Description

Saint with guitar. Colonial School. 17th Century. Oil on canvas. Dimensions 78 x 58 cm. This work belongs to the viceregal period in the Americas, probably from an Andean workshop. The elegantly dressed female figure, adorned with rich brocade fabrics and gold ornaments, holds a guitar, an instrument with symbolic resonances alluding to both celestial harmony and spiritual joy. The composition combines Mannerist features with a naive naturalism characteristic of colonial painting, where colour and ornamentation take on a devotional prominence. The soft, enveloping light highlights the textile details and the saint's serene face. The scene is inscribed within the 17th-century Hispanic American pictorial tradition, characterized by its strong spiritual and ornamental nature.
