Description
Saint Teresa as a Doctor of the Church. New Spain School, 18th century. Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 79 cm x 60 cm and 84 cm x 65 cm (framed). A solemn depiction of Saint Teresa of Ávila as a Doctor of the Church, shown in a half-length portrait and dressed in the Carmelite habit. The saint holds a banner and an architectural model, symbols of her spiritual authority and the foundation of the reform movement. Her face, with its serene expression and direct gaze, is illuminated by a radiant halo that emphasises her sanctity. The meticulous rendering of the drapery and the rich colours reveal careful and refined execution. The work belongs to the 18th-century New Spanish painting tradition, characterised by iconographic clarity, symbolic emphasis and a strong devotional quality, making it an image of great visual and spiritual impact.
