Beschreibung
Viceregal School. Peru. 18th century.
“Portraits of a Governor or Viceroy of Peru wearing the medallion of the order of Santiago and his wife.”
Oil on canvas.
128 x 97 cm. each.
These paintings not only aim to capture the portrait of an individual, they also aim to portray the society, the time in which the characters lived and their social prestige. It conveys wealth, power and status. A portrait, in short, of Viceroyal Peru.
The origin of these paintings is the nobility of Seville, who had a very close relationship with the trade with the Indies, they are possibly portraits sent to Seville by relatives who were in America, in order to demonstrate the status and fortune acquired in the new Spain.
Their geographical origin is evidenced by the painting technique, the ostentatious clothing, and the jewels that adorn the characters, very similar to the dresses that we find in other portraits of Viceroys and Governors of various viceroyalty paintings of the time. The landscape that we can see through the window is also significant, conjuring up some arid or mountainous place, it could be the famous Cerro Rico hill of Potosi, that was full of silver ore which enriched so many nobles, and that appeared in both portraits not by chance, but as one more element to demonstrate their power.
In the case of the lady, the dress is truly impressive, decorated with fine lace, brocade, and prints along with an original headdress that we only see in other portraits of the Viceroyalty. All of this denotes a local flavor, an example of Andean creativity, and reflects social status.
We observe the use of the color red, obtained by the use of cochineal as a dye, very fashionable at the time, as well as the fan that the lady carries, probably coming from China, as well as other rich merchandise from the Orient that arrived from Manila to Acapulco, being distributed throughout the New World.
In the case of the knight, he is portrayed wearing the important and ostentatious medallion that indicates he belongs to the Order of Santiago, and that once again we find in many portraits of Viceroys. The lesser offices wore much smaller or simple medals of the order.
The defect that we observe in the gentleman's lip “Cleft Palette”, is a congenital defect that was present among Spanish royalty, as is reflected in some portraits.
Provenance: House of the Marquises of Cuevas del Becerro, also Marquises of Benamejí. The painting was kept for centuries in the palace of Benamejí in the city of Ecija. On the back, on the stretcher, both have a label indicating “Manuel de la Lastra” and the annotation in pencil “Property of His Excellency the Marquis of Cuevas del Becerro”, probably from the distribution of articles of inheritance.
