17th Century Colonial School - Virgin of Angustias - Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 191 x 123 cm. The Virgin of Sorrows, with an expression of serene devotion, is surrounded by flowers and leaning on an altar decorated with baroque details. This work belongs to the rich colonial tradition of Latin America, where religious images played a fundamental role in evangelization. The iconography of the Virgin of Sorrows is a powerful evocation of the suffering of the Virgin Mary, a recurring theme in colonial art of the period.
