EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the distinguished figure of Rafael Lasso de la Vega (1764-1831), a Panamanian prelate who served as the Bishop of Quito in Ecuador during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The image, painted by Hilario Jose Lombardo Rosa, depicts Lasso de la Vega in the grandeur of his ecclesiastical attire, surrounded by the solemnity of the chapter house within the Cathedral of Quito. Lasso de la Vega's regal appearance is accentuated by his ornate miter, richly embroidered coat, and the scepter and cross in his hands. The intricate detailing of his clothing, down to the finely-crafted buckles and buttons, speaks to the opulence of the era. The Bishop's serious expression and the somber interior of the chapter house create an air of reverence and importance. The presence of a book on the table before him suggests Lasso de la Vega's dedication to his religious duties and scholarly pursuits. The child and choir members in the background add a sense of scale and context, illustrating the influence and reach of the Catholic Church during this time. The intricate floor tiles and ornate frame further enhance the overall beauty and grandeur of the scene. This painting is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the Catholic Church in Ecuador during the 18th and 19th centuries. The portrait of Bishop Rafael Lasso de la Vega, as captured by Hilario Jose Lombardo Rosa, is a valuable and captivating addition to any collection of art or religious history.
