For the other side of the mirror, the beautiful architecture, sculptures and paintings hide histories about wars and blood. For example, some ancien spanish paintings in the Britain Museum are fascinanting, but behind of the canvas is the death of too many people that died with the American conquest. In spite, before, in the middle age, the spanish art was outshine for the islamic art, but with the Spain discovered America, the Empire of Spain turned in the center of art. A painter that represents this period was Velasquez, whose painting most famous until our days is The Meninas, but a painting that reflected this time is Christ in the house of Martha and Mary in the National Gallery.
For the other hand, others paintings show the intensity of the catolic religious in the Inquisicion period. These paintings have too much realism, but is a cruel realism because it shows scenes about the crucifixion, pales faces, injured painted very red and body too thin. An exemple about this style is the Zurbaran painter, whose paintings are a mix of mimesis with the reality, so he created strangest effects that had to feel the catolic mysticism.
This art shows not only the american domination, but also it represents the domination in the european cultures. So, for this reason, I think that the art is very important for to study in the antrophology because, in the time where in Europ there were too much illiterate people, and in America there wasn't writting, the art, and above all the visual art was a main form for to christianize and to dominate. In conclusion, in the Spanish Empire the catolic art, down the Cross figure, it hides a hegemony history where the Church and the Monarchy together, were the domination voice on the vanquishes.

hi coni!!! mmm, although i am not very interest in art, i do agree with you (or this news) about the relevance that has expressions like these to represents a historic period.
ResponderEliminarIs curious that things like arts, that seem so pure, have so many importance to governments. Don’t you think?
The great empires have produced great and beautiful art, but the truth behind this art is that these empires have histories about cruel regimens and domination on others areas.
