Description
Large colonial oil painting of Cuzco – 17th century – early 18th century Oil on canvas. Dimensions 122 x 83 / 132 x 93 cm. A devotional portrait of a saintly bishop or Doctor of the Church seated in his study, with a quill and inkwell, gazing towards a celestial vision that bursts forth from the top of the painting. The figure wears a rich cope decorated with floral motifs and is surrounded by books, elements that allude to his wisdom and doctrinal work. The work combines hieratic frontality, meticulous ornamentation and vibrant colour, characteristic features of late 17th-century colonial painting, where iconographic solemnity is combined with a refined decorative intent.
