Winged and Imagined Indians

• Viceroyalty of Peru parallels with the case of New Spain in the process of transition from paganism to the full ecclesiastical integration of the Indians
• Weight of past generally felt alongside a strong sense of vindication and resistance- influenced the images towards the adoption of roles that are more relevant to a climate of violence and social tension
• Iconographical initiatives in Peru that are regressive or restorative devices- marked an impact that manage to transfer onto the images of the Divinity the old Inca symbols of power and sacrality
• Visual image becomes mental image- Indians seen how Spanish paint angels then confirmed saw them just like that
