GRAND AUCTION OF OLD MASTERS, COLONIAL ART AND VINTAGE WATCHES
Lote 196:
Good condition, canvas only measurements: 160 x 110 cm. Framed measurements: 170 x 120 cm. Without significant chromatic loss or repainting, it requires cleaning the old varnish. Work very close to the universally praised Diego Quispe Tito (1611-1681), possibly the most influential artist of Cusco painting in the viceroyalty. In this beautiful scene, the patriarch Joseph, in his final death throes, directs his paternal gaze towards the Messiah, with the Virgin Mary at the foot of his bed. In the back plane the Archangel Saint Michael and the Angel of the Annunciation. Crowning this beautiful composition, God the Father, giving his blessing on the Holy Spirit.
