About the Item

This late 17th-century oil on canvas from Peru, depicting the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus, is a striking example of Spanish Colonial art. The work reflects the deep religiosity and devotional focus characteristic of the period. The Virgin Mary, shown in a serene, meditative pose, gently holds the Christ child in her arms. Her head is tilted slightly downward in a gesture of maternal care and reverence. Baby Jesus, appearing older than typical infant depictions, gazes directly at the viewer with large, expressive eyes, symbolizing his divinity and wisdom even at a young age. The color palette of the figures contrasts with the rich tones of the flowers and ornate details that frame the background. Delicate roses and blossoms, stylized in a typical Andean manner, surround the figures, offering a sense of sacred beauty. The ornate gilded frame, heavily adorned with intricate carvings and floral motifs, enhances the sacred aura of the painting and is typical of Spanish Colonial art, which often combined European Baroque elements with local craftsmanship. This canvas not only serves as a devotional image but also reflects the cultural syncretism of the time, blending Catholic iconography with local artistic traditions. The overall effect is one of reverence, with the painting designed to inspire both awe and piety in its viewers. Its condition, while bearing the patina of time, retains much of its original vibrancy and charm, making it a valuable piece of historical and artistic significance.
