About the Item

Rare 18th-Century Mexican Spanish Colonial Oil Painting "The Mystical Lactation of Saint Cajetan" This remarkable 18th-century Mexican Spanish Colonial oil on canvas presents a rare and deeply symbolic depiction of Saint Cajetan's mystical lactation - an uncommon iconography in which the saint receives milk from the Virgin Mary and the blood of Christ, signifying divine nourishment and spiritual devotion. The composition is filled with baroque religious symbolism, featuring Saint Cajetan kneeling in an intense mystical experience. Above him, God the Father, Christ, and the Holy Spirit appear in celestial glory, reinforcing his connection to divine grace. A richly detailed table with religious objects, including a crucifix and sacred texts, adds to the solemnity of the scene, while a striking celestial arc frames the vision. The painting is housed in a later carved wooden frame. The colors remain strong, with rich pigmentation and expressive detail, characteristic of Spanish Colonial religious art. The contrast between deep reds, golden tones, and somber blacks highlights the dramatic intensity of the composition. This is an exceptional museum-quality piece, reflecting the fervent Catholic spirituality of 18th-century colonial Mexico. An extremely rare subject, it is a valuable addition to any collection of Spanish Colonial art. Canvas: 92,5cm H x 73cm W. Frame: 99,5cm H x 80cm W.
