"Museum catalog sets high standard as first in a series intended to reflect the completion of comprehensive inventories of art collections undertaken by the Instituto Colombiano de Cultura. Fully documents art collection of the 17th-century church of Santa Clara in Bogota, the first major restoration work completed by the Instituto between 1969-83. Specially noteworthy are the nave elevation drawings used to locate the paintings, sculptures, and altarpieces within their architectural context. Individual catalog entries by Jaime Gutiérrez Vallejo provide basic curatorial and descriptive information, complemented by good quality b/w and color photographs. Two sections discuss iconography of angels in colonial painting and different columnar supports of the altarpieces"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
