About the Item
A monumental and captivating 18th-century Spanish Colonial oil on canvas depicting Saint Raphael the Archangel, rendered in grand scale with overall dimensions of 167 cm height by 116 cm width, including the frame. Likely originating from the Andean region—perhaps Peru or Bolivia—this work exemplifies the deeply devotional and richly symbolic style of colonial ecclesiastical art.
Saint Raphael stands in full regalia, portrayed with exquisite detail: feathered wings spread wide, a luminous halo around his serene face, and an elegant yet authoritative posture. He holds a pilgrim’s staff and a fish—traditional iconographic symbols referencing the Book of Tobit—while his other hand gestures in benediction. His sumptuous attire combines liturgical and courtly elements, featuring intricate lace, gilt detailing, and striking boots adorned with golden rosettes, all enhanced by the artist’s skilled use of color and composition.
The landscape background is softly executed with naturalistic trees and rocky formations, balancing the celestial figure in the foreground. This work is framed in a beautifully carved and gilded period frame, enhancing its devotional and decorative presence.
Paintings of this scale and iconographic clarity were typically commissioned for important churches or private chapels, making this piece not only a sacred image but also a rare historical artifact. It retains a strong devotional impact and would be a centerpiece in any serious collection of colonial Latin American art.
A majestic and spiritually resonant representation of Saint Raphael, rare in size and preservation.
