  • 1806.04.23/ maison de ventes : Cassano (Alexander). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A very large Peruvian Painting This great piece of art is extremely curious, and it may justly be said unique; it was destined for the Court of Madrid; but it was intercepted on board the St. Jago Register Ship, bound from Lima to Cadiz, in 1793, by the General Dumourier French Privateer, and re-captured by a British Squadron. It represents the Indian Festival at Lima, the Capital of Peru, on the occasion of the Accession of Charles IV. the present Sovereign, to the Throne of Spain. By the inscription at the top it appears, that this festival in honour of His Catholic Majesty, cost upwards of forty thousand piastres; the Indians having endeavoured to render it as splendid as possible. For this purpose they have introduced into the Procession whatever tradition has handed down to them relative to their ancestors before the Spanish conquest; such as the Costume of the Inca and his Queen, that of the Virgins of the Sun, of the Female Warriors, or Amazons, &c. The magnificent Cars contain emblematical figures representing the Goddess of Peru, Minerva, &c. &c. Among the Spectators who are seated to view the Procession, and who compose the different classes of the inhabitants of Lima, the Viceroy is seen above in the centre, accompanied by his Court, and in his front the Viceroyal Guards. On the right side of the Painting, the Archbishop of Lima appears, surrounded by his Clergy. These are, together with many others, genuine portraits, and pencilled with great precision by the untutored Indian artist. It would be difficult to describe all the various objects contained in this Picture, which has no rival in England, and is highly interesting in an historical point of view (Peruvian)|A very large Peruvian Painting This great piece of art is extremely curious, and it may justly be said unique; it was destined for the Court of Madrid; but it was intercepted on board the St. Jago Register Ship, bound from Lima to Cadiz, in 1793, by the General Dumourier French Privateer, and re-captured by a British Squadron.
