Sinopsis
This richly illustrated volume showcases 158 full-color, high-quality reproductions of Colonial Andean paintings from the Cusco School, presented in a large-format edition. Organized into thematic sections, the book explores the recurring iconography, religious traditions, and artistic expressions that define colonial art in the Cusco region. Highlights include the complete 17th-century Corpus Christi series, one of the most celebrated pictorial cycles in Peruvian colonial art, and the full Zodiac Series by the renowned Indigenous master Diego Quispe Tito, reproduced together for the first time in a single publication. The volume also features previously unpublished works by Italian painter Bernardo Bitti, a key figure in the introduction of Renaissance art to Peru. Concluding chapters examine themes such as Indigenous representation, genealogy, landscapes, nature, and the depiction of the human figure in Colonial Andean painting.
