Arcangel Arcabucero, a 19th‑century oil on canvas from the Peruvian School, Peru, sold with a frame.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Interesting painting representing an arquebus-armed archangel, emblematic iconography of South American viceroyal art, especially developed in the Cusqueña School during the 17th and 18th centuries.
The figure stands upright, facing forward, bearing an arquebus and dressed in rich attire inspired by European court fashion, decorated with abundant ornamental motifs.
This type of representation combines Christian symbolic elements with influences from Spanish Baroque aesthetics, reinterpreted by local workshops.
The work stands out for its decorative character, the use of warm tones, and the application of gilded details on the textiles.
The treatment of the face, with idealized features, together with the hieratic composition and the absence of academic perspective, are common traits within this pictorial production.
This type of pieces tended to be part of devotional series of armed angels, highly valued in the colonial sphere.
