José Núñez de Sotomayor

Peru

José Núñez de Sotomayor is a Peru artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Lima Art Museum.

José Núñez de Sotomayor painted portraits of powerful figures in late 1700s Peru. This artist’s brush captured the Bishop of Huamanga in 1795, oil on canvas, stiff lace and deep blacks showing status and faith. Look for the careful folds in the bishop’s robe, the quiet stare. Tap the bishop’s portrait to zoom in on the lacework and the book in his hands.
