Seller's Description:
Very Good jacket. Albuquerque. 2017. October 2017. University of New Mexico Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780826358172. Foreword by Richard Perry. 12 × 9. 370 duotones, 4 drawings, 9 maps, 1 chart. 320 pages. hardcover. keywords: Latin America Mexico Architecture Churches. DESCRIPTION-Following the Spanish conquest of Mexico in the early 1500s, Franciscan, Dominican, and Augustinian friars fanned out across the central and southern areas of the country, founding hundreds of mission churches and monasteries to evangelize the Native population. This book documents more than 120 of these remarkable sixteenth-century sites in duotone black-and-white photographs. Virtually unknown outside Mexico, these complexes unite architecture, landscape, mural painting, and sculpture on a grand scale, in some ways rivaling the archaeological sites of the Maya and Aztecs. They represent a fascinating period in history when two distinct cultures began interweaving to form the fabric of modern Mexico. Many were founded on the sites of ancient temples and reused their masonry, and they were ornamented with architectural murals and sculptures that owe much to the existing Native tradition-almost all the construction was done by indigenous artisans. With these photos, Spears celebrates this unique architectural and cultural heritage to help ensure its protection and survival. inventory #42020.
