P., Nuno Senos, Edward J. Sullivan, and Marjorie Trusted. By the
end of the 16th century, Europe, Africa, and Asia were connected to
North and South America via a vast network of complex trade routes.
This led, in turn, to dynamic cultural exchanges between these
continents and a proliferation of diverse art forms in Latin
America. This monumental book transcends geographic boundaries and
explores the history of the confluence of styles, materials, and
techniques among Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas through the
end of the colonial era--a period marked by the independence
movements, the formation of national states, and the rise of
academic art. Written by distinguished international scholars,
essays cover a full range of topics, including city planning,
iconography in painting and sculpture, East-West connections, the
power of images, and the role of the artist. Beautifully
illustrated with over 450 works-many published for the first
time-this book presents a spectacular selection of decorative arts,
textiles, silver, sculpture, painting, and furniture. Scholarly
entries on some three hundred works highlight the various cultural
influences and differences throughout this vast region. This
groundbreaking book also includes an illustrated chronology,
informative maps, and an exhaustive bibliography and is sure to set
a new standard in the field of Latin American studies. Published in
association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Antiguo Colegio de
San Ildefonso, Mexico City, and the Los Angeles County Museum of
