Abstract

The article focuses on the exploration of American artifacts and their presence in early modern Madrid, particularly following the publication of James Amelang's 2008 article. It reviews a volume that includes Amelang's work alongside contributions that detail new research on collections of Americana in Spain, highlighting the influence of elite collectors and ambassadors who enriched royal collections with American items. The text discusses various artifacts, including lacquerware, sculptures, and paintings, and their cultural significance, as well as the impact of these items on the artistic and social landscape of Madrid during the period. The volume underscores the ongoing research and discoveries in this field, reflecting the dynamic exchange between the Americas and Spain. [Extracted from the article]
