The Miracle of the Roses

78A
Artist
Benoît Thiboust (b. 1619)
Title
The Miracle of the Roses
Date
1661-1671. The caption in this engraving mentions Antonio Gonzáles Acuña and the Master General of the Ordinis Socius (or Order of Preachers). And it does not describe Rose as beata or sancta, but only as venerabilis. See Note 3 below.
Medium
Engraving. Painted (invented) and designed by Lazzaro Baldi (1624-1703). A sketch for the painting has been proposed.
Photo Source
Academia Colecciones, Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando.
Note 1
There is another version of this engraving, but it omits the two figures to the right of the Madonna.
Note 2
The caption on this print reads: SVPREMO INTIMI REGALIS CONSILII INDIARVM SENATVI / Hoc Venerabilis Sororis ROSAE de MARIA, Virg(is) Peruanae (quam Regum Ciuitas Lima enixu feliciss(o) / progenuit, fouit, aluit, Ordo S. Dominici vestijt rigauit, excoluit, Caelum Sanctimonia, fauore / prodigijs illustrauit humile de florulentum ectypon D·D·C / P. M(r) F. Antonius Gonçalez de Acuna Limensis, Magistri Generalis eiusdem Ordinis Socius.
Note 3
In 1661, Giovanni Battista de Marinis, then Master of the Order of Preachers, confirmed fellow Dominican Antonio Gonzales Acuña as promotor of the cause for the canonization of Rose of Lima. Rose was beatified in 1668 and canonized in 1671. The status of venerabilis is prior to that of beata. The date for this work might thus fall between 1661 and 1668.
