EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the revered figure of Nicolas Joaquin Arteta Calisto (1771-1849), the first archbishop of Quito in Ecuador. The image, painted during his tenure as bishop, depicts him seated in the chapter house of the Cathedral of Quito. He is dressed in the traditional attire of a Catholic bishop, wearing a cassock, biretta, and miter. The red pectoral cross adorns his chest, symbolizing his religious authority. The interior of the chapter house is elegantly furnished with a red velvet curtain, a cushioned footstool, and a document-filled table. The choir and the intricately carved wooden choir stalls can be seen in the background, adding to the sacred ambiance of the space. The artist has skillfully captured the sense of calm and contemplation on the face of Bishop Arteta Calisto, as he leans forward, perhaps in deep thought or prayer. The portrait offers a glimpse into the life of an important religious leader during the colonial period in Ecuador. Bishop Arteta Calisto played a significant role in the administration of the archdiocese and the spiritual wellbeing of the people of Quito. His legacy continues to be celebrated in the country's rich religious history.
