Our Lady of Candlemas (Candelaria)

Our Lady of Candlemas (Candelaria) — 12×16” Original Hand-Painted Oil Painting (Cusco School Style)

Bring the radiant warmth, protection, and blessing of Our Lady of Candlemas into your home with this exquisite 12×16-inch original hand-painted oil artwork, crafted in the rich Andean-Baroque tradition of the historic Cusco School.

This vibrant depiction of the Virgen de la Candelaria—honored throughout Latin America as a powerful intercessor—captures Mary crowned in majesty, holding the Christ Child while surrounded by lush floral detailing and shimmering gold ornamentation. The warm hues, elaborate patterns, and devotional symbolism reflect a centuries-old artistic heritage that blends European sacred iconography with the spiritual depth of the Peruvian Andes.

The feast of Candlemas celebrates the Presentation of the Lord and the Purification of Mary, a moment of offering, blessing, and divine light. This painting beautifully conveys that mystery: Mary presenting the Light of the World, guiding the faithful with her maternal protection and unwavering faith.

A meaningful devotional artwork perfect for home chapels, prayer corners, Catholic households, and collectors of traditional Andean religious art.
