European painters in the 16th Century America. His move to the viceroyalty of New Spain

Abstract

Una de las principales características de la plástica indiana a lo largo del siglo XVI es la interesante asimilación de las tendencias procedentes del continente europeo, las cuales arribaron a los virreinatos gracias al fecundo comercio artístico transatlántico, así como a la llegada de artífices formados en las escuelas del Viejo Continente que acabaron desarrollando su producción en tierras americanas. En este artículo, a partir de la consulta de fuentes primarias e impresas, planteamos un breve estudio en torno algunos de estos creadores pictóricos que decidieron embarcarse rumbo a América, analizando sus motivos de partida, el modo en el que llegaron a los territorios donde se establecieron, las obras que allí ejecutaron y cómo éstas pudieron influir en los autores locales, generando de esta manera un verdadero intercambio cultural.One of the main characteristics of the “indiana” plastic throughout the sixteenth century is the interesting assimilation of artistic trends from the European continent, which arrived at the viceroyalties thanks to the fertile transatlantic trade, as well as the arrival of artists trained in the schools of the Old Continent that ended up developing their production in American lands. In this article, from the consultation of primary and printed sources, a brief study is proposed about some of these pictorial creators who decided to ship for America, analyzing their reasons for leaving, the way in wich arrived in the territories where they established, the works performed there, and how they could influence to local artists, thus generating a true cultural exchange
