EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Our Lady of Mount Carmel" by Jose Rafael Aragon, created around 1830. Painted with water-based paint on a wood panel, this piece measures 23.8 x 18.4 cm and is housed in The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The painting depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary as the patroness of the Carmelite Order, a group of Christian hermits who resided on Mount Carmel and built a chapel dedicated to the "Lady of the place". In the 19th century, Our Lady of Mount Carmel became revered as the patron saint of Chile. With intricate details and vibrant colors, Aragon's work captures both religious devotion and artistic finesse. The image features a crown adorning Mary's head while she cradles baby Jesus in her arms. A censer emits fragrant smoke nearby, adding an ethereal touch to this sacred scene. This painting reflects elements from traditional Catholicism and Spanish colonial art prevalent in Latin America during that era. It exudes an aura of spirituality through its portrayal of Mother Mary wearing traditional attire associated with Spanish America. A testament to faith and cultural heritage, this masterpiece serves as a reminder of Christianity's profound impact on Mexico and other parts of Latin America during the nineteenth century. Its naive yet powerful style makes it an exceptional example within Mexican folk art or santo paintings.
