EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting, titled "Descripciòn e zerro rico e imperial villa de Potosì" by Gaspar Miguel de Berrio, offers a captivating description of the Cerro Rico hill and the imperial city of Potosì in present-day Bolivia. Painted in 1758, this colonial baroque masterpiece showcases the grandeur and wealth of Potosì during the Spanish colonial era. The city, nestled at the foot of the Cerro Rico hill, was renowned for its silver mines, which made it one of the most prosperous cities in the world at the time. The painting depicts the hill in a horizontal format, with the city sprawling out below. The hill is prominently featured, its rich, red-brown terrain contrasting sharply with the vibrant greens and blues of the landscape. The imperial villa, with its grand architecture and ornate details, stands proudly at the heart of the city. The intricate facades of the buildings are adorned with intricate designs and ornate decorations, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Spanish colonial period. This painting is now housed in the Charcas Museum (University Museum Colonial and Anthropological) in Sucre, Bolivia. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region and a reminder of the historical significance of Potosì as a center of commerce, culture, and power during the colonial era. The painting's vivid colors and intricate details transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and a deeper understanding of the history and culture of Bolivia.
