From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Potosí School refers to 17th-century Baroque artworks from Potosí, the location of the Spanish colonial mint: "according to some accounts, the city was an art factory producing at least 200,000 paintings a year".[1] Its most significant artist was Melchor Pérez de Holguín, from Cochabamba.[2] Artworks from Potosí are similar to works from the Cusco School but are characterized by their "more marked primitivism, the rigidity of the figures, and the abundance of 'narrative pictures'".[3]
