Description
The present book is an important reference to understand the social conditions of the novohispanic artists of the 16th century as well as their relationships with the different levels of the artistic patronages. Author Cuesta analyses in detail his life, academic formation, architectural legacy and influence of Spanish architect, artist and sculptor, Claudio de Arciniega, (b. Burgos, Spain 1520 - d. México 1593), considered the most prestigious "Alerife" (architect) of the 16th century in colonial Mexico and who introduced the Renaissance style in the architecture of the viceregal buildings. Arciniega was a key figure in the stylistic evolution of the architectonic forms in Nueva Espaa, although he is mostly remembered as the architect the Cathedral of Mexico City and possibly many more (Puebla).
