Novo-Hispanic school; XVIII century. "The mystical winepress". Oil on copper. It presents restorations on the pictorial surface. Measurements: 64 x 48 cm. The saints are Saint Francisco de Paula and Saint Domingo de Guzmán. In this image the artist divides the space in three differentiated zones, the inferior one dedicated to the body of the recumbent Christ, is completed with the presence of the papal attributes and by the representation of a sinful soul burning among flames located in the right zone of the composition. On this level an earthly space can be appreciated where St. Francis of Paola and St. Dominic of Guzman are located each one of them on one side of a great fountain whose reddish content reveals to be the blood of Christ. This strip ends with the presence of an Archangel who directs his gaze to the sky. The upper part is characterized by the presence of Christ dressed in red tunic in allusion to the Passion, holding the cross with one of his hands and next to him groups of cherubs hold the Veronica, the nails and the palm of martyrdom. The procession ends with the presence of the Virgin, a saint and several angels. From the hands of Christ and from his side flows the blood that supplies the central fountain of the scene, which serves as food for Christianity. This image is based on the iconographic representation of Christ in the winepress or the mystical winepress, a motif of Christian iconography that shows Christ standing in a winepress, where Christ himself becomes grapes in the winepress. It derives from Augustine's and other early theologians' interpretation of a group of Bible passages. The key biblical passage was Isaiah 63: 3, taken as spoken by Christ, says "I have trodden the winepress alone". The image in art underwent a series of changes in emphasis, while remaining fairly consistent in its basic visual content, and was one of the relatively few medieval metaphorical or allegorical devotional images that retained a foothold in Protestant iconography after the Reformation. The image was first used in 1108 as a typological foreshadowing of the crucifixion of Jesus. During the Spanish colonial domination, a mainly religious painting was developed in New Spain, aimed at Christianizing the indigenous peoples. The local painters had as a model the 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, in the first years of the 19th century, already in times of independence and political opening of some of the colonies, several artists began to represent a new model of painting with its own identity. It presents restorations on the pictorial surface.
