Full Description
Designed for use by teachers, students and scholars, the bilingual and interactive Vistas DVD and companion website introduce readers to the visual culture of colonial Spanish America. Examining works of high art as well as the material culture of daily life, Vistas explores the cross-pollination and cultural diversity that defined the colonial period in the wake of the Spanish conquest of indigenous America. Offering an unprecedented wealth of visual material, Vistas includes access to a gallery of over three hundred high-resolution annotated images, a collection with a range and richness unavailable from any other source.
