Andean Baroque Ceiling PanelManuel Chili (Caspicara)

158
This carved and gilded ceiling panel (1770–80) shows radiant faces, golden beams, and floral motifs arranged around a central sunburst. Produced in late-colonial Quito, it aligns with the Andean baroque’s celestial imagery. Caspicara joined Catholic cosmology with Indigenous conceptions of ordered, sacred geometry.
