Los ingenios del pincel

This research arises from the conformation- of almost two decades of research focused on the "digital collection" of colonial paintings -which amounts to 19,500 images-, from all over the American geography and temporarily linked to the three centuries of the so-called "colonial period". The analysis of this large number of images, scarce, according to the author, "in terms of the volume of what must have existed on the continent", has allowed to open a new horizon of inquiry in terms of what it represents to configure and analyze a "colonial art gallery " from the conveniences that new technologies offers.
