This eighteenth-century painting depicting the devotional figure of Our Lady of Cocharcas centers the Catholic traditions imported to the Americas by Spanish missionaries. The statue is believed to have been brought to the highlands of present-day Peru by Sebastián Quimchi, a young Indigenous convert, after he was miraculously healed of his physical ailments during a pilgrimage to another Marian statue along Lake Titicaca. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Our Lady of Cocharcas is seen here as part of a procession in which Indigenous, African, and criollo (Spanish descent) devotees flock to the Marian statue, seeking blessings and miracles. The conical, mountainlike shape of the Virgin’s floral dress creates a deliberate association with Pachamama, the Andean earth-mother goddess, speaking to survival, transformation, and appropriation of Indigenous beliefs during the colonial period. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In these final weeks of 2020, we're taking time to find comfort, hope, and healing with artworks in the Museum's collection. #reflectionsonhealing⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Cuzco School artist, Our Lady of Cocharcas Under the Baldachin [Detail], 1765.
