xxvii, 276 p., 32 p. of plates ill. ; 26 cm. Kelly Donahue Wallace surveys the art and architecture created in the Spanish Viceroyalties of New Spain, Peru, New Granada, and La Plata from the time of the conquest to the independence era. Emphasizing the viceregal capitals and their social, economic, religious, and political contexts, the author offers a chronological review of the major objects and monuments of the colonial era -- In order to present fundamental differences between the early and later colonial periods, works are offered chronologically and separated by medium painting, urban planning, religious architecture, and secular art so the aspects of production, purpose, and response associated with each work are given full attention. Primary documents, including wills, diaries, and guild records are placed throughout the text to provide a deeper appreciation of the contexts in which the objects were made -- Contents: List of Figures X -- Preface XV -- Note On Translations and Terms XVIII -- Introduction XIX -- Chapter One Architecture and Sculpture at the Missions 1 -- Chapter Two Painting in Sixteenth Century New Spain and Peru 34 -- Chapter Three Colonial Cities 72 -- Chapter Four Religious architecture and altarscreens circa 1600-1700 100 -- Chapter Five Religious art 1600-1785 133 -- Chapter Six Architecture and altarscreens circa 1700-1800 164 -- Chapter Seven Secular painting circa 1600-1800 200 -- Chapter Eight Art and Architecture at the End of the Colonial Era 224 -- Notes 243 -- Glossary 258 -- Bibliography 262 -- Index 272 -- Kelly Donahue-Wallace.
