Examining the vivid; often apocalyptic church murals of Peru from the early colonial period through the nineteenth century; Heaven; Hell; and Everything in Between explores the sociopolitical situation represented by the artists who generated these murals for rural parishes. Arguing that the murals were embedded in complex networks of trade; commerce; and the exchange of ideas between the Andes and Europe; Ananda Cohen Suarez also considers the ways in which artists and viewers worked through difficult questions of envisioning sacredness.This study brings to light the fact that; unlike the murals of New Spain; the murals of the Andes possess few direct visual connections to a pre-Columbian painting tradition; the Incas preference for abstracted motifs created a problem for visually translating Catholic doctrine to indigenous congregations; as the Spaniards were unable to read Inca visual culture. Nevertheless; as Cohen Suarez demonstrates; colonial murals of the Andes can be seen as a reformulation of a long-standing artistic practice of adorning architectural spaces with images that command power and contemplation. Drawing on extensive secondary and archival sources; including account books from the churches; as well as on colonial Spanish texts; Cohen Suarez urges us to see the murals not merely as decoration or as tools of missionaries but as visual archives of the complex negotiations among empire; communities; and individuals.
