L'Immaculée - XL is an 18th‑century oil painting from Peru, measuring 151.5 × 92 cm and sold with a frame.
Description from the seller
- Oil and applications of golden pigments on canvas. Original canvas lined and re-lined.
- This Peruvian Immaculate Conception from the mid-18th century is a fascinating testimony of Andean Baroque, where celestial hierarchy is translated into a language of archaic frontal presentation and a serene beauty that emanates from cultural syncretism. The Virgin, with dark hair and rich garments of rhythmically folded drapery almost stone-like, floats over a crescent moon guarded by cherubs with indigenous features, whose ingenuous gaze yet charged with a deep spiritual truth reveals the hand of the artists of the Altiplano. In this piece, the gold of the background —evoking both Christian glory and Incan solar worship— and the mystical disproportion of the central figure with respect to the cottony clouds emphasize a popular devotion that does not seek European anatomical perfection, but rather the creation of a protective and intimate icon. It is a work where the sobriety of the dark mantle contrasts with the golden light, achieving an aesthetic synthesis that turns the Doctrine of the Limpia Concepción into a celebration of mestizo identity and the unwavering faith of a land that knew how to reimagine the sacred.
- Image dimensions without frame: 136 x 78 cm / 151.5 x 92 cm with exclusive custom frame.
