  • Painters in seventeenth-century New Spain often worked by "copying" from European prints. Signatures and pictorial citations demonstrate that, for artists in the New World, copying was sometimes a marker of ambitious self-definition. Certain artists understood this practice in terms of its ability to place them within a transatlantic canon and to that end deployed motifs drawn from prints to stage a long-distance dialogue. For New Spanish artists to imagine themselves within a transatlantic world was to mobilize the political implications of distance, and to therby unite painterly and personal identities through the act of manipulating printed sources arriving from afar.
