During the height of Huamanga stone carving there was a profusion of religious topics.
Presentation of The Virgin (1700/1800) by AnonymousMuseo Pedro de Osma
Of note among the Huamanga stone religious pieces in the Pedro de Osma collection is an eighteenth century set depicting the life of the Virgin, which has remnants of its original paint.
The Virgin's Education (1700/1800) by AnonymousMuseo Pedro de Osma
The Immaculate Conception (1700/1800) by AnonymousMuseo Pedro de Osma
The one pictured here, like others in the collection, must have been part of a larger series. In this case, it continues spreading the Marian theme.
Coronation of The Virgin with Holy Trinity (1700/1800) by AnonymousMuseo Pedro de Osma
Only for enrichment purposes, simple applications of gold are used in this scene of the Coronation of the Virgin.
Divine Wine Press (1700/1800) by AnonymousMuseo Pedro de Osma
Here Christ appears in a symbolic theme of the Passion cycle -the Mystic Press-, which was popular throughout the Americas.
The origin of the iconography meaning the Source of Life is found in sixteenth-century religious literature, although it has medieval antecedents.
