About the Item

Early 18th Century Spanish Colonial Oil on Canvas – The Descent from the Cross This large and moving Spanish Colonial oil on canvas, dating to the early 18th century, depicts the poignant biblical scene of the Descent from the Cross. Executed with the solemn expressiveness characteristic of the colonial workshops of Peru and New Spain, the work captures the moment of Christ being carefully lowered from the cross, surrounded by mourners and disciples. Measuring impressively, the painting is framed in a later period frame that enhances its devotional presence. The figures are rendered with pathos and intimacy: Christ’s serene countenance contrasts with the anguish of the Virgin, Mary Magdalene, and the faithful attendants. Subtle highlights in vermilion, deep green, and earthen tones recall both Iberian and indigenous artistic traditions, creating a rich fusion typical of the Spanish Colonial school. The surface reveals centuries of age, with areas of restoration and consolidation that testify to its long devotional life. The joins and reinforcements visible across the canvas are part of its survival history, lending the work a powerful aura of authenticity. Works of this scale and subject were often commissioned for convents, chapels, or private oratories, serving as both spiritual aids and symbols of prestige. Today, this canvas embodies not only the devotional fervor of its era but also the enduring artistry of colonial Latin America. A rare opportunity to acquire an authentic Spanish Colonial masterwork, imbued with both historical and spiritual gravitas. Canvas: 122cm W x 146cm H. Frame: 133cm W x 158cm H.
