Portrait of Peruvian 19th Century

1800–1899

Peruvian 19th Century was a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

This artist made religious prints that people hung in homes and churches. Their engraving “Señor de los Milagros” shows a dark-robed Christ carried on a platform with onlookers below. In the 1800s, Peruvians relied on these images to carry the same holy figure from place to place during processions. Tap the print to see how the green ink and paper age, or peek at the next tile to meet another printmaker from the same century.
