KEY IDEAS

Colonial Latin America: mix of indigenous art forms with European materials
Influences of subject matter and forms from Asia and Africa
Subject matter does vary: religious, portraits, history, genre scenes
Resembles art from Spain and southern Europe
Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492 = conquest --> colonization!
Europe brought disease which wiped out much of the Aztecs and Native Americans
Children born of Spanish and Native Americans are called mestizos
Spanish heavily desired gold, silver, crops
Patronage: Spanish commissioned Native Americans = Catholicism with Native American traditions
Artists: Many are anonymous, the point was to not have fame and glory
