The Infant Christ Pricked by a Thorn — 8×12” Original Hand-Painted Oil Painting (Cusco School Style)

Contemplate the mystery of Christ’s future Passion through this 8×12-inch original hand-painted oil painting, created in the traditional Cusco School (Peruvian Andean-Baroque) style.

This moving depiction presents the Infant Jesus seated gently, surrounded by delicate floral ornamentation. In a tender yet prophetic moment, He is shown pricked by a thorn—an early sign of the suffering He would later endure for the salvation of the world. His serene expression reflects innocence united with divine foreknowledge, reminding the faithful that even in His infancy, Christ embraced the Cross out of love for humanity.

The rich colors, careful detailing, and symbolic depth characteristic of the Andean-Baroque tradition make this a powerful devotional piece—ideal for prayer spaces, Catholic homes, or sacred art collections centered on the Passion of Christ.
