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.

Painter of the Andean viceroyalty. Attributable to Francisco José de Lerma y Villegas (Caracas, Venezuela. 18th century. Active between 1719 and 1753).“Patronage of Our Lady of Mercy over the Order of the Mercedarians”Oil on canvas.The canvas has some damage.52,5 x 39,5 cm. (with frame: 100 x 61 cm.)The painting with the same subject matter as this one, ‘The Patronage of the Virgin of La Merced’, which is kept in the Museo de Arte Colonial de Caracas Quinta de Anauco, is also by Lerma and is based on an engraving by Cavalli. The two have great similarities.As we read in the Royal Academy of History, ‘In his pictorial works we can observe careful drawing, harmonious colouring and an adequate knowledge of light and shade, as well as the combination of various stylistic features resulting from the imitation of prints and engravings from a wide variety of sources’. Our work is based on the engraving by Pieter de Jode I (1565 - 1639) ‘Our Lady of Mercy’ (PI 626A/3935B).Wonderful canvas from New Spain, richly framed, depicting one of the most popular themes in New Spanish art, the so-called "Patrocinio" (Patronage), which shows the Virgin Mary (in this case) or a saint (cf. parallels with the Patronage of Saint Joseph in this same auction, lot 62) protecting communities, religious orders, corporations and authorities under her mantle (with a clientelistic and corporate scheme typical of the Ancien Régime), as the main recipients of her heavenly benefits.Our Lady of Mercy and the Redemption of the Captives is the Queen and Lady of the Order of Mercy (Latin: Ordo Beatæ Mariæ Virginis de Redemptione Captivorum), a Catholic mendicant religious order, founded in 1218 by Saint Peter Nolasco (ca. 1180-1245) for the redemption of Christian captives in the hands of Muslims. The Mercedarians committed themselves with a fourth vow, to liberate others who were weaker in the faith, even if their lives were endangered by it.This Virgin of Mercy, crowned ‘as queen’ of heaven under the Holy Trinity who contemplates and blesses the moment, protects the order of the Mercedarians, the Pope and the King under her wide mantle, raised and supported by two angels.The Pope we see is Gregory IX, who approved this religious order in 1235 with the Papal Bull "Devotionis vestrae"; next to him is Saint Raymond Nonnatus, another of the ‘principals’ of this order; the king, James I of Aragon, known as ‘the conqueror’ and, next to him, its founder Saint Peter Nolasco, and Saint Mary of Cervelló, left, founder of the female branch of this order, with some more of these Mercedarian sisters.All, without exception, are prostrate on a period checkered tiled floor: the king, the Pope and his bishops, and the entire religious order, kneel before the Virgin Mary and Lady Queen with both knees, an external gesture that expresses the greatest sign of submission.On the floor are scattered shackles, symbols of the redeemed captives.The painting has an imposing period frame, richly carved and gilded, with sections in painted glass (the polychrome is posterior). It is polychromed in blue, with flowery poinsettia, enclosing and completing the beauty and devotion of the painting. Bibliographic reference:- Ojeda, Almerindo. 2005-2024.
