This print showcases the "Virgin of Belen" painting, created by the Cuzco School in the 17th century. Measuring 180.3x120x8.9 cm, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed at the prestigious Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California, USA. The artwork depicts a richly decorated statue of the Virgin of Belen, which holds great significance during the annual Corpus Christi procession in Cuzco, Peru. This religious event sees devotees carrying the revered statue through the streets as an act of devotion and faith. The painting exudes a sense of divine beauty and spirituality with its intricate details and vibrant colors. Adorned with gold leaf accents and surrounded by delicate putti cherubs, it radiates a sacred aura that captivates viewers. Through this artwork, we witness not only religious symbolism but also cultural heritage from Spanish colonial South America. The Virgin Mary's presence represents Christian beliefs deeply rooted in Catholicism and Roman Catholic traditions. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of miracles attributed to Mother Mary and her son Jesus Christ. The altar adorned with brocateado fabric adds an air of grandeur to this sacred scene while flowers and curtains further enhance its ethereal ambiance. This print allows us to appreciate both artistic mastery and spiritual devotion intertwined within one remarkable piece from Peruvian history.
