The
Archangel Gabriel was chosen by the Lord to announce to the Virgin Mary,
and through her to all mankind, the great joy of the Incarnation of the
Son of God. Therefore, on the day following the Annunciation, on which the
Most-pure Virgin is glorified, Catholics thank the Lord and honor His
messenger, who performed service in the mystery of their salvation.
There
is no doubt that one of the most important artistic manifestations during
the viceroyalty epoch was paints. It was given through a process of
cross-cultural influence. The art arrived with the conquerors was not
really Spanish. This art was more of a Flemish or Sevillian nature, and
precisely within the process of blending the foreign and the native, is
where a new and absolutely singular artistic blend is born - new and
mestizo art. The main characteristic of their canvases is its religious
themes that are given through the merge of European technique and
indigenous contribution. In Cuzco, the natives assimilated the patterns of
the new art and some of them that worked by commission from the church and
convents, obviously used religious motifs such as virgins, angels and
archangels. Because of this process and the emphasis to the development of
the arts given by the church, the flourishing of the Cuzcan culture came
in the late seventeen century and gave bird to what is now renown as the
Cuzcan School.
