EDITORS COMMENTS
The Apocalyptic Virgin of Quito, painted by Jose Cortez de Alcocer in the late 18th century, is a captivating oil on canvas piece that showcases the artist's mastery and devotion to religious themes. This stunning artwork measures 105.4 x 81cm and is currently held in a private collection. In this biblical scene, we see the Virgin Mary standing amidst a picturesque outdoor setting with cherubim surrounding her. The vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes bring to life the lush floral landscape that frames her figure. Dressed in traditional apparel, she gazes down with a solemn expression while holding a gesture of prayer. The apocalyptic undertones are evident through the dramatic clouds that fill the sky above her head. Symbolizing divine intervention and impending doom, they add an air of mystery and tension to the composition. The inclusion of lilies further emphasizes Mary's purity and connection to divinity. This Latin American painting from the Quito School represents not only artistic skill but also cultural significance. It reflects both religious devotion and regional identity during this period in history. Bridgeman Images has captured this remarkable artwork through their expert photography skills, allowing viewers to appreciate every intricate detail up close. As we admire this print, we are transported back in time to witness Alcocer's talent firsthand and experience his interpretation of an apocalyptic vision within Christian iconography.
