Painting School Of Cuzco Peru Angel Arquebusier Catholic Baroque Gold Inca Andes Bolivia Ecuador

Early 20th century oil on canvas by the CUZCO school, depicting an angel harquebusier.
This school of painting, with its easily recognizable style, originated in the viceroyalty of Peru during the 16th and 17th centuries.
The aim of this artistic movement was to convert the Incas to Catholicism.
The missionaries brought several religious artists to CUZCO who disseminated Catholic subjects.
This style of painting, with its bright colors and use of gold, also spread to Bolivia and Ecuador.
The European Baroque influence and the indigenous and mestizo artistic tradition are found in these works.
The harquebusier angel is a soldier angel, his harquebus symbolizing captured lightning.
This painting has no stretcher, as is very often the case, as these paintings were often brought back from trips to South America.
