Title: Pintura virreinal en los Andes
Description: More than fifty representative works of the active workshops in Cuzco and its region between the 17th and 18th centuries, together with some examples of Spanish painting and other South American regional schools. The collection of Celso Pastor de la Torre (1914-2009), gathered throughout an intense life as a lawyer, diplomat and politician in the service of Peru, constitutes a collection of first importance for the knowledge of Andean viceregal painting. "Pastor focused his interest in the Cuzco school, considering it one of the most relevant cultural expressions of the society that emerged in the Andes after the Spanish conquest," explains curator Wuffarden.
