Title: Crowned Madonna & Child, an original oil painting from the 1930s in Peru, in the Cuzco School style, sold with frame.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Charming sacred art painting depicting the crowned Madonna and Child, created in the style of the renowned Cuzco School, a pictorial tradition that originated in the Andean region during the colonial period and is appreciated for its rich decoration and strong spiritual character.
The Virgin is shown frontally holding the Christ Child, both wearing royal crowns. The large mantle, opening in a characteristic triangular shape, is decorated with dense gilded floral motifs reminiscent of the brocade textiles typical of Cusco iconography. The gilding and ornamental details create a precious and luminous effect, making the work particularly striking despite its modest size.
This type of painting was intended for private devotion, often placed on small domestic altars or in prayer rooms. Even today it retains a strong symbolic and decorative value, capable of adding character and depth to any interior.
