In this beautifully illustrated volume, an international group of
scholars present recent research on the movement of goods, art, and
artists - and the circulation of ideas and ideologies - that shaped
culture in Spanish America from the beginning of the sixteenth
century to the first half of the nineteenth century. Their essays,
now revised and expanded, were originally presented in 2016 at the
annual symposium of the Frederick and Jan Mayer Center for
Pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial Art at the Denver Art Museum,
organized by Jorge Rivas Perez. Monica Dominguez Torres (University
of Delaware) opens the volume by examining the early modern pearl
industry and trade in post-conquest Spanish America, and the
history of the short-lived town of Nueva Cadiz de Cubagua, off the
coast of Venezuela. Gustavo Curiel (Universidad Nacional Autonoma
de Mexico) discusses issues of reception, adoption, and
transformation of European print sources in the local production of
furniture in the village of San Ildefonso Villa Alta in Oaxaca,
Mexico. Esteban Garcia Brosseau (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de
Mexico) explores cultural and artistic exchanges between South
Asia, Southeast Asia, and Spanish America. Constanza Toquica (Museo
Colonial, Bogota) comments on the roles of specific images and
iconographies, and their contribution to the construction of the
colonial order in the viceroyalty of New Granada. Rosario Ines
Granados-Salinas (Blanton Museum of Art, Austin) explores the use
of devotional images as rhetorical devices in Spanish colonial
paintings. Rachael Zimmerman (University of Delaware) discusses the
use of hammocks as an honorary mode of transportation in colonial
Brazil. Idurre Alonso (Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles)
discusses the never-realized city of Ville du Port de Napoleon
(1807) in Hispaniola as a model where French and Spanish city
planning models intersect. Natalia Majluf (Museo de Arte de Lima,
Peru) focuses on the work of Peruvian portraitist of African
descent Jose Gil de Castro (1785-c. 1841), a key figure in the
rejuvenation of the arts during the years immediately following the
independence of Peru.
