Virgin and Child of Cuzco | Peru | 18th century

This magnificent representation of the Virgin and Child comes from the Cuzco school, a famous Peruvian colonial artistic current which harmoniously merges European influences and Andean traditions. The richness of the details, the delicacy of the faces, and the finely decorated clothes testify to the refinement and the deep spirituality which characterize this artistic period.

The Virgin is here represented as a celestial queen, dressed in sumptuous clothes embroidered with gold and holding the child Jesus with gentleness and majesty. The golden frame, worked with care, further sublimates this painting, by making a remarkable play for any collector passionate about antiquities and sacred works. This work will not fail to bring a touch of spiritual elegance to your interior, while evoking the fascinating history of the cultural and artistic interbreeding of colonial Latin America.
