Diego Quispe Tito (Cuzco, Perú, 1611 - 1681)"Saint Joseph with the Child in its workshop"Oil on canvas.71 x 63 cm.The painting we present is attributed to Diego Quispe Tito, a master of the 17th-century Cuzco School.  In addition to its devotional purpose, this painting of Saint Joseph with the Child Jesus serves as an example of a rolled format painting. This unusual canvas, rich in iconography and symbolism, is presented rolled like a parchment, a format typically created for ease of transport, whether for outdoor masses or services in villages near the main parish, or to display a religious motif that would unify catechesis, homilies, or talks given by missionaries.  From a technical perspective, this format required durable materials and painting techniques resistant to wear, as the paintings were repeatedly rolled and unrolled.  With a background characteristic of Quispe Tito, and later of the entire Cuzco School, we see a landscape filled with birds, vegetation, and flowers, including native elements such as Andean birds (macaws and parrots) and typical trees of the Andean region. The painting portrays backgrounds with mists and radiant clearings; gardens in intermediate planes with well-defined plants and vegetation, and a bridge.  There is an unreal architectural perspective to the right, a wall and a plinth are hinted at, on which the saint has his carpentry tools, as if he were a surgeon. There are also meticulously detailed elements. At the center, we contemplate the chaste Joseph holding the Child in his arms. To his left, as if representing an independent reality, we see Saint Lucy, as a donor, appearing timidly, with independent vanishing points and horizon lines, yet sharing the same pictorial surface without any clear division between them.We have three possible hypotheses: a) It is a religious painting, commissioned by a priest, featuring two primary devotions of the place where he ministers, one larger and more intense at the center, and another on the side; b) The commission was made by a man named José, who places his patron saint at the center, and near the end of the work, requests the artist to include Saint Lucy, who seems to stumble into the composition but integrates perfectly as she shares the same compositional plane; c) The painting was commissioned by a donor, placed to the left, named Lucía, or devoted to the saint, and she is depicted in an unreal plane next to the central saint she wishes to venerate.Whichever of these are true, this is a devotional painting, full of goodness and light, blessed from heaven by the Holy Spirit, which becomes a refreshing window of pure reality, a haven of peace, calm, and tenderness.  In the painting, we can observe the mastery in the use of vibrant colors, the richness of meticulous details, and the depth of color, all hallmarks of Quispe Tito’s style. The reds in the garments of Saint Joseph and Saint Lucy, and the whites of the Child Jesus, contrast with the background landscape, which features softer and more natural tones.  The textures of the clothing, the carpentry tools, and the natural elements of the landscape are rendered with precision, creating a harmonious composition that guides the viewer's gaze through the scene.  With the inclusion of carpentry tools, local landscapes, and native fauna, Quispe Tito not only narrates the sacred story but also documents life in his homeland. It is a work that encapsulates a cultural mix, speaking both of faith and identity, achieving not only its religious and spiritual function but also becoming a reflection of daily life in colonial Andes, creating a visual language that captivated both the Indigenous and Spanish populations.As we read in the Real Academia de la Historia Quispe Tito "Member of a family of the Inca aristocracy, he is considered to be one of the main initiators of the Cuzco school of painting. He apparently came from the indigenous village of San Sebastián, where a significant part of his work can be found. It is centred on the decorative works for the parish church in that town, for which he worked intensively between 1634 and 1669. During those years he produced four large pictorial cycles: Life of Saint John the Baptist, The Passion, Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian and The Doctors of the Church.These groups of canvasses summarise Quispe Tito's maturity and originality, characterised by an ingenious reinterpretation of European prints and by a precise, agile brushstroke with lively colours.His fame soon spread beyond the confines of Cuzco, and in 1667 he was commissioned by the churches of Potosí to paint Jesus with the Doctors of the Church and The Betrothal of the Virgin, both of which are now in the Museo de la Casa de Moneda in Potosí.In the Inca capital itself, Quispe Tito's most ambitious work is the canvas of the Last Judgement, painted for the porter's lodge of the Convent of San Francisco in 1675.Here the Andean painter abandoned the dynamic formulas, in force until the High Renaissance and early Baroque periods in Europe, to return to the ordered scheme in depicting the Last Judgement, in the form of successive horizontal layers, common among medieval painters."Bibliographic reference:- Gisbert, Teresa. “Iconografía y mitos indígenas en el arte”.

λ A PERUVIAN POLYCHROME FEATHERWORK TABARD FRAGMENT WITH ANIMAL MOTIFS Chimú or Inca Peru, South America, circa 14th - 16th centuryThe rectangular fragment most probably once part of a larger Peruvian tribal tabard garment, made of polychrome bird feathers tied into knots and then knotted directly onto an off-white coarse cotton ground, the feathers prominently in the tones of orange red, light yellow, iridescent teal blue, and brown, the upper section featuring two rows of stylised animals with claws and big fangs, the lower section monochrome, mounted on a cream-coloured cotton canvas in a Perspex casing.The panel 77cm x 43.5cm, 99.5cm x 64.3cm including the frame Provenance: Gifted from the Peruvian Ambassador to the parents of the present vendor in 1968 and in a private UK-based collection since. Exhibited and Published: Juan de Lara, Mestizaje and Craftsmanship in the Viceroyalties of America, Series 'Sumando Historias' of the Museo de America of Madrid, 4 April 2024. The fascination for exotic birds' feathers and their incorporation into artworks, whether in the form of textile panels, totems, adornments, or headdresses, are certainly not only prerogatives of South American civilisations. That said, in the specific case of Peru, featherwork certainly reached an unparalleled high level of complexity and impressive quality during the Chimú (ca. 1000 – 1470) and Inca (1430–1534) periods, as attested by the intricate string system with which the feathers were attached to the tabards. This technique was so elaborate and time-consuming that it is occasionally referred to as 'feather mosaic' (Christine Giuntini in Heidi King, Peruvian Featherworks: Art of the Precolumbian Era, MET, 2012, p. 94). Throughout the 16th century, Spanish and European conquistadors and explorers of the Americas wrote with admiration of the exotic objects they saw on their travels, among them not only clothing and textiles, but also weapons and objects often made of or embellished with rare and precious feathers of birds (Heidi King, Peruvian Featherworks: Art of the Precolumbian Era, MET, 2012, p. 9). Considered symbols of high status, they soon became prized ethnographic possessions, and later entered many important international museum collections. In terms of comparables, our tabard panel presents compositional and manufacturing similarities to another fragmentary panel attributed to Chancay or Ichma Peru, dating 13th - 15th century, in the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Ethnologisches Museum (acc. No. VA 660300) (ibidem, p. 33, fig. 21) and another Chimú panel with birds and wave motif, 13th - 15th century, in the Museo Amano, Lima (inv. 7512) (ibidem, p. 118). As far as the decoration goes, birds or animals mixed with running scroll or wave motif were seen on many tabards of the 13th - early 16th-century period, as well as in a variety of other mediums ncluding architecture, ceramics, metalwork. The later dating pieces tend to showcase more abstract and stylised creatures, like the present lot, making species identification difficult. λ This item may require Export or CITES licences in order to leave the UK. It is the buyer's responsibility to find out and conform to the specific export requirements of their country and ensure that lots have the relevant licences before shipping.

After two years at Westminster School, he entered the navy in 1844 and spent four years in H.M.S. Collingwood on the Pacific Station, mainly in South American ports, where he picked up a working knowledge of Spanish. Many things in the service were distasteful to him, but he remained in it for a further three years in order to join H.M.S. Assistance as a Midshipman under Captain Austin on his Franklin Search Expedition of 1850-51 (Arctic Medal). After a year of wandering (1852-53) among the Inca ruins of Peru, which made him a life-long friend of the Peruvian people, Markham joined the civil service, and in 1854 was transferred to the board of control of the East India Company. In 1860 he was charged with the collection of young cinchona trees and seeds in the forests of the Eastern Andes, and with the acclimatisation of the plants in India. The difficulties were great, but the result was a complete success, leading in time to the supply of quinine at a very low price. From 1867 to 1877 he had charge of the geographical work of the India Office. In 1868 he accompanied Sir Robert (afterwards Baron) Napier as Geographer on the Abyssinian Campaign. He was present at the capture of Magdala, and it was he who discovered the body of the Emperor Theodore (Abyssinian Medal). In 1871 he received the C.B., and in 1873 was elected F.R.S. Markham took an active role in promoting the revival of Arctic Exploration, and sailed in 1875 as far as Greenland with the expedition of Sir George Nares, on which occasion his cousin Sir Albert Hastings Markham was second-in-command. In 1877, he left the India Office and retired from official life, only to redouble his geographical and historical studies, travelling widely and writing incessantly. He had joined the Royal Geographical Society in 1854, and maintained a role as one of its honorary secretaries for 25 years (1863-1888). He became president of the society in 1893, and during his 12 years’ tenure he vigourously directed its policy of encouraging exploration and geographical education. He was frequently consulted by the government, on issues such as the difficult question of the boundary between British Guiana and Venezuela. He received the K.C.B. in 1896. For the next few years, Markham threw heart and soul into the promotion of Antarctic exploration, securing funds by urgent appeals to public and private sources. On the joint committee of the Royal Society and the Royal Geographical Society, which was responsible for the National Antarctic Expedition of 1901, it was Markham who selected Commander Robert Falcon Scott as leader, pressing his strong preference that the expedition should consist of naval men under the sole command of a naval officer, with a small civilian scientific staff. The expedition was highly successful, but Markham took little interest in later South Polar achievements (he was not a supporter of Shackleton) until Captain Scott planned the expedition in the Terra Nova in 1910, when his former ardour was rekindled. Captain Scott drew much of his inspiration and encouragement from Markham, and in one of his final farewell letters wrote, ‘Tell Sir Clements I thought much of him and never regretted him putting me in command of the Discovery.’ For many years, Sir Clements Markham’s reputation was established throughout the world as the leading British geographer and his achievements were recognised by his many awards, not least the gold Founder’s Medal of the Royal Geographical Society. Sir Clements Markham died in London on 30 January 1916. Amongst the many memorials is a bronze bust, presented by the government of Peru, which today stands guard at the portals of the Royal Geographical Society’s main entrance to Lowther Lodge in Kensington. Sold with a first edition of The Life of Sir Clements R. Markham K.C.B. F.R.S., by Admiral Sir Albert Markham K.C.B., London 1917.

Attributed to Diego Quispe Tito (Cuzco, Perú, 1611 - 1681)"The Visitation"Oil on canvas. Accompanied by an imposing carved and gilded wooden frame from the period.56,5 x 41,5 cm. A superb composition of the narrative passage found in Luke 1:39-45, attributed to Tito Quispe, considered to be one of the most prominent members of the Cuzco school.The scene fills the entire canvas. In a misty background, a tree in a garden is faintly suggested along with the house of Zechariah and Elizabeth depicted with an unreal architectural perspective. With carefully crafted details in the foreground, our gaze focuses on the two couples from this biblical encounter: Zechariah and Elizabeth on the left, and Joseph and Mary on the right. The men play secondary roles, positioned humbly, somewhat distant, "a step back," in reverence for this meeting.The love between the two women—cousins—takes center place.  The two figures meeting here are based on the engraving The Visitation by Jean Leclerc (1587-1633): their joining of hands expresses welcome, as does the hand resting on Mary’s womb as she exclaims, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb."The brushstrokes of the artist showcase his virtuosity through his depiction of intricate gold filigree and flowers scattered across the garments, as well as the trimming, lace, and edging that adorn them, symbolizing the importance of the characters in this scene. Serene, humble faces reflect affection and closeness, joy and respect. A blend of mysticism and tenderness brings this biblical event closer to a "simple family meeting," making it more relatable to the viewer so that they, too, "feel visited," invited as another member of this heavenly family.In a period frame, filled with overflowing leaves and flowers, highlighted by magnificent carving and gilding, rounding off this work of unsurpassed and delicate technical mastery and showcasing the artist's extraordinary skill in this painting. As we read in the Real Academia de la Historia Quispe Tito "Member of a family of the Inca aristocracy, is considered to be one of the main initiators of the Cuzco school of painting. He apparently came from the indigenous village of San Sebastián, where a significant part of his work can be found. It is centred on the decorative works for the parish church in that town, for which he worked intensively between 1634 and 1669. During those years he produced four large pictorial cycles: Life of Saint John the Baptist, The Passion, Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian and The Doctors of the Church.These groups of canvasses summarise Quispe Tito's maturity and originality, characterised by an ingenious reinterpretation of European prints and by a precise, agile brushstroke with lively colours.His fame soon spread beyond the confines of Cuzco, and in 1667 he was commissioned by the churches of Potosí to paint Jesus with the Doctors of the Church and The Betrothal of the Virgin, both of which are now in the Museo de la Casa de Moneda in Potosí.In the Inca capital itself, Quispe Tito's most ambitious work is the canvas of the Last Judgement, painted for the porter's lodge of the Convent of San Francisco in 1675.Here the Andean painter abandoned the dynamic formulas, in force until the High Renaissance and early Baroque periods in Europe, to return to the ordered scheme in depicting the Last Judgement, in the form of successive horizontal layers, common among medieval painters." Bibliographic reference:- Wuffarden, Luis Eduardo.

Viceregal School. Peru. 17th - 18th century.‘Lord of Earthquakes’.Oil on canvas. Relined.114 x 82 cm.As we read in the Colonial Museum of Bogota's record ‘El Señor de los temblores (Lord of Earthquakes) of Cuzco Cathedral, the statue, according to various legends, was donated by Charles V or Philip II to the city of Cuzco, viceroyalty of Peru, to support the processes of evangelisation of the Inca population. The sculpture, dating from the mid-16th century, replaced another Christ known as the Good Death around 1560. Initially, the sculpture kept the name of its predecessor until 1650, when it began to be known as the Lord of the Tremors. The change was due to the fact that in that year there was an earthquake of great intensity in the city of Cuzco. In order to calm it down, the citizens processed with the statue, which, according to the story, calmed the effects of the quake. After the miracle, the image of the Lord of the Earthquakes spread widely throughout Latin America.The image, thus inspired by the carving from Cuzco, has several peculiarities, the most visible of which is that it portrays a ‘black’ Christ, a characteristic made possible by the scarce and simple polychromy, especially in the skin tones. The choice of materials is based on the flora of the Andean region, as it is made from agave and other plant fibres typical of the area. Such compositional characteristics allow us to think that it is possible that the image is of indigenous origin, which highlights its value as a testimony to the cultural crossbreeding brought about by the historical colonial processes, while at the same time leading us to question the legend surrounding this carving. This image of Christ has had a strong process of local appropriation by the indigenous communities of Cuzco, so much so that it is known as Taitacha Temblores, Taitacha being a Quechua word for saints or divinities. This linguistic particularity would point to the relationship that exists between an indigenous community, community devotional practices and cultural appropriation.The Monastery of Santa Catalina in Arequipa, Peru, also has a Señor de los Temblores with a donor, very similar to this one.

Diego Quispe Tito (Cuzco, Peru, 1611 - 1681)"The Annunciation"Oil on canvas. It has lacks of painting.157 x 218,5 cm.Provenance: this lot is the couple of lot 81 from the auction, "Beauty and Devotion. Picasso between the Old and New World", 25th of April, 2024. A palace-house of an Andalusian marquisate, a Spanish noble family whose lineage dates back to the 12th century.Specifically, our painting was placed next to its partner, "The Holy Family in the workshop of Nazareth".It is obvious that these two pieces were a pair, because the model used to portray Mary is the same in both paintings, as well as the basket with clothes that we find centering the scene is the same in both paintings.As we read in the Real Academia de la Historia Quispe Tito "Member of a family of the Inca aristocracy, is considered among the main initiators of the Cuzco school for painting. He apparently came from the indigenous village of San Sebastián, which houses a significant part of his production. It is centred on the decorative works for the parish church in that town, for which he worked intensively between 1634 and 1669. During those years he produced four large pictorial cycles: Life of Saint John the Baptist, The Passion, Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian and The Doctors of the Church.These groups of canvasses summarise Quispe Tito's original maturity, characterised by an ingenious reinterpretation of European prints and by a precise, agile brushstroke with lively colours.His fame soon spread beyond the confines of Cuzco, and in 1667 he was commissioned by the churches of Potosí to paint Jesus among the Doctors of the Temple and The Betrothal of the Virgin, both of which are now in the Museo de la Casa de Moneda of that city.In the Inca capital itself, Quispe Tito's most ambitious work is the canvas of The Last Things or the Last Judgement, painted for the porter's lodge of the Convent of San Francisco in 1675.Here the Andean painter abandoned the dynamic formulas for depicting the Last Judgement, in force until the High Renaissance and early Baroque periods in Europe, to return to the ordered scheme, in the form of successive The Holy Family Returning from Egypt (National Museum of History), dated 1680, displays the virtuosity characteristic of his later works. Here the painter based himself on a widespread composition by Rubens, but Quispe Tito considerably reduced the proportion of the figures in relation to the background in order to place the scene of the sacred story within a vast idealised and fantastic landscape, thus heralding the emergence of one of the favourite genres of painting in Cuzco in the following century. At the same time he executed the well-known series of the zodiac, hung on the walls of the side naves of the Cathedral of Cuzco. Today only nine of the twelve signs exist, either because three of them were destroyed or because the artist died before completing the commission.It is a Christianised cycle, in which each of the zodiacal signs is identified with a parable of Christ or a Gospel story. In this case Quispe literally follows his Flemish graphic sources, while at the same time displaying a European-inspired pictorial craft, the high technical level of which is unsurpassed in the Cuzco context.In this way the artist, in the last stage of his life, seemed to adapt his work to the aesthetic preferences of a cultured, urban clientele, which may have attracted the attention of Bishop Mollinedo and his cathedral chapter.Bibliographic reference:- Wuffarden, Luis Eduardo.
