Abstract
Al igual que otras comunidades religiosas, a su llegada al Nuevo Reino de
Granada los franciscanos iniciarían un proceso de adoctrinamiento religioso
entre las tribus indígenas, que se vería complementado con la fundación de
una serie de conventos -tanto masculinos como femeninos- localizados en las
principales ciudades del nuevo territorio. Surgió así la Provincia Franciscana
de la Santa Fe de Colombia, que llegaría a contar con casi una treintena de
fundaciones conventuales.
En este breve artículo analizaremos la historia y la evolución artística de
algunos de los más importantes conventos fundados por los franciscanos
en Colombia entre los siglos XVI-XVIII; concretamente, nos centraremos en
los conventos de San Francisco y Santa Clara la Real en Tunja, así como el
Convento de Santa Clara en Bogotá.
Like other religious communities, when Franciscans arrival at the New Kingdom of Granada they begin a process of religious indoctrination among Indian tribes, which will be supplemented by the establishment of a series of convents, both male and female, located in major cities in the new territory. However, they founded the Franciscan Province of the Holy Faith of Colombia, which had almost thirty monastic foundations. This article analyze the history and artistic evolution of some of the most important monasteries founded by the Franciscans in Colombia between the 16th-18th centuries. Specifically, we focus on the monasteries of Saint Francis and Sainte Claire in Tunja, and the convent of Sainte Claire in Bogota.
