In the Hispanic Americas, the first influences were from [[Seville|Sevillan]] [[Tenebrism]], mainly from [[Francisco de Zurbarán|Zurbarán]]—some of whose works are still preserved in Mexico and Peru—as can be seen in the work of the Mexicans [[José Juárez]] and [[Sebastián López de Arteaga]], and the Bolivian [[Melchor Pérez de Holguín]]. The [[Cusco School]] of painting arose after the arrival of the Italian painter [[Bernardo Bitti]] in 1583, who introduced [[Mannerism]] in the Americas. It highlighted the work of [[Luis de Riaño]], disciple of the Italian [[Angelino Medoro]], author of the murals of the [[Church of San Pedro, Andahuaylillas]]. It also highlighted the Indian ([[Quechua people|Quechua]]) painters [[Diego Quispe Tito]] and [[Basilio Santa Cruz Pumacallao]], as well as [[Marcos Zapata]], author of the fifty large canvases that cover the high arches of [[Cusco Cathedral]]. In [[Ecuador]], the [[Quito School]] was formed, mainly represented by the [[mestizo]] [[Miguel de Santiago]] and the [[Criollo (people)|criollo]] [[Nicolás Javier de Goríbar]].

In the 18th century sculptural altarpieces began to be replaced by paintings, developing notably the Baroque painting in the Americas. Similarly, the demand for civil works, mainly portraits of the aristocratic classes and the ecclesiastical hierarchy, grew. The main influence was the [[Bartolomé Esteban Murillo|Murillesque]], and in some cases—as in the criollo [[Cristóbal de Villalpando]]–that of [[Juan de Valdés Leal]]. The painting of this era has a more sentimental tone, with sweet and softer shapes. Its proponents include [[Gregorio Vasquez de Arce y Ceballos]] in Colombia, and [[Juan Rodríguez Juárez]] and [[Miguel Cabrera (painter)|Miguel Cabrera]] in Mexico.
