Description
Lazaro Pardo de Lago (Cuzco, Viceroyalty of Peru, Active between 1630 - 1660)."Appearance of Christ and the Virgin Mary surrounded by angels to Saint Francis, in the Porziuncola Chapel of Santa Maria degli Angeli, in Assisi"Oil on copper. Handwritten in golden letters at the bottom margin: "Jubileo o Indulgencia de Porciuncula" (Jubilee or Indulgence of Porziuncola).29 x 22.5 cm.This painting is undoubtedly the work of Maestro Pardo de Lago. In our opinion, it can be compared to Lázaro Pardo's "Exaltation of the Cross," which is kept in the Pedro de Osma Museum in Cuzco, Peru. Additionally, the delicate features of the Virgin Mary's face and hands in this painting can also be compared to the painting of the "Immaculate Conception" also kept in the Pedro de Osma Museum.It is worth noting that themes dedicated to such an important episode in the life of Saint Francis were significant references for Pardo de Lago due to his strong connection with the Order.Another important noticeable element in this painting is the heraldic shield seen on the altar, which belongs to the Chaves family. Originating from Extremadura, with roots in Portugal and ancestral properties in Trujillo and Ciudad Rodrigo, this family also had a branch that moved to Peru. They proved their nobility in the Orders of Santiago, Calatrava, Alcántara, Charles III, and the Knights Hospitallar.Their coat of arms consists of a gules field with five gold keys arranged in a cross with their eyes looking downward. There is also a bordure (border) of gules with gold saltires alternating with the quinas of Portugal.This wonderful painting portrays the moment of the apparition when Saint Francis asked the Lord to grant an indulgence to all who visited the church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, under the title of Maria degli Angeli. The Lord accepted this request and instructed Saint Francis to go to Perugia to obtain the desired favour from Pope Honorius II. The Holy Father granted this indulgence in 1216.This indulgence is still granted today if, between August 1st and 2nd, one visits any chapel in a Franciscan convent and receives "the grace of Porziuncola, where complete forgiveness is obtained, and peace with God is established."Saint Francis of Assisi had a "great desire for the salvation of all souls," and that the faithful, with piety and devotion, would receive the indulgence by fulfilling the Church's provisions.As cited by the Real Academia de la Historia (Royal Academy of History), Lázaro Pardo de Lago was a: "Painter, gilder, and Creole or mestizo sculptor, who ranks among the first important masters who worked in the ancient Inca capital. His work was primarily linked to the Franciscan Order, and his more personal style appears to echo early Hispanic naturalism, blending the observation of immediate reality with refined formal stylisation. In 1630, Pardo painted, at the request of the Franciscan monastery of Cuzco, two large canvases depicting the Franciscan martyrs of Japan, which can be considered his masterpieces. Both scenes reveal a painter of exceptional quality, judging by the meticulous precision of his work, the luminous colour, and the strongly characterised heads of some martyrs. Deploying ingenious local expressive resources, Pardo depicted the Asian friars with features similar to those of mestizos or the mixed Hispanic and indigenous people of his time.Furthermore, Lázaro Pardo was one of the first Cuzco artists who used engravings by Peter Paul Rubens and his school as a starting point for his compositions. An example of this is the Assumption of the Virgin, executed in 1632 by order of the parish of San Cristóbal, based on a homonymous work engraved by Cornelis Galle, following the original design by Rubens.His workshop must have been one of the largest in Cuzco during his time."The coat of arms which appears on the altarpiece is the heraldic shield of the Chaves family.They came from the Extremadura province of Spain, and were originally from Portugal with ancestral properties in Trujillo and Ciudad Rodrigo. One branch settled in Peru. Their nobility was verified by the Orders of Santiago, Calatrava, Alcántara, Charles III, and the Knights Hospitallar.Arms: In the gules field are five golden keys placed saltirewise with their eyes downward; there is a bordure of gules, full of gold saltires alternating with the quincunx of Portugal.Reference bibliography:- Real Academia de la Historia.
