Saint Mary Magdalene - Spanish Colonial - 18th Century

About the Item

An exquisite Spanish Colonial oil painting from the 18th century, depicting Saint Mary Magdalene in a richly detailed composition. This piece showcases the characteristic Cuzco School style, with an emphasis on intricate ornamentation, delicate facial features, and luminous colors. The saint, adorned in an opulent red robe with gold accents, is portrayed in a moment of devotion, with an attendant angel gently guiding her. The background features a finely rendered architectural setting, possibly symbolizing contemplation or penitence, a common theme in colonial religious art. The painting retains its original patina, with visible craquelure that attests to its age and authenticity. Housed in a simple vintage wooden frame, this rare devotional piece is a testament to the artistic legacy of the Spanish Viceroyalties, blending European influences with indigenous craftsmanship. It remains in good antique condition, with expected wear for its age but retaining strong color vibrancy and structural integrity. Perfect for collectors of Spanish Colonial religious art, this museum-quality painting would be a magnificent addition to any historical, ecclesiastical, or fine art collection.
