Novo-Hispanic school; second half of the XVIII century. "Virgin of La Merced". Oil on canvas. Measurements: 62 x 45 cm; 79 x 63 cm (frame). Devotional image of the Virgin of Mercy, accompanied by two saints praying at her feet. The Virgin is represented seated on a pedestal of clouds, accompanied by several child angels, on her knees also standing can be seen Jesus Child. The Virgin of Mercy is a Marian invocation of the Virgin Mary, whose devotion has its origin in Catalonia. The Order of Mercy was founded around her, initiated by St. Peter Nolasco at the beginning of the 13th century. It was precisely the Mercedarian monks who spread her cult throughout Spain, France and Italy from that date onwards. The iconography for the representations of the Virgin of Mercy acquires its definitive form in the 16th century, and consists of the Mercedarian habit with tunic, scapular and cape, all in white, with the Mercedarian coat of arms on the chest. She usually appears with a queen's crown, and also with the scepter in her right hand. It is worth mentioning that, during the Spanish colonial domination, a mainly religious painting was developed, aimed at Christianizing the indigenous peoples. The local painters were modeled on Spanish works, which they followed literally in terms of types and iconography. The most frequent models were the harquebusier angels and the triangular virgins, however, it was not until the first years of the 19th century, already in times of independence and political opening of some of the colonies, that several artists began to represent a new model of painting with its own identity.
