This beautifully illustrated catalogue showcases 126 Spanish and
Portuguese artworks from the 17th and 18th centuries, all
highlights from the dazzling collection of Roberta and Richard
Huber. Featuring works in a variety of mediums and from far-flung
places, including paintings, silver, and furniture from South
America and sculptures in ivory from the Spanish Philippines and
from Portuguese territories in India. Distinguished experts shed
light on these significant objects, many of which have not been
previously published and which illustrate the unparalleled artistic
exchanges between and within these colonial empires. The Andean
painters Melchor Perez Holguin (1660-1732) and Gaspar Miguel de
Berrio (c. 1706-c. 1762) inventively interpreted European
iconographies, while similar adaptations took place in Asia, where
native craftsmen, carved Christian images in ivory. These works
traveled along the trade routes connecting Europe to Asia and the
Americas, thus influencing the development of a new visual culture.
