Abstract
Este artículo tiene como objetivo mostrar algunas de las transferencias culturales y artísticas del mundo americano a la Península Ibérica durante el período barroco tomando como ejemplo la ciudad de Écija. El intercambio comercial y social de la época generó la creación de un nuevo imaginario de formas como se demuestra en la Capilla de los Montero, en la Iglesia de Santiago de dicha ciudad. En este mismo espacio religioso se funden distintas representaciones del mundo mesoamericano, con imágenes y relatos de la visión concepcionista que empezaba a gestarse. Esta combinación evidencia el profundo mestizaje cultural que se iniciaba en el entorno andaluz de aquellos siglos.
The aim of this article is to show some of the cultural and artistic transfers from the American world to the Iberian Peninsula during the Baroque period taking Écija¿s city as an example. The commercial and social exchange of the epoch generated the creation of new imaginary forms such as the one demonstrated in the indigenous Chapel of Montero, in the Church of Santiago. Located at the same religious site, there are different representations of the Indo-American world, with images and statements surrounding the vision of the Immaculate Conception that began to develop in the XVII century. This combination of indigenous and Catholic images demonstrates the deep cultural fusions that were emerging within Andalusia at that time.
