Our Lady of Sorrows. Peruvian Viceroyalty School. 18th Century

Descriptio Oil on copper. Dimensions: 41 x 33 cm; framed: 61 x 50 cm. The image depicts Our Lady of Sorrows with a restrained expression of sadness, visible tears on her cheeks, and a delicate gesture of contemplation. The Virgin wears a dark blue mantle and a red tunic, traditional symbols of mourning and love, and holds a white handkerchief with the crown of thorns, a direct allusion to the Passion of Christ. The serene and centered composition emphasizes spirituality and devotion, reinforced by the radiant halo and stars surrounding her head. The meticulous technique, soft nuances, and Marian symbolism reveal a strong influence of viceregal painting from the Andean region, particularly from the Cusco and Lima circles of the 18th century, characterized by intense spirituality, iconographic frontality, and restrained expressiveness. A work of great devotional power and technical refinement within the Marian iconography of the American colonial period. Dimensions: 61 x 50 cm.
