It is a colonial-era style of painting and sculpture that developed in Cusco, Peru, merging indigenous Inca traditions with European artistic techniques. Despite the European influence, artists often depicted regional saints, local figures, and indigenous customs, providing a glimpse into colonial society.
The prominent use of gold leaf, especially in paintings of the Virgin Mary, is a hallmark of the style.
