专家说明

These two paintings originally formed part of a series of thirty-eight representations of the martyrs of the missionary Order of the Mercedarians, only twenty-four of which have been located (for a description of the series see O. Delenda, op. cit., pp. 450-58). The paintings were made for the lower cloister of the Order's monastery in Seville, and although there is no record of their arrangement, they were presumably grouped to form a tabernacle. They were removed to the Alcázar palace in 1810 and were dispersed sometime thereafter. Sixteen of the paintings, these two among them, entered the collection of Louis-Philippe, and between 1838 and 1848 were hung in the Galerie Espagnole.
