About the Item
18th-Century Peruvian Spanish Colonial Oil on Canvas - Saint Christopher
This 18th-century Spanish Colonial oil on canvas, depicting Saint Christopher carrying the Christ Child, is a striking example of Peruvian Cusco School religious art. With its bold composition, expressive figures, and rich color palette, this piece embodies the grandeur of colonial-era ecclesiastical painting.
Saint Christopher is portrayed with a powerful, muscular form, striding across a river while gripping his staff, symbolizing his strength and faith. The Christ Child, seated on the saint's shoulder, radiates divine presence with a soft golden aureole, raising his hand in blessing. The painting's dramatic drapery, particularly the flowing red cloak, adds movement and depth, while the dark, moody background enhances the figures' sacred presence - a hallmark of Cusco School religious art.
The painting retains its original 18th-century canvas, measuring 91 cm x 64 cm (35.8 in x 25.2in ), and is housed in an ornately carved Spanish Colonial frame, measuring 105 cm x 78 cm (41.3"x 30.7"). The frame, with its rich foliate design, complements the painting's devotional significance.
This piece has undergone old restorations, with visible areas of repair and reinforcement, particularly in the upper section and along the canvas surface, where age-related craquelure, wear, and undulations are evident. These restorations, while maintaining the painting's integrity, are consistent with its historical age and devotional use.
Despite these repairs, the painting remains a powerful and evocative artifact, making it an ideal acquisition for collectors of Spanish Colonial art, sacred iconography, and Peruvian Baroque masterpieces.
