The complex artistic achievements of over three hundred years of creation in the Iberian colonial world (about a third of the earth’s surface) were for all intents and purposes shelved at the beginning of the nineteenth...

More than a century before chinoiserie took hold in Europe, colonial societies in Spanish and Portuguese America were captivated by the arts of Japan,...
