About the Item

Archangel with an arquebusier, Andean Viceregal School, 18th Century Oil on canvas depicting an archangel with an arquebusier, a characteristic figure of viceregal painting in the Andean region (Peru or Bolivia) during the 18th century. The angel appears full-length, with outstretched wings, dressed in a luxurious suit embroidered with golden floral motifs, a plumed hat, and a sword, modeled after the series of "arquebusier angels" developed in Upper Peru as a symbol of the celestial and military power of faith. The painting displays the characteristics of Cuzco and Potosí painting: the use of dark backgrounds, rich textile ornamentation, and a hierarchy in the depiction of figures, with a frontal and solemn style. The gilded frame, of later design, enhances its monumentality and makes it a piece of great decorative power. This type of image, a blend of European iconography and American tradition, is highly prized today by colonial art collectors as well as specialized museums and antique dealers. 109cm x 79cm with frame 127cm x 96.5cm good condition
