  • Cuzco - Refers to the style of painting that emerged from Peruvian painters of various ethnic origins active in Cuzco from the 16th to the 19th centuries. It is characterized by the use of indigenous traditions influenced by Netherlandish Late Gothic Art. Dramatic chiaroscuro painters in the Cuzco style were often Indians taught by Spanish masters. Later, Indian painters began to work in styles independent from Spanish and Creole traditions under the patronage of local leaders, abandoning European perspective and favoring flat compositions filled with gilded nature and Incan motifs.
