Harvard Art Museums has organized the exhibition “From the Andes to the Caribbean: American Art from the Spanish Empire.”

It comprises Spanish colonial paintings of religious and secular subjects from present-day Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela, together with works on paper and design objects made with Cuban and Honduran mahogany, Mexican cochineal, and Peruvian silver.

All have been drawn from the Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation and from Harvard University’s own holdings.
