Viceregal School. Peru. 17th - 18th century.‘Lord of Earthquakes’.Oil on canvas. Relined.114 x 82 cm.As we read in the Colonial Museum of Bogota's record ‘El Señor de los temblores (Lord of Earthquakes) of Cuzco Cathedral, the statue, according to various legends, was donated by Charles V or Philip II to the city of Cuzco, viceroyalty of Peru, to support the processes of evangelisation of the Inca population. The sculpture, dating from the mid-16th century, replaced another Christ known as the Good Death around 1560. Initially, the sculpture kept the name of its predecessor until 1650, when it began to be known as the Lord of the Tremors. The change was due to the fact that in that year there was an earthquake of great intensity in the city of Cuzco. In order to calm it down, the citizens processed with the statue, which, according to the story, calmed the effects of the quake. After the miracle, the image of the Lord of the Earthquakes spread widely throughout Latin America.The image, thus inspired by the carving from Cuzco, has several peculiarities, the most visible of which is that it portrays a ‘black’ Christ, a characteristic made possible by the scarce and simple polychromy, especially in the skin tones. The choice of materials is based on the flora of the Andean region, as it is made from agave and other plant fibres typical of the area. Such compositional characteristics allow us to think that it is possible that the image is of indigenous origin, which highlights its value as a testimony to the cultural crossbreeding brought about by the historical colonial processes, while at the same time leading us to question the legend surrounding this carving. This image of Christ has had a strong process of local appropriation by the indigenous communities of Cuzco, so much so that it is known as Taitacha Temblores, Taitacha being a Quechua word for saints or divinities. This linguistic particularity would point to the relationship that exists between an indigenous community, community devotional practices and cultural appropriation.The Monastery of Santa Catalina in Arequipa, Peru, also has a Señor de los Temblores with a donor, very similar to this one.

Diego Quispe Tito (Cuzco, Peru, 1611 - 1681)"The Annunciation"Oil on canvas. It has lacks of painting.157 x 218,5 cm.Provenance: this lot is the couple of lot 81 from the auction, "Beauty and Devotion. Picasso between the Old and New World", 25th of April, 2024. A palace-house of an Andalusian marquisate, a Spanish noble family whose lineage dates back to the 12th century.Specifically, our painting was placed next to its partner, "The Holy Family in the workshop of Nazareth".It is obvious that these two pieces were a pair, because the model used to portray Mary is the same in both paintings, as well as the basket with clothes that we find centering the scene is the same in both paintings.As we read in the Real Academia de la Historia Quispe Tito "Member of a family of the Inca aristocracy, is considered among the main initiators of the Cuzco school for painting. He apparently came from the indigenous village of San Sebastián, which houses a significant part of his production. It is centred on the decorative works for the parish church in that town, for which he worked intensively between 1634 and 1669. During those years he produced four large pictorial cycles: Life of Saint John the Baptist, The Passion, Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian and The Doctors of the Church.These groups of canvasses summarise Quispe Tito's original maturity, characterised by an ingenious reinterpretation of European prints and by a precise, agile brushstroke with lively colours.His fame soon spread beyond the confines of Cuzco, and in 1667 he was commissioned by the churches of Potosí to paint Jesus among the Doctors of the Temple and The Betrothal of the Virgin, both of which are now in the Museo de la Casa de Moneda of that city.In the Inca capital itself, Quispe Tito's most ambitious work is the canvas of The Last Things or the Last Judgement, painted for the porter's lodge of the Convent of San Francisco in 1675.Here the Andean painter abandoned the dynamic formulas for depicting the Last Judgement, in force until the High Renaissance and early Baroque periods in Europe, to return to the ordered scheme, in the form of successive The Holy Family Returning from Egypt (National Museum of History), dated 1680, displays the virtuosity characteristic of his later works. Here the painter based himself on a widespread composition by Rubens, but Quispe Tito considerably reduced the proportion of the figures in relation to the background in order to place the scene of the sacred story within a vast idealised and fantastic landscape, thus heralding the emergence of one of the favourite genres of painting in Cuzco in the following century. At the same time he executed the well-known series of the zodiac, hung on the walls of the side naves of the Cathedral of Cuzco. Today only nine of the twelve signs exist, either because three of them were destroyed or because the artist died before completing the commission.It is a Christianised cycle, in which each of the zodiacal signs is identified with a parable of Christ or a Gospel story. In this case Quispe literally follows his Flemish graphic sources, while at the same time displaying a European-inspired pictorial craft, the high technical level of which is unsurpassed in the Cuzco context.In this way the artist, in the last stage of his life, seemed to adapt his work to the aesthetic preferences of a cultured, urban clientele, which may have attracted the attention of Bishop Mollinedo and his cathedral chapter.Bibliographic reference:- Wuffarden, Luis Eduardo.

Fourth generation, Dolomite Sprint in Inca Yellow recommissioned and upgraded by Ant Anstead and his team. The Dolomite Sprint Series 4 offered was first registered in February 1980 and is presented ready for its next adventure after being thoroughly recommissioned by Ant and his team. It is finished in Inca Yellow, which is much more unusual than the Mimosa Yellow which the first batch of Sprints made were all painted in, as this is a late Series 4 example, the Sprint’s final incarnation.Series 4s are considered more desirable and are definitely rarer, with only 834 produced in the model’s 7 year production run. Series 4s benefit from detailed improvements, most notably in having dual circuit brakes and a speedo calibrated in clearer 20mph increments. The drivers door mirror and rear fog light were also obligatory from 1st January 1st 1980, to meet new regulations.This car was purchased for restoration by Ant after being dry stored for some years. The previous owner had spent over £18,000 on restoring it over a period of years but not quite finished the task. This original restoration work included fitting poly bushes to the entire suspension, grooved and slotted front discs and height adjustable rear suspension. The engine was rebuilt and modified for better breathing utilizes twin Weber 45 DCOE carburettors, and Ant reports that it certainly pulls extremely well, being significantly more responsive than a standard Sprint. It also has a stainless-steel sports exhaust system connected to the standard manifold, so sounds superb.Ant and his team have sorted the brakes and fuel system where needed, fitting two new front springs and shock absorbers, and a high-torque starter motor. They have also restored the interior wood veneer which had, as is quite common on 1970s Triumphs, lifted away from base and gone cloudy. The luxurious interior ambience of these cars is an important part of their appeal and the black cloth interior trim on this car was otherwise in very good condition. Ant and his team have also fitted a new inner and outer sills on the driver’s side and repaired areas of damaged paintwork. There was no serious rust to fix other then the sill, just damage from the normal rigors of time and Ant feels that sills aside (which is common issue on these cars so knowing it’s been done to high standard is important) the shell has never needed any serious welding.Ant Anstead’s reflections on this car:"The Dolomite is a cool mixture of conservative styling and avant-garde technology which has now been largely forgotten outside of the circle of Triumph enthusiasts. That 16-valve, four-per cylinder head configuration has become the norm on performance cars so it’s cool to be reminded that Britain got there first and any car that’s successful in saloon car racing always has a certain cachet". N.B. The image used in our catalogue is a library photo. There will be photographs of the actual car on our website shortly.Specification Make: TRIUMPH Model: DOLOMITE SPRINT Year: 1980 Chassis Number: TWTLD5AT103028 Registration Number: LLD 566V Transmission: Manual Engine Number: VA22721H Make: Click here for more details and images
