Alban Baroque Casta Dressed Paintings Quito Vicente
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th-century oil on canvas painting, titled "A Young Woman from Quito Dressed for Public Life" by Vicente Albán, showcases the vibrant colors and intricate details of the Colonial Baroque style. Painted in 1783, this work is a prime example of the Casta painting genre, which originated in the Spanish colonies in America. The young woman depicted in the painting is elegantly dressed for public life in Quito, Ecuador during the colonial period. Her attire includes a richly embroidered dress, a shawl draped over her shoulders, and a hat adorned with flowers. Her expression is serene and confident, reflecting the refined sophistication of the colonial elite. The painting is part of the extensive collection of the Americas Museum in Madrid, Spain. Vicente Albán (1737-1804) was a prominent painter of the Quito School, which flourished in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Albán's works are known for their meticulous attention to detail and their exploration of the diverse cultures and traditions of the colonial world. This horizontal painting, with its rich color palette and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the colonial elite in Quito during the 18th century. It is a testament to the artistic achievements of Vicente Albán and the Quito School, and a valuable contribution to the history of colonial art in the Americas.
