The Assumption of Mary or Dormition of the Virgin 18th Century Spanish Colonial

About the Item

This magnificent 18th-century Spanish Colonial oil painting is a remarkable example of religious art, showcasing a stunning depiction of the Dormition of the Virgin. Measuring grandly, this artwork commands attention with its vivid storytelling and intricate composition. At its center, the Virgin Mary is represented in heavenly glory, surrounded by cherubic angels bearing garlands and celestial light, emphasizing her assumption into heaven. Below, the apostles gather solemnly around her earthly form, their expressions a blend of reverence and sorrow, capturing the moment of divine transition with profound emotion. The piece exhibits the hallmarks of Spanish Colonial artistry, including rich color tones, a balanced composition, and an engaging interplay of light and shadow. The figures, though stylized, are imbued with lifelike emotion, drawing viewers into the sacred narrative. The clouds and cherubs create a sense of depth, elevating the composition with dynamic movement. Framed in an ornate, carved wooden frame with gilded accents, this painting not only tells a spiritual story but also serves as a testament to the cultural and artistic heritage of the colonial period. Its size and detail make it ideal for a chapel, a collector’s centerpiece, or a museum display. A true treasure, this work captures the spiritual fervor and artistic excellence of its time, making it a rare and valuable acquisition for any connoisseur of Spanish Colonial art.
