Reviews

A book can be considered excellent when it not only answers questions but also poses many new ones. Hernandez-Duran's book is certainly one of these significant, generative contributions to scholarship. His capacity to connect detailed archival research to theoretical discussions in so many levels is admirable, and will be instrumental for future scholars, particularly those interested in Latin America. --Journal of Art Historiography Hernandez-Duran's book offers a solid account of the political and intellectual forces that contributed to the reassessment of colonial art in nineteenth-century Mexico. --History of Humanities
