Description

Novo-Hispanic school; second half of the 18th century. "Jesus and the Canaanite woman". Oil on copper. It presents slight faults. Measurements: 30 x 42 cm; 37 x 49 cm (frame). This work represents one of the miracles of Jesus and is narrated in the Gospel of Mark in chapter 7 (Mark 7:24-30) and in the Gospel of Matthew in chapter 15 (Matthew 15:21-28). In Matthew, the story is told as the healing of the daughter of a Canaanite woman. According to both accounts, Jesus exorcised the woman's daughter while traveling in the region of Tyre and Sidon, because of the faith shown by the woman. The relevant passage in Matthew 15:22-28 reads: A Canaanite woman from that region came to Jesus crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and is suffering terribly!".Jesus did not answer a word. Then his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us. "He replied, "I have been sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me," she said. He answered her, "It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." "Yes, Lord," she said. "But even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table." Then Jesus said to her, "Woman, you have great faith! Your daughter is healed." And her daughter was healed from that very hour. 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. It presents minor faults.
