Cuzco (Cusco) School - Ángel Arcabucero (Angel with Arquebus)
Located in Stockholm, SE
Cuzco (Cusco) School, 19th century, Peru
Ángel Arcabucero (Angel with Arquebus)
oil on canvas
unframed 58 × 41 cm (22.8 × 16.1 in)
framed 66 × 49 cm (26.0 × 19.3 in)
No signature
Provenance:
Acquired in Peru in 1986 by the previous owner.
Essay:
This painting portrays a celestial figure identified as an ángel arcabucero – literally an “arquebus-bearing angel,” shown as an archangel wielding an early firearm (arquebus) instead of the traditional sword. The angel is richly attired in the fashion of an Andean noble or Spanish aristocrat, with an ornate embroidered coat, lace collar, and billowing sleeves, in keeping with the distinctive iconography of these militaristic angels. Such ángeles arcabuceros emerged in the late 17th century in colonial Peru and were especially popular in Cuzco School painting, replacing the sword of Catholic warrior-angels with a gun to signify the heavenly army’s power in a modern guise. The graceful figure, dressed as a nobleman yet serving a divine role, underscores the fusion of earthly authority and celestial protection – a sartorial and symbolic innovation unique to the Andean region’s religious art. This iconography, found only in Spanish colonial territories, resonated with local believers and visually confirmed the angel’s identity as a heavenly soldier guarding the faithful, his delicate hands cradling a long-barreled arquebus as if it were a sacred instrument.
The Ángel Arcabucero exemplifies the visual hallmarks of the Cuzco School, a major Peruvian painting...

Flodlandskap i Månsken (River Landscape in Moonlight), 1866
Located in Stockholm, SE
Flodlandskap i Månsken (“River Landscape in Moonlight”) is an evocative landscape depicting the ruins of a medieval castle on a forested island, rendered with remarkable sensitivity to light and atmosphere. The composition centres on the dramatic silhouette of a crumbling fortress, possibly inspired by Kronoberg Castle or Stegeborg Castle, rising above a quiet stretch of water at dusk. In the foreground, a man holding a burning torch has just stepped aboard a small wooden boat. The warm, flickering firelight illuminates the rocky shoreline and creates a vivid contrast with the cool, ethereal glow of the moonlit sky and river.
Roselli orchestrates a sophisticated interplay between two distinct light sources: the warm blaze of the torch and the soft radiance of the full moon. The torchlight casts amber reflections across the stones, boat, and figure, pulling the viewer into the immediate drama of the scene. In contrast, the moonlight suffuses the landscape with a calm, silvery luminosity, outlining the ruined walls and drifting clouds. This dual lighting creates a striking depth and atmosphere, demonstrating Roselli’s exceptional command of nocturnal effects.
The Artist
Frans Johan Roselli was a Swedish landscape painter active during the height of Romanticism in the mid-19th century. Born in Småland in 1833, he began his artistic training early and later studied under Marcus Larson...

Figurative Paintings for Sale
Figurative art, as opposed to abstract art, retains features from the observable world in its representational depictions of subject matter. Most commonly, figurative paintings reference and explore the human body, but they can also include landscapes, architecture, plants and animals — all portrayed with realism.
While the oldest figurative art dates back tens of thousands of years to cave wall paintings, figurative works made from observation became especially prominent in the early Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance masters created naturalistic representations of their subjects.
Pablo Picasso is lauded for laying the foundation for modern figurative art in the 1920s. Although abstracted, this work held a strong connection to representing people and other subjects. Other famous figurative artists include Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Figurative art in the 20th century would span such diverse genres as Expressionism, Pop art and Surrealism.
Today, a number of figural artists — such as Sedrick Huckaby, Daisy Patton and Eileen Cooper — are making art that uses the human body as its subject.
Because figurative art represents subjects from the real world, natural colors are common in these paintings. A piece of figurative art can be an exciting starting point for setting a tone and creating a color palette in a room.
