Sinopsis


The Mobile Image explores the vibrant world of printmaking in colonial South America, revealing how locally produced prints from Lima shaped religious devotion, cultural identity, and artistic exchange across the Viceroyalty of Peru and beyond. Rather than focusing on European imports, this groundbreaking study uncovers the rich history of Lima’s own print culture and its influence on both regional communities and international audiences. Through hundreds of rediscovered devotional prints, Emily C. Floyd examines how these affordable, portable images circulated in books and as individual sheets, spreading iconic representations of the Virgin Mary, Christ, and Andean saints while redefining perceptions of the sacred landscape. The book also challenges traditional interpretations of race, identity, and visual culture in colonial Latin America, offering fresh insights into the artists, patrons, and collectors behind these remarkable works. An essential resource for scholars, students, and readers interested in colonial art, Latin American history, print culture, and religious imagery.
