Escuela Cuzqueña (XIX-XX) - Santa mártir

Magnificent painting on canvas mounted to panel from the 19th century. This style developed during the Spanish colonial period in South America. In viceroyal Peruvian painting, the theme of saints is configured as one of the most characteristic of the Cusco School of painting. Thus, we find that the works depicting them develop this pictorial theme much more detail-oriented than in the European case; they also show great expressive richness and, in general, excellent execution. - Framed dimensions: 34x28 cm. - Painting dimensions: 24x18 cm. It is believed that the defining characteristics of the Cusco style originated in the art of the Quechua painter Diego Quispe Tito. Cusqueña painting is characterized by the use of exclusively religious themes, the lack of perspective, and the predominance of red, yellow and earth tones. They are also notable for their abundant use of gold leaf, especially with images of the Virgin Mary. Although Cusqueño painters were familiar with prints from Renaissance Byzantine, Flemish and Italian art, their works were freer than those of their European tutors; they used bright colors and distorted and dramatic imagery. They often adapted the themes to represent their native flora and fauna as a backdrop in their works. The arcabucer angels became a popular motif in Cusqueña paintings. Most Cusqueña paintings were created anonymously due to pre-Columbian traditions that define art as communal.
