Abstract

La pintura simulada fue una de las características del arte Barroco que migró a América durante la conquista española. La concepción de espacios irreales dentro de espacios físicos se dio en un contexto evangelizador en donde el culto al aire libre fue trasladado al interior de grandes construcciones con expresiones artísticas de tintes realistas, opuestas a la concepción indígena. Ante este panorama, la arquitectura simulada fue un elemento decorativo de las grandes iglesias que fungieron como modelo para las parroquias y capillas de poblaciones rurales con una mayor identidad indígena. Este caso es el de las pinturas murales de las capillas de la comunidad indígena de San Miguel, cuya iconografía obedece a la influencia de iglesias mayores en las que se muestra la arquitectura simulada como elemento importante.
Simulated painting was one of the characteristics of Baroque art that migrated to America during the Spanish conquest. The conception of unreal spaces within physical spaces took place in an evangelizing context where the cult of the open air was transferred to the interior of large constructions with artistic expressions of realistic dyes, opposed to the indigenous conception. Before this panorama, the simulated architecture was a decorative element of the great churches that served as a model for the parishes and chapels of rural populations with a greater indigenous identity. This case is that of the mural paintings of the family chapels of the indigenous community of San Miguel whose iconography obeys the influence of major churches in which simulated architecture is shown as important elements.
