Description

The 17th century marks the zenith of the Hispanic American Baroque, a period where Counter-Reformation aesthetics merge with viceregal power structures. While Sevilla shines with Velázquez, Murillo, and Zurbarán, a monumental visual rhetoric flourishes in Nueva España and Perú. This collection brings together key works by masters such as Cristóbal de Villalpando and Melchor Pérez de Holguín, alongside documents that testify to the construction of cathedrals and the effervescence of artistic guilds. The collection is vital for visual heritage, as it illustrates the syncretism and the consolidation of a distinct identity that defined the cultural splendor of the Hispanic domains on both sides of the Atlantic.
