This survey course offers an overview of the varied artistic cultures developed under the Spanish Empire during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, covering, besides the Iberian Peninsula, different parts of Europe and North and West Africa, the Spanish Americas, and a number of transpacific territories. In addition to exposing students to an astoundingly rich set of materials, it introduces them to key theoretical themes, such as Indigenous agency, borderlands and frontier territories, religious intolerance and coercion, cross-cultural exchange, resistance, racialization, and revisions of the center/periphery and hybridity/mestizaje models.
