Virtual Student Guide Tour: The Hybridity of Hispanic Art

One of the works Brandon Calderón will discuss is Pantoja de la Cruz’s painting Philip III of Spain (c. 1605).

Brandon Calderón explores how Hispanic art emerged from a mixture of Spanish colonization and the resistance of Indigenous traditions.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Brandon Calderón ’23 will explore how Hispanic art emerged from a mixture of violent Spanish colonization and the resistance of Indigenous traditions and testimony. Starting with Indigenous pottery from the Moche civilization of ancient Peru and ending with a 17th-century carved crucifix likely from the colonial Spanish Philippines, Calderón will stress the agency of “New World artists” and how they worked within and against the Spanish Empire.
