Abstract

This articule will use the painting of Melchor Pérez Holguin as a frame­work for understanding the social world of eighteenth-century Potosí. We will analyze the many allegories, using the party as a reinforcement of the authority of the elites and the colonial power, jurisdictional differences and the corporate world of the colonial Indian city. Melchor Pérez Holguín painting is undoubtedly a valuable pictorial document that leads us to discover the social and political life of American colonial world.
