Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Paipaya y Rio Blanco
The statue of Our Lady of the Rosary, patroness of the Argentinian province Jujuy.
An anonymous Austrian trompe-l’oeil painting of the miraculous image of Maria Hilf.
The image of Mary is surrounded by several references to death: an engraving of Christ as the Man of Sorrows, a skull and an hourglass. The rosary on the wall is a reference to prayer and repentance.
The arrangement of objects make the painting a piece of ‘memento mori’ art, reminding those who look at it of their mortality.
