Madonna of Humility Sano di Pietro (Italian, Sienese, 1405-1481). Madonna of Humility, early 1440s. Tempera and tooled gold and silver on panel with engaged frame, 20 7/8 x 14 1/4 in. (53 x 36.2 cm). This early Madonna is unusual in Sanos prolific career in that it shows not only the graceful linear forms that characterize Sienese painting, but also the powerful effect of Florentine realism in the pliant muscularity of the Child and the sense of observed reality in the head of the Madonna. The Madonna of Humility refers to images of the Virgin seated modestly on the ground (usually, as here, on a cushion), emphasizing her humanity and motherhood, as opposed to the Madonna Enthroned, which presents her as the Queen of Heaven. As was common in other images of this genre, this Madonna is surrounded by cherubim, junior members of the family of angels and often depicted as winged heads. Here, they are painted in silver, whose tarnishing adds to their otherworldly effect. With the expandin

Christ Child with Passion Symbols Unknown. Christ Child with Passion Symbols, late 17th century. Oil on canvas, 39 1/8 x 31 3/4in. (99.4 x 80.6cm). Religious paintings in private chapels often had both didactic and devotional purposes. From the sixteenth century, missionaries intent on imposing Catholic doctrine and Christian morality on native people promoted domestic scenes of the Holy Family such as The Carpenters Shop in Nazareth as models for proper family conduct. An oratory would also have been an apt location for a painting such as the Christ Child with Passion Symbols, whose emblematic elements made it particularly suitable for devotion. Las pinturas religiosas en las capillas privadas a menudo tenían objetivos tanto didácticos como piadosos. Desde el siglo XVI, la resolución de los misioneros de imponer la doctrina católica y la moralidad cristiana a los nativos estimuló el uso de escenas domésticas de la Sagrada Familia, tales como El Taller de Carpintero en Nazaret, como

Virgin of Pomata with St. Nicholas Tolentino and St. Rose of Lima Unknown. Virgin of Pomata with St. Nicholas Tolentino and St. Rose of Lima, 1700-1750. Oil on canvas, 26 x 21 in. (66 x 53.3 cm). The town of Pomata, situated above Lake Titicaca in the highlands of Peru, was once a popular Christian pilgrimage shrine. In this painting, Our Lady of Pomata is depicted as a statue--a carved figure crowned and dressed in lavish garments and adorned with precious materials--that stood on the side altar of the parish church. This type of iconic image, found throughout Latin America, is known as a statue painting. A rosary encircles the hands of the Virgin, who holds a tiny doll-like Child Jesus, also crowned and finely dressed. Pearls were among the sensational finds of the Spanish in the New World, and swags of them, caught with huge rosettes, adorn the figure. She stands on an altar, covered with white lace-trimmed cloth, whose red drapery trimmed in gold has been opened for worship. Two a

Virgin of Guadalupe Isidro Escamilla (Mexican, active 19th century). Virgin of Guadalupe, September 1, 1824. Oil on canvas, 22 7/8 x 15in. (58.1 x 38.1cm). Isidro Escamilla painted this image shortly after the 1821 Act of Independence, which formalized the end of Spanish rule in the region. New World figures like the Virgin of Guadalupe, who miraculously appeared to the Indian Juan Diego in 1521, became important nationalist symbols, supporting the idea that Mexican independence was divinely ordained.
