FAME, ENGRAVING AND BRUSHES: VISUAL CITATIONS OF MICHELANGELO’S LAST JUDGMENT BETWEEN EUROPE AND THE ANDES (16^TH-18^TH CENTURIES)

ABSTRACT

The study of engravings and its uses as a model for the paintings of first modernity, in its crossings with the global circulation of images, have made it possible to build large networks of images from the appropriation of a same range of motifs in different parts of the globe and to dig into the concrete labor of those artists who selected and combined the motifs of the engravings aiming at different goals. The present article analyzes the circulation of the motifs of Michelangelo’s’ Last Judgement , stressing on its visual citations as strategies employed by the artists to produce an inter-visuality that connects their own production to both a notorious artist and image in their time.
