artist
