Mary Queen of Heaven - Early 17th Century Spanish Colonial oil on canvas

About the Item

This exquisite early 18th-century Spanish Colonial oil painting, originating from Bolivia, portrays “Mary, Queen of Heaven.” With meticulous craftsmanship, it illustrates the Coronation of the Virgin Mary, a significant theme in Catholic iconography. The central figure of Mary, seated gracefully, is adorned with flowing robes enriched by delicate detailing, representing purity and divinity. She is crowned by Christ on one side, depicted with muscular definition and a red robe, and God the Father on the other, embodying wisdom and authority with flowing garments and an austere expression. Mary rests on a crescent moon supported by cherubic faces, emphasizing her role as the Immaculate Conception and Queen of Heaven. The composition is surrounded by an ethereal golden glow, evoking divine presence. The carved wooden frame, with its intricate floral motifs, adds depth and elegance, complementing the painting’s devotional purpose. This painting showcases the synthesis of European artistic traditions and indigenous craftsmanship prevalent in Spanish Colonial art. Its nuanced palette, delicate highlights, and devotional tone make it a captivating piece of religious heritage. This rare artwork offers a profound connection to colonial Bolivian artistry, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of sacred art. Its exceptional historical and cultural value makes it a centerpiece for any collection. Framed size: 101cm H x 77,2cm W. Canvas size: 83cm H x 59 cm W.
