The products of this unique civilization include some of the virtually lavish and visually arresting works of art and architecture in the earth.
In this lively overview of the tremendously rich and varied artistic output of the surface area from southern Chile to northern California, Gauvin Alexander Bailey discusses viceregal and missionary every bit well as civic and rural compages, alongside religious and secular painting, sculpture, metalwork, textiles and ceramics.
