EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Plaza Mayor at the Reduccion of St. Ignatius" transports us back in time to colonial Latin America, specifically to a significant moment in the conversion of indigenous communities to Christianity. The image, captured by Matthis de Villar and preserved in a private collection, showcases the Plaza Mayor (Main Square) within the Reduccion of St. Ignatius. A reduccion was an Indian community established under ecclesial or royal authority with the purpose of facilitating the conversion of indigenous people to Christianity. This particular reduccion holds historical importance as it symbolizes the efforts made by missionaries and colonizers during that era. The photograph allows us to appreciate both architectural and cultural elements present in this South American setting. We can observe traditional Argentinian influences through its native inhabitants, who are seen going about their daily activities amidst this colonial backdrop. As we delve into this image, we gain insight into Argentina's rich history and its connection with Latin America as a whole. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures have shaped our world today and highlights the significance of religious conversions during that period. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers are able to explore these historical moments frozen in time while appreciating artistry from renowned photographers like Leonie de Villar.
