"Unusual anthology of essays by different authors examines myth and symbolism in visual arts and literature during Spanish colonial period. Introduction by Henrique Urbano surveys research methods on the study of signs and symbols and their meaning. Focused essays represent solid models of iconographic analysis and interpretation. Topics dealing with paintings include 'Las túnicas incas en la pintura colonial' by Iriarte; 'La representación en el siglo XVI: la imagen colonial del Inca' by Cummins; 'El arte de la nobleza inca y la identidad andina' by Stastny; and 'La plástica colonial y sus relaciones con la Gran Rebelión' by Estenssoro. Suggestive architectural study by Barnes, 'Un análisis de la iconografía y la arquitectura andina en una iglesia colonial: San Cristóbal de Pamachiri (Apurímac-Perú),' investigates continuity of Inca traditions during early Spanish colonial period. All essays include extensive footnotes, good illustrations, and useful bibliographies"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58
