The Cuzco School (Escuela Cuzqueña) is a distinctive artistic tradition that arose in Cusco, Peru, during the colonial period, blending Spanish Baroque and Renaissance styles with indigenous Inca influences. This fusion is characterized by religious themes, vibrant colors, intricate details, and the incorporation of local motifs and symbols, creating a unique visual language. Notable artists like Diego Quispe Tito and Basilio Santa Cruz Pumacallao contributed to its development, resulting in a rich cultural heritage that continues to influence Peruvian art today.
