СтатистикаSaint Francis Xavier
miguel cabrera (1695 – 1768)
Miguel Cabrera (1695-1768) was a leading Mexican Baroque painter renowned for his religious works, casta paintings depicting colonial society, and portraits like Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Explore the art of New Spain's most celebrated artist.
The Jesuit missionary, Saint Francis Xavier, was canonized in 1622. He was the second most depicted member of the Jesuit Order in Counterreformation art, after Saint Ignatius himself. In accordance with tradition, he is shown wearing a black habit, holding a scallop shell in his right hand and, in his left hand, a metal-spiked pilgrims staff. He is standing on a pedestal-like cloud and, at his feet, on the far left, two angels holding a baptismal font prostrate themselves, symbolizing his evangelical mission in the Orient, where he strove to gain converts to the Christian faith.
