About the Item

A rare and evocative example of Spanish Colonial art from the Cusco School, this 17th-century oil on wood panel captures the iconic biblical scene of Saint George slaying the dragon. Painted in Cusco, Peru, circa 1650, this composition is rich with symbolic detail and Andean stylistic influence, reflecting the syncretism of Catholic iconography and indigenous artistic traditions during the colonial period. Saint George is portrayed in full heroic posture, garbed in lavish attire with delicate plumes and wings, standing triumphant over a horned dragon engulfed in stylized flames. The ethereal background of swirling clouds and soft golden light intensifies the spiritual significance of the scene. The figure bears a banner inscribed with religious script, while the painting's primitive yet compelling brushwork reflects the distinctly regional aesthetic developed by native artists trained under European missionary influence. Housed in an exquisite 19th-century carved giltwood frame adorned with deeply sculpted foliate motifs, the overall presentation is both dramatic and reverent. The gilding retains a warm, aged patina that beautifully complements the dark tones of the panel. A museum-worthy devotional artwork and a quintessential representation of the Cusco School's enduring legacy in Latin American colonial art.

Mid-18th Century Indian Court Painting of Krishna and Radha, Gouache with Gold

Located in Middleburg, VA

A superbly detailed mid-18th-century Indian miniature court painting, executed in gouache heightened with gold on handmade paper.

The composition is rich in symbolism, narrative depth, and emotional subtlety, hallmarks of classical Rajput painting. The figures are adorned with traditional garments, rendered in delicate pastel tones with intricate patterns and gilt accents. The architectural elements, marble pavilions, domes, carved screens, and floral gardens, are meticulously executed, offering a vivid impression of royal leisure and divine romance. Set against a tree-lined courtyard with peacocks and floral motifs, the visual rhythm is both vibrant and harmonious.
