Image of a religious man who is curing a blind man, the scene goes further and develops in depth in such a way that in the last plane you can appreciate the religious man in a space in which he gives lodging to several sick people. During the Spanish Viceroyalty, mainly religious painting was developed in the colonies, aimed at Christianising the indigenous peoples. Local painters were modelled on works from the metropolis, and although they followed them literally in terms of type and iconography, they soon developed their own language, both in the Cuzco and Mexican schools. In addition, the best painters often travelled to Spain to train in local workshops. This painting belongs to this period of rich creative synergies.
