Description

This collection analyzes the evolution of the European gaze on overseas territories between the 16th and 19th centuries. From the epic of the conquest to the Enlightened scientific expeditions, the collection brings together key pieces such as the engravings of Teodoro de Bry, the plates from the Malaspina expedition, and the works of Humboldt. These documents, which fuse art and ethnographic rigor, are pillars of Spanish-American visual heritage. Through the representation of human types, exotic flora, and historical cartography, the collection documents the cultural encounter and the construction of a continental identity, consolidating the visual narrative of Hispanic expansion across America, Africa, and the Philippines.
