art history
Master of Calamarca:
This painting is about a guy with a gun, he's supposed to be an archangel. It contradicts the traditions of indigenous cultures because angels are kind of a christian thing, so that seems to go against the indigenous cultures. I think that this is pretty interesting because of how this guy is dressed, he looks like royalty--but not like an angel. It's also contradicting that he has the angel wings but is holding a gun. Screen with the Siege of Belgrade and Hunting Scene: It looks like in this painting there is a fight going on, like they are storming a town. I guess it's about a battle of some sort. I think it blends with the indigenous culture because the screen thing was more common back then. I think the way the people and animals in this painting are shown, they look very interesting and different. Virgin of Guadalupe: The subject of this piece of art is the Virgin Mary, also know as the Virgin of Guadalupe. The artwork is kind of contradictory because the Spanish people who came to colonize brought their style of art over. I think that this piece is interesting because even thought the style is pretty different from what I was expecting I still knew exactly who it was before I even read the name. It's one of those things that you can usually recognize her, because of the shroud, and the blue, and her praying hands. Spaniard and Indian Produce a Mestizo: It appears that the subject of this piece of art is some people reading over something. It's two women and a very short man, possibly he's on his knees, they seem to be looking at something important. It seems to be a traditional looking painting, but it also seems to have a more Spanish look to it. I think it's interesting that it can have both cultures influencing this painting.
