Dormition of the Virgin

This 18th-c. anonymous mixed-media work depicts the Virgin Mary at the moment of her dormition, surrounded by heavenly hosts and the Trinity awaiting her soul. Rich fabrics applied directly to the canvas evoke her sacred presence. The fusion of painting and collage reflects the Andean baroque’s embrace of sensory devotion and visual splendor.
