Cusqueña School “Our Lady of Mount Carmel” – Andean Colonial Religious Painting

A distinguished Cusqueña School depiction of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Virgen del Carmen) holding the Child Jesus, both adorned with intricate golden embroidery and crowned halos.

This painting beautifully represents the traditional Andean colonial reinterpretation of Marian iconography, blending Catholic symbolism with Indigenous artistic craftsmanship.

The Virgin is dressed in an elegant golden mantle richly decorated with floral gold patterns, while the Child holds the iconic scapular of Mount Carmel — a defining attribute of this devotion.

The serene expressions, ornate halos, and delicate detailing reflect the mastery of the Cusco School, known for transforming European Baroque themes into uniquely Andean imagery.

Perfect for collectors of:

• Latin American colonial art

• Cusqueña School devotional paintings

• Marian iconography

• Sacred and religious art

• Cultural and heritage-focused collections

A luminous, refined artwork carrying deep spiritual symbolism and artistic value.
