Abstract
AbstractThis article examines depictions of Christian angels in Iberian America in the early modern era. It explores a wide range of primary textual and visual sources in order to examine the following issues: the cultural interaction and strategies of accommodation; material and artistic exchange; the reach of the concept of hybridity; and Iberian visual networks. Angels in the Hispanic world have been studied primarily from an iconographic perspective, and their indigenous features have only rarely been analysed. This study discusses the conception and representation of the Indianized angel both verbally and visually in different locations in the Mexican, Andean, Guaraní and Californian missions, and the reconfigurations of identity that emerged in those contexts.
