Description from the seller
XX Cent Cuzco Peru School
Archangel Raphael with long-shafted Axe
The painting is oil on canvas with size 42 x 31 cm
This painting was likely part of a devotional series or a domestic or church altarpiece. These types of images had an important catechetical and emotional function in the colonial world, helping to connect with the religion and promote piety among the faithful.
It is a representation of an archangel, the Archangel Raphael, one of the most common figures in this type of colonial religious art.
The distinctive ornamental attire is also notable, with gold appliqués, and embroidered details typical of the iconography of arquebus-wielding angels and archangels in South American viceregal art.
