Measuring an impressive 75.375" x 53.125" (76" x 53.75" framed), the sheer scale of this oil on canvas suggests it was originally commissioned for a prominent architectural space such as a nave wall or as an altar screen in a colonial estate or convent.

The Two Trinities: The composition masterfully balances the Earthly Trinity (Mary, Joseph, and the Christ Child) on their terrestrial journey with the Heavenly Trinity looking down from the clouds above, a classic viceregal iconographic device that bridges the human and the divine.

Brocateado: The robes of the sacred figures are adorned with intricate, delicate gold-leaf detailing applied flatly over the canvas. This technique did more than display luxury; to the Andean viewer, the radiance of gold was deeply tied to Inti (the Sun Deity), beautifully sacralizing the image.

Cultural Syncretism: While the subject matter is strictly biblical (Matthew 2:19-23), the background landscape features the subtle, lush topography of the Peruvian valleys rather than the Middle East, grounding the sacred narrative directly into the viceregal world.
