EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Pedro Antonio Fresquis, titled "Our Lady of Mount Carmel". Created between 1749 and 1831, this masterpiece is painted with water-based paint on a wood panel. Measuring at 31.8 x 24.1 cm, it is housed in The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The painting depicts Nuestra Senora del Carmen, the Blessed Virgin Mary revered as the patroness of the Carmelite Order. This religious order consisted of Christian hermits who resided on Mount Carmel and built a chapel dedicated to the "Lady of the place". In Chile, Our Lady of Mount Carmel was adopted as their patron saint during the 19th century. The image portrays a crown-wearing Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus while surrounded by symbolic elements such as a censer and flowers. With its naive yet powerful style, this Spanish colonial artwork reflects both Christian and folk art influences from Latin America. Fresquis's skillful brushwork captures not only religious devotion but also architectural details like an altar screen found within stone churches prevalent in New Mexico and other parts of Spanish America during that era. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the rich artistic heritage present in Mexican and Caribbean cultures influenced by Christianity. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and borders while evoking spiritual contemplation for those who encounter it.
