Colonial School. Mexico. 17th - 18th century
"True Portrait of Our Lady of Solitude from Victoria Convent, Madrid"
Oil on canvas. Lined. 188,5 x 126 cm.
This is the “True Portrait” that depicts the sculpture that was venerated in the Victoria Convent of the Minims Order in Madrid, and created by Gaspar Becerra in 1563, commissioned by Isabel de Valois. Its fame reached New Spain, and both the Cathedral of Mexico and that of Puebla have a chapel dedicated to the image, as does a church in Oaxaca.
There is great similarity between this painting and the painting by Cristóbal de Villalpando which is kept at the San Pedro Museo de Arte in the city Puebla, and with the Soledad keept at Monastery of Comendadoras de Santiago in Madrid.
