Escuela Cuzqueña (XIX - XX) - Ángel trompetero abanderado

Magnificent painting on a canvas glued to a panel dating from the 19th century. It is known as the trumpet-angel—the representation of an angel with an Arquebus instead of the traditional sword. This style developed during the Spanish colonial period in South America. In viceroyal Peruvian painting, the theme of angels is one of the most characteristic of the Cusqueña school. Thus, we find that the paintings depicting them develop this pictorial theme in a much more detailed way than in the European case, also showing a great expressive richness and, in general, excellent workmanship. - Framed dimensions: 34x28 cm. - Painting dimensions: 24x18 cm. It is believed that the defining characteristics of the Cusqueña style originated in the work of the Quechua painter Diego Quispe Tito. Cusqueña painting is characterized by the use of exclusively religious themes, a lack of perspective, and the predominance of red, yellow, and earth tones. It is also notable for its abundant use of gold leaf, especially in images of the Virgin Mary. Although Cusqueño painters were familiar with prints from Renaissance, Byzantine, Flemish, and Italian art, their works were freer than those of their European tutors; they used vivid colors and distorted and dramatic imagery. They often adapted the themes to portray their native flora and fauna as a backdrop in their works. The trumpet-armed angels became a popular motif in Cusqueña paintings. Most Cusqueña paintings were created anonymously due to pre-Columbian traditions that define art as communal.
