Provenance

Private collection, Spain

Our Lady of Refuge, a Marian title originating from Italy, and which over the years became popular in other parts of the world, largely thanks to the dissemination carried out by religious missionaries. The advocation itself was created and popularized by Antonio Baldinucci (1665 – 1717) who, according to Father Francisco de Florencia, “deseaba  grandemente tener una imagen de la Santíssima Virgen, que fuera su Compañera, Guía y Maestra en las Missiones. Para esto llamó a un pintor de los menos afamados de Roma, y habiéndole dado la idea, consiguió con sus oraciones que saliesse la imagen tan perfecta que tuvieron mucho que celebrar y admirar los Maestros más acreditados en el arte de la pintura”.
