December 9 - February 5, 2023
From SAMFA:
“Spanish Colonial Treasures showcases a large cross-section of SAMFA’s Spanish Colonial and Latin American collection, including the newest gifts from some exceptional private collections. These works were created between 1600 and 1900, from the time of Spanish rule to after Mexican independence. Some of the works were created by academically trained masters schooled in European traditions, and others by humble self-taught artisans. Some of the objects adorned magnificent monasteries and churches, and others were created for devotional use in private homes. All of the art in SAMFA’s Spanish Colonial and Latin American collection represents the unique character and importance of the Catholic faith in Latin America, and the deep devotion of its followers. These works have made their home here in San Angelo thanks to the generosity of six major donors: Fred Pottinger, The Art and Eva Camuñez Tucker Foundation, Hamp and Bonnie Beesley, Richard Parkman, Thomas Duckworth, and Charlotte and Stephanie March, daughters of Laura Derby.”
