Museo Pedro de Osma | Ecos del Arte del Virreinato

The Lope de Vega House Museum presents Echoes of the Art of the Viceroyalty of Peru, an exhibition that invites you to contemplate the force and resonance of viceroyal art as a bridge between two continents and two ways of viewing the world. More than just a showcase, this journey is a living echo of the encounter between European tradition and American creativity, where each work — painting, religious object, or everyday item — is a testament to a dialogue that transformed visualities and beliefs into a unique language.

Far from being a simple translation of European models, the art of the Peruvian Viceroyalty reinvented itself at the crossroads of knowledge, incorporating indigenous elements, Catholic symbols, and local techniques that generated a unique visual richness. This selection of works, coming from the collection of the Pedro de Osma Museum in Lima, celebrates that fertilization of forms, colors, and meanings, and reminds us that art is at the same time memory, faith, and shared community.

At the heart of the exhibition are pieces that resonate with the cultural identity on both sides of the ocean: images deeply rooted in American spirituality, such as Santa Rosa de Lima or the Virgen Peregrina, alongside examples of the technical virtuosity that characterized colonial production —from rich polychromies to sculptures and embroidered relics— evoking a time when art was a bridge, companionship, and a constant presence.

Presented as part of Hispanidad 2025, the exhibition unfolds at the Casa Museo Lope de Vega as a sensory and reflective experience that leads us to listen to the resonances of the past and to feel how those artistic voices continue to live on today.
