Latin American Collection

Joslyn's small but notable collection of Spanish colonial art reflects the influence of Spanish missionaries on indigenous artists in the 16th- to 19th-centuries, particularly in Mexico and Bolivia. Joslyn's holdings, including an Our Lady of Guadalupe retablo and a travelling scroll by José María Hernández, exemplify the distinct Spanish Colonial style--a combination of European composition and Christian symbolism with traditional indigenous imagery, style, and palette.
