<\/a>The doctoral thesis Pintura, comercio e intercambio cultural entre Sevilla y Nueva Espa\u00f1a (1620\u20131640)<\/em>, by Dr. Ester Prieto Ustio, has been awarded the 9th Research Prize to Ibero-American Doctoral Theses, organised by the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation. This study offers an in-depth understanding of the cultural and artistic exchanges between Spain and New Spain, highlighting the significance of transatlantic trade in the 17th century. <\/strong>(02\/04\/2025)<\/p>\nThe winning thesis is based on three main axes: the circulation of cultural objects and the transatlantic art market between Seville and the New Spanish territories; the mobility of European painters to this American space; and artistic consumption in New Spanish society, with a particular focus on painting. Its aim is to deepen knowledge and enhance the appreciation of these dynamics. The research is approached from the perspectives of cultural history and visual culture, employing an interdisciplinary methodology grounded in documentary, bibliographical, and artistic sources primarily from Spain, Mexico, and Portugal.<\/p>\n
The thesis is structured into four main sections. The first examines the ornamentation of Spanish ships in the early modern period. The second focuses on the circulation of cultural objects and the American art market, exploring the presence and use of artworks on ships, the shipment of luxury pieces from the Iberian Peninsula to the Americas and Asia, and the art trade between Seville and the American continent from the perspective of the artists involved. The third section analyses the biographies, careers, and works of European painters who migrated to the viceroyalty of New Spain between 1600 and 1640. Finally, the fourth part studies artistic consumption and collecting in New Spain from the second half of the 16th<\/sup> century to the first half of the 17th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n The award ceremony took place during the 7th <\/sup>International Congress on Relations between Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe.
