Apostolado paintings in El Greco Museum, Toledo

An apostolado (from Spanish; lit. 'apostolate'), or apostles series,[1] is a series of individual portrait paintings of the apostles of Jesus Christ, sometimes including other figures, such as Jesus, Luke, Mary, and/or Paul.[2][3][4][5] The first potential example of an apostolado stems from a pair of portraits of the apostles James the Elder and Philip by Albrecht Dürer in 1516, which he may have intended as a full series of twelve.[6][7] In Spain, apostolados are a prevalent genre of art of the apostles,[8] being popularized by Greco-Spanish painter El Greco[9] and leading to other renowned artists of the genre such as Francisco de Zurbarán,[10] Peter Paul Rubens,[11] and Anthony van Dyck.[12] Images of saints, and therefore the apostles, became popular in Catholic Europe during the Renaissance as a result of the Counter-Reformation, which in turn derived from a heavy emphasis of the Catholic doctrine of intercession of saints and opposition to Protestant iconoclasm.[13][14]

Apostolados

[edit]

Although the concept of the apostles in the context of Christianity generally refers to the first twelve apostles of Jesus Christ as enumerated in the Gospels[15][16] (Judas Iscariot being replaced by Matthias due to his treachery),[17] some apostolados contain portraits of other important figures in Christianity, such as Jesus, Paul, Mary, and/or Luke.[2][3][4][5]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Dürer's two paintings were "perhaps the first separate, single paintings intended to be 'portraits' of the apostles." In addition, two other unknown apostles' portraits are mentioned.[6]
  2. ^ Only eight paintings were made by El Greco and his workshop in the parish church of Almadrones, Guadalajara Province. At first it was believed that a ninth portrait, that of John, was also a part of the series, however this was later proven false.[19]
  3. ^ The series was painted by Rubens around 1612 for a commission by Francisco de Sandoval y Rojas, 1st Duke of Lerma. The series originally included Jesus and Paul, but not Matthias. The painting of Jesus has since been lost.[37]
  4. ^ The series receives its name from Julius Böhler, a German art dealer who acquired the series around 1914. Originally composed of 13 pieces, they were later scattered after the subsequent sales of Böhler.[38][39]
  5. ^ According to art historian Otto Benesch, Rembrandt created an unfinished and loosely-conceived series of the apostles, evangelists, Mary, and Jesus during 1661, of which seven were identified.[61] However, F. Grossman of The Burlington Magazine wrote that it was "rather doubtful whether these paintings were conceived as a complete set".[62]
