About the piece
Dating from approximately 1770, this evocative painting captures the unique iconography of Our Lady of Valvanera, who is traditionally depicted within a hollowed-out tree. Surrounded by a vibrant array of birds, delicate flowers, and a kneeling devotee, the work showcases the intricate patterns and flat perspective characteristic of Spanish colonial art. The scene is set against a sprawling landscape featuring classical architecture and smaller narrative figures, creating a sense of wonder and devotion.
