Book synopsis

Painting in Latin America, 1550-1820: From Conquest to Independence surveys the diverse styles, subjects and iconography of painting in Latin America between the 16th and 19th centuries. While European art forms were widely disseminated, copied and adapted throughout Latin America, colonial painting is not a derivative extension of Europe. The ongoing debate over what to call it - mestizo, hybrid, creole, indo-hispanic, tequitqui - testifies to a fundamental yet unresolved question of identity. Comparing and contrasting the Viceroyalties of New Spain, with its centre in modern-day Mexico, and Peru, the authors explore the very different ways the two regions responded to the influence of the Europeans and their art. A wide range of art and artists are considered, some for the first time. Rich with new photography and primary research, this book delivers a wealth of new insight into the history of images and the history of art.
