I went to this exhibition of baroque art from Spain and Latin America on Saturday evening.
Just under sixty works from New York's Hispanic Society Museum & Library are on display at the UT-Austin's Blanton Museum.
The Blanton is open until 8:00 PM on Saturday evenings. I wish more museums were able to open after regular working hours.
I enjoyed and learned from the exhibition. although I was disappointed to see that there was no catalogue published especially for the exhibition.
In the thread, I will pick out three pictures that particularly caught my attention.

As a warm-up, enjoy this wonderful video on the interaction of indigenous maps from Mexico with maps from the Spaniards. Looking back into those contested colonial times may help to see the present times of popular uprising in Ecuador and Chile not only as moments of conflict also as moments of "creation, negotiation and reimagination". youtu.be/s4f6orxmS_k
