A one-day workshop on the art of colonial Latin America that will bring together, in-person, a small group of scholars from different latitudes to Tulane’s historic campus. During our day together, we will present short papers and discuss ideas on the topic “Beyond the Retablo: Overlooked Sculpture in Colonial Latin America.” The rationale is this: across Latin America, the best-known sculptures are those found in original contexts, such as the church retablo and facades.

At the time of the Spanish Conquest, Aztec Tenochtitlan in Central Mexico was one of the most populous cities in the world, a city the Conquistadors themselves said was "like an enchanted vision", a city of grand pyramids, plazas, palaces, marketplaces, and hydraulic works surrounded by vast numbers of houses of its inhabitants and their gardens. In fact Tenochititlan was only the latest of many urban societies that flourished in what we call Middle America or Mesoamerica before the arrival of the Spanish.
