The Cuzco School (''Escuela Cuzqueña'') was a Roman Catholic artistic tradition based in Cusco, Peru (the former capital of the Inca Empire) during the Colonial period, in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. It was not limited to Cuzco only, but spread to other cities in the Andes, as well as to present day Ecuador and Bolivia.〔 ==History== The tradition originated after the 1534 Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire,〔("The 'Cusquenha' Art." ) National Historical Museum of Brazil.〕 and it is considered the first artistic center that systematically taught European artistic techniques in the Americas.〔 The Cusqueña paintings were a form of religious art whose main purpose was didactic.〔 The Spanish, who aimed to convert the Incas to Catholicism, sent a group of religious artists to Cusco.〔 These artists formed a school for Quechua people and mestizos, teaching them drawing and oil painting.〔 The designation "Cusqueña," however, is not limited to the city of Cusco or to indigenous artists, as Spanish creoles participated in the tradition as well. A major patron of the Cuzco artists was Bishop Manuel de Mollinedo y Angulo, who collected European art and made his collection available to Peruvian artists. He promoted and financially assisted such Cusqueña artists such as Basilio Santa Cruz Pumacallao, Antonio Sinchi Roca Inka, and Marcos Rivera.〔Fane, p. 38〕 In 1688 Spanish-born and mestizo members of the Cuzco painting guild chose to break ranks with the Indian painters. This split led to the far more numerous Quechua Indian painters developing their own styles, based upon the latest European art works. They also created a tradition of painting Inca monarchs – a departure from Christian religious themes and an expression of cultural pride.〔Fane, pp. 39-40〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cuzco School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
