Description

The Denver Art Museum counts among its greatest resources a world-renowned Spanish Colonial collection rich in art from far and wide Latin The us. Initiated in 1936, the Spanish Colonial collection has grown dramatically over time to include more than 3,000 objects. It is the most efficient collection of its type in america, and in many areas, it’s the most comprehensive collection outdoor the country of origin. The museum’s Spanish Colonial galleries include significant paintings, sculpture, furniture, silver, and decorative arts from the period.

This lavishly illustrated volume—the first ever devoted to the museum’s Spanish Colonial collection as a whole—serves as a primer to this stellar art collection, framing it within the historical context of the early modern world and the first era of global trade. Organized by theme reasonably than chronology, it features photographs of more than 100 objects from all areas of Spanish The us and the southwestern United States. Subjects discussed include, but don’t seem to be limited to, the continuity of native traditions, church and mission art, hybrid art forms, regional styles, and the art of on a regular basis life.
