A study of domestic religious sculptures in Quito. During the eighteenth century, the colonial capital of Quito established itself as a prolific producer of wooden polychrome sculpture. With large glass eyes, smooth shiny surfaces, and minute attention to detail, the sculptures possessed an artistic refinement that enchanted contemporaries.
While these objects depicted Christian sacred personages, they were not always sequestered in churches and shrines. They filled domestic spaces, becoming signifiers not only of holiness but also of a distinctive Quitenian culture. Devotional sculpture was, on its face, an aesthetic reifiction of the colonial project, commissioned by creole elites.
However, drawing on published accounts and archival evidence, including wills and dowries, Leslie Todd shows that sculpture was diffused across society, contributing to a complex localized identity. As makers, viewers, and owners of sculpture, QuiteÑos of Indigenous and mixed heritage and varying socioeconomic backgrounds took active roles in creating the city’s visual culture.
In doing so, Todd argues, they simultaneously underscored and challenged colonial class and power systems, investing a European form with styles that revealed and reinforced specifically Spanish American subjectivity.
