Summary

• Catalogue of the the Charcas Colonial Museum housed in the House of the Gran Poder of the Universidad Mayor, Real y Pontificia de San Franciasco Javier de Chuqusiaca, located in the city of Sucre, Bolivia. The museum houses an outstanding collection of viceregal art. Paintings by European Mannerist and baroque masters as well as mestizo masterpieces from the Charcas, Potosi and Cuzco schools are displayed alongside famous local masters like Melchor Pérez de Holguín and Gaspar Miguel de Berrio. The museum also features silverware, sculptures as well as 17th to 19th century furniture. "With the arrival of religious orders of proven missionary and doctrinal reputation to the lands of the newly established Viceroyalty of Peru (1544), an intense process of evangelization began in the Real Audiencia de Charcas. The settlement of Franciscan convents in the urban periphery - next to the parishes of Indians - and that of Dominicans, Mercedarians and Jesuits in the civic center, allowed both settlers and criollos, as the indigenous population, they had visual access to the mysteries of the Catholic faith and to the uplifting life of its saints and martyrs through images of sought emotional impact." --Page 15.
