The Cuzco School was a style of religious painting by Spanish, mixed-blood, and Indian artists featuring Earth colors, a lack of depth, and distorted images, designed to win converts among Incas unused to European styles. The warrior angel was popular in “Cuzquena” works, and here the colorful canvas displays splendid armor and Incan royal plumage. A Mixed-Media painting from Art Chateau.
