École du Cusco (XX) - La Mamacha de la Leche

- Oil and gold pigments on canvas. Original canvas.

- Cusqueña painting represents an exquisite unique syncretic synthesis in Viceroyal art, a visual phenomenon that crystallized the deep Andean spirituality with the zeal of Catholicism brought by the Europeans. Originating in Cuzco during the colony, this school is distinguished by its Saints and Madonnas who wear luxurious garments modeled with the gilded brocade technique (the estofado), a reflection of the earth’s gold. These figures, with their hieratic faces and devout gestures, do not inhabit only Christian skies, but integrate with elements of Peruvian nature: their frames and backgrounds are populated by exotic birds and vibrant flowers of the Amazon jungle, testing the devotion of a people who distribute their prayers between the immensity of the unfathomable Apus’ snowy heights and the revered personalities of Catholicism. This art, endowed with vibrant autonomy, transforms European formulas into a painting language that is a genuine heritage of Andean cultural identity.

- Image dimensions without frame: 30 x 40 cm / 38 x 48 cm with exclusive custom frame.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation internationally.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that every piece arrives safely at its destination in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping costs shown in the listing are indicative and subject to change depending on various circumstances, including variations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs.

Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring the artwork reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or the seller, so it is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be exhibited immediately on your wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will not be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.
