Book

Journeys to new worlds : Spanish and Portuguese colonial art in the Roberta and Richard Huber collection

Stratton-Pruitt, Suzanne L., 1943-, Castro, Mark A, Alcalâa, Luisa Elena, Philadelphia Museum of Art

Overview

This beautifully illustrated catalogue showcases 120 Spanish and Portuguese artworks from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, all highlights from the dazzling collection of Roberta and Richard Huber. Featuring works in a variety of mediums and from far-flung places, including paintings, silver, and furniture from South America and sculptures in ivory from the Spanish Philippines and from Portuguese territories in India. Distinguished experts shed light on these significant objects, many of which have not been previously published and which illustrate the unparalleled artistic exchanges between and within these colonial empires. The Andean painters Melchor Pâerez Holguâin and Gaspar Miguel de Berrâio inventively interpreted European iconographies, while similar adaptations took place in Asia, where native craftsmen, carved Christian images in ivory. These works traveled along the trade routes connecting Europe to Asia and the Americas, thus influencing the development of a new visual culture.
