A LITTLE OF HISTORY.
It seems that one becomes opportune and advisable to add something of history for which is comprehensible like it is possible that we today are with so important discovery for history of art in general and of G. Braque in individual.
The pictures dated in 4 from August =1899= were ordered by one lady ancestor of the proprietor, this lady ordered two pictures (to Seville very probably) of apparent religious subject but that they are dedicated to his husband and his son, died in an epidemic. They were made in Spain, where one assumes that they adorned the walls of a familiar home during many years; in order to happen to occupy a place in a dark attic of where they were rescued by the descendants at the present time.
It was done by a young
Braque, 8 years before of cubism. At the summer of year that finalized its
studies of beautiful arts in l'Havre; at the age of 17 years. And months before
being transferred to Paris to begin like painter apprentice decorator.
It does not have to be strange to us, he is 7 months younger than Picasso and of this we know pictures from when he was 14 years old.
