Virgin of ChiquinquiráBaltasar Vargas de Figueroa

This oil painting (c. 1660) honors the Virgin of Chiquinquirá, patroness of Colombia, shown enthroned with the Christ Child. Saints flank her in reverence—one holding a miniature Christ, the other reading Scripture. Radiant with divine light, the Virgin embodies colonial-era Marian devotion, blending Spanish religious iconography with New World veneration.
