San Isidoro Isidro Labrador 19th Century Spanish Colonial Cusco School

About the Item

Presenting a rare and captivating Peruvian Cusco School painting from the mid 19th century, depicting the beloved figure of San Isidoro, the patron saint of farmers and laborers. This exquisite oil on canvas is a quintessential example of the Cusco School, renowned for its vibrant fusion of indigenous and European artistic traditions. San Isidoro is portrayed in this painting as a majestic, towering figure, dressed in elaborate golden robes, holding a shepherd's staff, and surrounded by scenes of agrarian life. The composition radiates with vivid colors and intricate detailing, hallmarks of the Cusco School's distinctive style. The saint is shown overseeing a landscape filled with farmers, oxen, and lush fields, symbolizing his protection over agricultural workers and his divine blessing of the land. The background features a colonial town, with its characteristic architecture, adding to the cultural depth and historical significance of the artwork. The detailed rendering of the figures and the use of gold leaf highlights demonstrate the technical prowess and aesthetic sensibility of the Cusco School artists, who were deeply influenced by both Spanish baroque art and local Andean traditions. The painting is enclosed in an ornately carved wooden frame that enhances its visual appeal and historical authenticity. The frame, with its intricate carvings, mirrors the baroque influence present in the painting, making it a perfect complement to the artwork. This painting is not just a religious icon but also a cultural treasure, embodying the syncretic art form that emerged during the colonial era in Latin America. It is an ideal acquisition for collectors of religious art, Latin American art, or colonial-era artifacts. **Dimensions:** - Painting: 71cm H x 57cm. - Frame: 78cm H x 63cm. **Condition:** The painting is in good antique condition, with some wear consistent with its age, including minor craquelure and surface marks, which contribute to its authentic antique charm.
