About the piece
Painted in 1904 by Juan Lepiani, this grand historical work depicts General José de San Martín proclaiming the independence of Peru in 1821. Standing on a balcony overlooking a vast, cheering crowd in Lima's Plaza de Armas, the composition captures the gravity and triumph of the moment through rich colors and masterful figurative detail.
