"Virgin of the Refuge".
Oil on canvas. Re-coloured.
It presents damages and repainting.
Measurements: 56 x 46,5 cm; 63 x 52 cm (frame).
In this painting the image of the Virgin with the Child is represented following the model of representation of the Virgin of the Refuge of the Sinners, iconography that refers to one of the invocations of the Lauretan litany. This theme presents Mary as the living ark that preserves men from the evils of the soul and body, the city that shelters the wretched and helpless, the lighthouse tower that gives light to men navigating in the dangerous sea of the world, the one who saves souls from shipwreck. As intercessor and merciful Mother, she is the moon that shines by night for the sinners who call upon her, just as Christ shines by day for the righteous. The origin of the devotion to Our Lady of Refuge is to be found in the Italian town of Frascatti at the beginning of the 18th century, and by 1717 the invocation was established and spread by the Society of Jesus. Shortly afterwards, in the same 18th century, prints and copies of the original image arrived in New Spain, which was the starting point for the new iconography. From then on, the devotion spread rapidly, for didactic and propagandistic purposes, through the Jesuits. The iconography is based on the elements we see here: Mary dressed in red and brown. Jesus appears only covered by a delicate cloth, held by the Virgin on the Child's chest and back.
