    • MIGUEL DE SANTIAGO (QUITO, ECUADOR, 1620 - 1706)
      Nov. 23, 2023

      MIGUEL DE SANTIAGO (QUITO, ECUADOR, 1620 - 1706)

      Est: €65,000 - €70,000

      Miguel de Santiago (Quito, Ecuador, 1620 - 1706) "Immaculate Virgin Mary as a Child (Asuncion to Heaven)" Oil on canvas. 165 x 103 cm. Delicate canvas by the principal painter of the Quito colonial school. It portrays the Immaculate Virgin as a child ascending to heaven, surrounded by angels carrying symbolism from the Litany of Loreto, under the blessing of God the Father and the Spirit, hovering over the scene with joy, light, and both interior and exterior veneration. In this painting, as in many others, Miguel de Santiago maintains a central figure that stands out from the composition, almost with an architectural structure, landscapes, and atmospheric distances. Mary, "electa ut sol, clara ut luna" (chosen like the sun, clear as the moon), like "a lily of the field," "mirror of justice," "without blemish," "without wrinkle"... titles from the Song of Songs collected in the Litanies. Clearly, the painter was knowledgeable about the biblical quote from the Apocalypse (Rev. 12:1 and following), "a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head," as the protector of Christians and aiding in the triumph of Christ. Miguel de Santiago is considered to be one of the most important painters of the Quito colonial school. As stated by the Royal Academy of History: "Miguel de Santiago was born in Quito in the early decades of the 17th century, in the traditional neighbourhood of Santa Bárbara, and died in 1706. In 1633, he was adopted by Hernando de Santiago, alderman and faithful executor of the town of Villar de Don Pardo, from whom he took his surname. Santiago's work is distributed between various convents and churches in the city of Quito. For the Convent of San Agustín, he collaborated in the execution of the series of paintings on the life of the patron saint of the Order. Painted in 1656, the canvases were inspired by engravings made by the Flemish artist Schelte Adams Bolswert. Santiago is also the author of the series of paintings on the Christian Doctrine (1670) found in the Fray Pedro Gocial Museum, of the Franciscan Order of Quito. Santiago exported many of his works beyond the geographical limits of the Royal Audience of Quito. Amongst these, it is worth highlighting the uniqueness of different canvases that would have served mnemonic and didactic functions, such as the series of El Alabado or Ave María and the Articles of Faith, both commissioned in 1673, and the Works of Mercy, which are located in the Bogotá Cathedral, Colombia."
