About the Item
Provenance: Fernandez Jimenez, Spain; part a family collection for over 80 years.
Prints transported to the New World for use in missionary work and religious instruction often served as source images for artists in the Spanish Colonial world. The present depiction of the Virgin and Child with Angels Carrying the Cross can be associated with a 17th-century Flemish engraving of the Vision of the Cross (Fig. 1) made after a drawing by Maarten de Vos (1532–1603). The iconography of the Vision of the Cross was disseminated widely in Peru and across the Americas through paintings made after this print, of which ours is a particularly accomplished example.
The author of our painting brilliantly translates the essence of the engraving into the quintessential style of the Cuzco school. The composition is rendered with striking red hues and is punctuated throughout by gilt details executed in brocateado, an ornamental mordant gilding technique that is characteristic of Cuzco School paintings. Interestingly, the artist has reworked elements of the print, particularly the angel on the lower left, who is now clad in armor and has acquired the identity of the Archangel Michael, a figure beloved subject of the Cuzco painters and their patrons.

View AllYoung Christ Pricked by a Thorn (Niño de la Espina)
Located in New York, NY
Provenance: Private Collection, Paraguay, for at least the last 80 years
Painted in the Viceroyalty of Peru during the 18th century, the present work depicts the young Christ as the Niño de la Espina—a devotional representation of Christ as he looks down at his bleeding finger, which has been pricked by the crown of thorns resting on his lap. The subject of the Young Christ Pricked by a Thorn was especially popular in Cuzco, and the rich details and decorative elements of our work perfectly capture the essence and style of the Cuzco School of painting.
In our painting, Christ wears an intricately patterned floor-length robe trimmed with gilded cuffs and a gilded collar. The delicate gilding, including the halo of golden rays emanating from his head, are executed in brocateado, an ornamental over-gilding technique that is characteristic of the Cuzco School. The red chair on which Christ sits also includes brocateado in the decorative gilt elements. The form of the chair takes inspiration from those commonly used by friars both in Spain and the Andes, known as silla frailera or sillon frailero, and was also frequently employed in related depictions of the Virgin Mary Spinning. Here the young Christ is rendered with soft, elongated features that reflect the influence of the Italian Mannerist painters who were pivotal to the formation of the Cuzco School, including the Jesuit friar Bernardo Bitti and Matteo Pérez del Alesio. Additionally, while its origins can be traced to Northern European pictorial traditions, the lush flower garland that frames the work is a signature feature of Cuzqueño painting...

The present work is a spectacular jewel-like canvas by Amigoni, rich in delicate pastel colors, most likely a modello for an altarpiece either lost or never painted. In it the Madonna stands firmly upon a cloud in the heavens, her Child resting on a delicate veil further supported by a cloud, as he gently wraps his arm around his mother’s neck. From above angels prepare to lower flowers and a wreath, while other angels and seraphim surrounding the two joyfully cavort.
