This volume seeks to bring together two related fields of study: on the one hand, that which explores the shared visual and material cultures between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America, and, on the other hand, that which studies the artistic connections between Spain and Spanish Italy.

Summary

For several centuries, both the Spanish viceroyalties of Southern Italy— the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily—and those of Central and South America were tied to the same colonial system. This book explores the artistic entanglements and shared visual and material cultures between these worlds, thereby looking at the circulation of people, artworks, objects, and materials, as well as connected religious phenomena.
