Converging Cultures
No Customer Reviews
The conquest of Mexico by Cortex in 1521 and of Peru by Pizarro in 1532 brought two native American civilizations under the control and influence of the Spanish crown. The course of the Spanish occupation of these countries for four centuries gave rise to a new Latin American way of life. Using examples of works from the collection at the Brooklyn Museum, this book studies the gradual fusion of these very different cultures as evidenced in books, paintings, sculpture, furniture, textiles and other artefacts of everyday life in Spanish America from the Pre-Columbian period to the 19th century.
