Spanish Colonial Cuzco School 18th C. Oil on Canvas St. Joseph with Christ Child

About the Item

18th century oil on canvas, St. Joseph with Christ child. The unidentified artist who painted this bucolic scene, dominated by the figure of the sixteenth-century Portuguese monk Saint John of God holding the infant Christ, was part of a European-influenced painting tradition that first developed in the sixteenth century in Spanish colonial Cuzco, Peru. Eighteenth-century estate inventories in New Spain described these types of paintings as “landscapes inhabited by saints.” Although similar religious subjects hung in churches in colonial Peru, the prominence of landscape made this kind of painting equally desirable for private collectors. Frame: 34 1/2 x 27 1/2 inches Sight: 28 1/4 x 21 1/4 Provenance: From the estate of a Gentleman who collected the paintings from 1951-1952 while visiting Cusco, Peru.
