In 2014 the Denver Art Museum held a symposium hosted by the
Frederick and Jan Mayer Center for Pre-Columbian and Spanish
Colonial Art and co-organized by Donna Pierce and Emily Ballew
Neff, Director of the Brooks Museum, Memphis. They assembled an
international group of scholars to present recent research on
portraiture in the Spanish colony of New Spain (Mexico) and the
British colonies of North America. This volume presents revised and
expanded versions of papers presented at the symposium. Michael
Schreffler (University of Notre Dame) opens the volume with a
discussion of portraits of Cortés and Moctezuma in
sixteenth-century New Spain. Clare Kunny (Art Muse, Los Angeles)
examines portraits of Antonio de Mendoza (1490-1552), the first
viceroy of Mexico. Susan Rather (University of Texas, Austin)
analyzes portraiture in colonial British America and landscapes
included in them. Karl Kusserow (Princeton University Art Museum)
explores selfhood and surroundings in British American portraits.
Paula Mues Orts (National School of Conservation, Mexico) examines
the portrait series commissioned and displayed in colonial Mexico
by religious and civic organizations as a claim to power and
prestige. James Middleton (independent scholar, New York) discusses
clothing and accessories in New Spanish portraiture that allow a
more precise dating of works. Jennifer Van Horn (George Mason
University) follows the trans-Atlantic travels of portraitist
Joseph Blackburn from England to New England and Bermuda. Kaylin
Weber (Museum of Fine Arts, Houston) explores the career of
American Benjamin West and his trans-Atlantic move from Boston to
London. Elizabeth Kornhauser (Metropolitan Museum of Art) addresses
the portraits of New England painter Ralph Earl, who struggled to
fashion a new style for the young American republic. Michael Brown
(San Diego Museum of Art) closes the volume by comparing the fate
of portraits from New England and New Spain in nineteenth- and
early twentieth-century America.
