Latin American Antiques On Display In Art Museum
A wax figure of the Empress Carlotta made in 1860, surrounded by an embroidered wool wreath, is a part of the Latin American collection being exhibited in the University Museum of Art during April. Carlotta, in an age-stained wool dress, has dark eyes and dark human hair.
The Latin American pieces were assembled to accompany the course in Latin American art taught by Dr. Maxon, director of the Museum of Art. The exhibition will end on Cervantes Day, Saturday, April 29. Cervantes Day is the celebration in honor of the Spanish author of "Don Quixote."
Huge silver candle holders made in Argentina in the 18th century, a silver tea cup from Peru, a silver sauce boat, lamp, and silver spice jars are also being displayed.
A needlework rug made about 1700 in Guatemala or Ecuador hangs on the wall in the north gallery. The rug originally had a black background, but the iron oxide dye with which the background was made has destroyed the wool. It has been patched in several places. A carved and painted redwood beam from the church at Pecos, N.M., built in 1617, is being shown.
Displayed are Mexican baroque paintings from the vice-regal pediod. One of the paintings, "Crucifixion," from Ecuador was painted on a drumhead which is so thick that it cannot be pressed flat. A gold and silver finished frame decorated with intricate designs in the metal surrounds the painting.
A large baroque painting of St. Rose of Lima in an oval frame hangs in the gallery. It was painted in Cuzco, Peru in the early 18th century. It reveals St. Rose as she looks at a model of her Savior on the cross in her hand.
A panel painting of the Virgin of Guadelupe on a thick piece of wood is displayed. In it, the Virgin, in a blue robe with her hands folded and her eyes closed, is praying. The painting is an example of primitive Santos art.
A bearded, black-haired wooden figure of "Christ the King," which was made in New Mexico in the 18th century, is being shown. The King is dressed in a gay colored robe and has large pink toes. The figure is another example of primitive art.
