EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "Description of Cerro Rico and the Imperial Municipality of Potosi, 1758" transports us to the breathtaking landscape of Potosi, Bolivia. Created by Miguel de Berrio and Gaspar in the 18th century, this masterpiece is now housed at Museo Charcas in Sucre. The painting depicts an awe-inspiring birds-eye view of Cerro Rico (Rich Hill) and its surrounding area. The mountainous terrain dominates the composition, with its rugged peaks reaching towards the heavens. A serene lake glistens amidst this majestic scenery, reflecting the vibrant colors of nature. Nestled within this picturesque setting lies a charming town that seems almost untouched by time. From above, we can observe narrow streets winding through clusters of adobe houses painted in warm earth tones. The town's architectural beauty harmonizes perfectly with its natural surroundings. As our eyes explore every detail meticulously captured by artist Paul Maeyaert, we are reminded of South America's rich history and cultural heritage. This painting serves as a testament to Bolivia's past glory when Potosi was one of the wealthiest cities in the world due to its silver mines. With its mesmerizing blend of mountainscapes and urban charm seen from an aerial perspective, "Description of Cerro Rico and the Imperial Municipality" invites viewers to immerse themselves in Bolivian culture while marveling at Mother Nature's grandeur.
