Abstract

This study is intended to shed light on the cultural enterprise carried out at the end of the 18th century by Baltasar Jaime Martínez Compañón, Bishop of Trujillo (Peru). The prelate's initiative is analyzed as an illustration of his intention to promote artworks from Spain¿s American viceroyalties and Pre-Hispanic archeological artefacts, which in turn allows us to assess his perception of Peruvian heritage. In addition, we seek to underline how the bishop¿s initiative was met with great interest and appreciation by Charles IV, King of Spain. This study focuses on the analysis of the files documenting the shipment of 24 boxes filled with cultural treasures from different periods, from Lima to Madrid, as well as samples of natural species.
