Basilica Catedral

Interesting tour of the Basilica here in Cuzco. There is a famous art school here and it's work is all over Peru. The paintings/sculptures are described as "Andean Baroque", and we're painted in the era of the Renaissance, and in much the same style. The artwork is all original, and the painters were largely Quechuan. But, because the painters were a conquered people, there are often hidden Inca symbols. In a very famous last supper representation, the face of Judas was a likeness of Pizarro. Subtle resistance. Sadly, no photos of the artwork permitted.Læs mere
