| description | Framed on the 800th anniversary of the celebration of the meeting of St. Francis and the Sultan, convoked by the Franciscan Order, the present article seeks to enquire into the conception of the image of the Moor in colonial society. Particularly reflectedin the series of 54 paintings, of the life of Saint Francis, from the Museum of Colonial Art of San Francisco, Santiago de Chile, made in the 17th century in a workshop in Cuzco. Their destination was the homonymous Convent for the formation and contemplation of the clergy, which allows us to discover its representation. The Moor represents the sign of the individual or of the pagan territory, in action or context of violence, but capable of conversion. These aspects are common to the prejudices introduced by the colonizers, marked by the long struggle in the Iberian Peninsula against them and the policies of expulsion of this community from Spain. Colonial art, in turn, was an exercise in cultural dialogue, which adapted Hispanic culture to the reality ofthe new world, and thus allowed the reading of the Moor transferred to the difficulties and successes of evangelization and the violence exercised by the conquerors. |
