Here you can observe canvases made by Goribar and De la Cruz, some anonymous pieces from the Quito School and from Miguel de Santiago’s students. Furthermore there are four 18th century paintings by Bernardo Rodríguez. These paintings display the church’s four doctors, which are Saint Gregory, Saint Augustine, Saint Ambrose and Saint Jerome. |
The canvases are distinct by their spectacular use of the red, blue, white and above all, gold. The original frame of each one of the canvases has been completely restored.
You can also find an 18th century banner, made by an anonymous author on an oil blended canvas, embodying Saint Rose of Lima.
In this room there are various 18th century sculptures, characterized by their carved wood, stucco wood and polychrome painting, covered with gold leaf and with glass eyes.
The sculptures represent Saint Michael, Saint Raphael and Baby Jesus.
The 18th century Chorus Book is also found in this room. This book is made of parchment (lamb skin) with vegetable bases paints and is written by hand. It has a very heavy wooden cover, bound with leather. |
