Viewing Rooms: TEFAF Maastricht 2026

Jaime Eguiguren Art & Antiques presents at TEFAF Maastricht 2026 an exceptional selection of Spanish and viceregal works that engage in dialogue as testimony to one of the most fertile cultural phenomena of the Early Modern period: the expansion, adaptation, and transformation of European art in the Americas. This collection—of which we present here a significant part—brings together masters of the Spanish Golden Age with paintings and sculptures from the Latin American viceroyalties, revealing a process of artistic and spiritual syncretism of extraordinary sophistication.
The Spanish works, with their technical refinement and compositional clarity, establish the visual language that traveled to the New World; the viceregal pieces, in turn, reinterpret that legacy by incorporating local sensibilities, Andean iconographies, indigenous materials, and a powerful symbolic dimension. The result is an aesthetic mestizaje in which European tradition and Indigenous culture do not stand in opposition but merge into a new visual and theological synthesis.
Within this transatlantic dialogue, religion functions as the central axis: devotion, liturgy, and sacred representation become vehicles of cultural exchange. The collection presented at TEFAF not only displays masterpieces but also invites reflection on identity, hybridity, and artistic circulation in the Hispanic Baroque world.
