This discovery planted a seed that grew into Jaime Cuadriello's landmark work \u003ci\u003eLas glorias de la República de Tlaxcala\u003c\/i\u003e, now available in English for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In 1789 don Ignacio Mazihcatzin, the Indian pastor of Yehualtepec, commissioned noted regional artist José Manuel Yllanes to do a set of oil paintings for his parish church. As a formal record of inquiry and approval between don Ignacio and the bishop of Puebla, the document includes depositions about the prospective paintings and watercolor sketches of them. From this material, art historian Cuadriello reconstructs both mythic and historic events in Tlaxcala's collective memory, providing an extensively contextualized study of art, society, religion, and history in eighteenth-century New Spain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In its broad scope, the book reaches far beyond a mere deciphering of the symbolism of iconic images to provide a new social history of art for colonial Mexico. It will appeal to art historians, historians of colonial Latin America, and scholars interested in how indigenous communities took the initiative, through a mythic and prophetic discourse, to negotiate and claim their own place within New Spain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jaime Cuadriello\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292723601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292723603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Jaime Cuadriello","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43913557704959,"sku":"9780292723603","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b228e8be-337e-4c33-84ac-88b5bb338660.jpg?v=1680621042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-glories-of-the-republic-jaime-cuadriello-9780292723603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
