1573 - Virgin and Child with angels crowning her. Colonial School of New Granada - 18th Century.

Virgin and Child with angels crowning her. Colonial School of New Granada - 18th Century. Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 62 cm x 57 cm (74 cm x 80 cm). The Virgin Mary, in the center, holds the Christ Child and is crowned by angels in a celestial setting of clouds and cherubs. At her feet, human figures implore, and an angel offers her a basket, while flames of hell are suggested in the lower left, underscoring the Virgin's intercessory role. The soft colors and rounded forms reveal a late Baroque influence, with elements characteristic of viceregal art in New Spain. The spiritual drama, symmetrical order, and profusion of angels reinforce its devotional function. The execution, though simple in its execution, is expressive and effective, maintaining the focus on the exaltation of the Marian figure as Queen of Heaven. A sacred work, imbued with theological and emotional values. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions.
