Cuzco School Oil Painting of the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus
About the Item
We present you with this oil-on-canvas painting from the end of 18th century representing the Virgin Mary holding little baby Jesus in her arms.
The painting follows the style of the Cuzco School (Escuela cuzqueña) - a Roman Catholic artistic tradition based in the former capital of the Inca Empire, Cuzco Peru during the Colonial period, in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. It was not limited to Cuzco only but spread to other cities in the Andes, as well as to present-day Ecuador and Bolivia.
The Cuzco style, thought to originate from Quechua painter Diego Quispe Tito, is known for its religious themes, absence of perspective, and vibrant colours, such as red, yellow, and earth tones, often accentuated with gold leaf. Influenced by Byzantine, Flemish, and Italian Renaissance art, Cuzco painters depicted dramatic, distorted images, often incorporating local flora and fauna. Warrior angels were a popular subject. Most works were created anonymously due to communal art traditions, though notable artists include Marcos Zapata, Diego Cusihuamán, Gregorio Gamarra, Basilio Santa Cruz Pumacallao, and Antonio Sinchi Roca Inka. The Master of Calamarca, active in Bolivia in the 18th century, is related to this school.

- Oil Painting in the Styles of Matisse and Bonnard, by Robert Delval (1934-)By Delval, Pierre Bonnard, Henri MatisseLocated in NICE, FRWe present you this charming piece, titled 'Nu et verdure fond rouge', which translates to 'nude and greenery on red background' in English. An oil painting on canvas, it is signed by the artist, Robert Delval (1934-) and dated 2008. The use of colours, perspective, depth, and form in this artwork demonstrates the influence of the artistic styles of Henri Matisse and Pierre Bonnard, which Robert Delval saw as artistic inspirations.
