The Hispanic Society Museum & Library is hosting a symposium following the humanities-led scientific study of Peruvian Costumbrista watercolors (as well as Chinese and Philippine ones), sponsored by the U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The symposium will describe the work of the ISAAC Lab of Nottingham Trent University, in collaboration with the Hispanic Society Museum & Library and the museums, libraries, universities, and research institutes holding examples of these works and related objects, including the Yale University Art Gallery’s collection of 48 nineteenth-century Peruvian watercolors attributed to Pancho Fierro, Francisco Javier Cortés, and others. This symposium is offered in collaboration with the Society for Iberian Global Art (SIGA).
