Luis de Riaño
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 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]
