El Crucifijo
A gilded wooden crucifix hangs suspended above the nave of La Merced, one of Lima's oldest colonial churches, its crossbar casting a wide horizontal line against the painted vaults overhead. Behind it, the baroque altar glows at the end of the nave — gold leaf and blue enamel framed by an arched apse — while the ceiling repeats its pattern of crimson triangles, circles, and geometric tilework across every surface.
La Merced traces its origins to 1535, the year Lima was founded, and its interior bears the full weight of that history. This image captures the two great presences of the space in a single frame: the crucifix in the foreground and the altar at depth, connected by the painted ceiling vault between them. A significant architectural and devotional print for collectors drawn to sacred spaces and colonial heritage.
Printed with pigment-based inks for lasting quality and rich tonal depth. Available on archival fine art paper, canvas, or metal.
