This magnificent early 18th century painting of an Angel Arcabucero
In eighteenth century Peru, extraordinary depictions of ángeles arcabuceros or angels bearing muskets or “arquebuses" flourished, most notably in the artistic centers of Cuzco and the Altiplano regon of Calamarca. Numerous accounts tell of workshops in the region that employed foreign and local artisans, apprentices and others that were dedicated to the creation of religious paintings, sculptures and decorations for churches, convents and monastaries. Evangelization fueled this manufacture and consumption of sacred images and objects
