Peru Mestizo: Life and Art in a Colonial Kingdom


The encounter of Francisco Pizarro and the Inca in the Andean highlands of Peru changed everything-forever. It led to a new people, a new culture, a new Christianity, an American synthesis of vision and values, and a unique school of art that flourished for three centuries. You are now invited to a very special encounter of your own with Peru Mestizo: Life and Art in a Colonial Kingdom.
