Luis de Riaño (1596–c. 1667) was a Peruvian criollo painter.[1] His work is an important representation of Cusco School, the Peruvian colonial painting style.[2][3]

Biography

Luis de Riaño was born in 1596 in Lima, Viceroyalty of Peru.[4][2]

He studied Counter-Maniera style painting under Angelino Medoro from 1611 to 1618.[5][2] Another student of Medoro who started a few years earlier in 1604 was Pedro de Loayza, an Indigenous Andean painter.[2][6] Medoro's painting "Inmaculada Concepción" (1618) in Lima was copied by de Riaño at the Recoleta Monastery in Cusco.[7]

De Riaño is best known for his frescos painted in the 1620s at the Church of San Pedro de Andahuaylillas in the Andahuaylillas District in Cusco, nicknamed the "Sistine Chapel of the Americas".[8][9] The painting depicts the roads to heaven and to hell.[10]

He remained an active painter until the 1640s.[5]
