"The Virgin of the Rosary.
Oil on canvas.
Preserves its original canvas.
It presents frame following models of the XVII century.
Measurements: 96 x 78 cm; 112 x 95 cm (frame).
This work has great similarities with the piece entitled "Virgen del Rosario", made in 1779, by the artist José Campeche, and which currently belongs to the collection of the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture. However, in this particular work, the Virgin and Child do not share the Rosary, but each of the protagonists holds one independently. The Virgin holds a rose in her hand, as does her son. A flower, which in Christian iconography alludes to themes such as, for example, the blood of Christ, or the wounds. In this tender scene the two figures face the viewer, gazing directly at him, allowing him to participate in a tender and intimate image between mother and child. The painting is completed by the presence of several cherubs at the edges of the composition framing the main figures.
As has already been mentioned, its formal characteristics enable us to relate this work to the environment of the first known Puerto Rican artist, José Campeche, one of the best artists of the Americas in the 18th century. His father was a gilder and decorator, as well as an amateur painter, so José Campeche grew up in an artistically favourable environment, and in fact as a child he was already making clay figures, drawing and painting. He began his training with his father, and at the same time he read texts by Anton Raphael Mengs, which had a notable influence on his artistic thinking. He trained at the Dominican convent of San Juan, where he studied Latin, philosophy, anatomy and music. His first period as a painter lasted from 1763 to 1776 and was marked by an almost self-taught apprenticeship. However, in 1776 the Spanish chamber painter Luis Paret y Alcázar arrived in San Juan, whose influence would be key in defining Campeche's mature style. Throughout his career, he mainly dealt with religious themes and portraiture, both original and reproductions. His work is currently held in the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, the Museo de Arte de Ponce and other important public and private collections.
