ORIGENES Y DESARROLLO DEL ARTE QUITEÑO COLONIAL

This presentation will include a chronological perspective of the Ecuadorian art and cultural evolution during the centuries. The images presented will include early objects from the Formative Period, the Development Period, the Integration Period, colonial art and artists Bernardo Legarda and Manuel Chili, known as Caspicara, and la Escuela Quiteña. A significant portion of this presentation will include images of art from the Museo del Banco Central del Ecuador.

The images will be presented by Ximena Reyes, an executive administrative assistant, and a Guide for the Museum from the Banco Central del Ecuador.
Lectures of the Colonial Art will be delivered to students within and outside classroom settings. Academic departments are collaborating with this project to involve students in this learning opportunity. Professor Kenneth Andrien, Chair of the History Department, and an expert in Ecuador, will be instrumental in these presentations.
