Abstract

The analysis of the processes that distinguished custom scenes from genre scenes and historical painting, on the one hand, and its very complex connections with landscape, on the other, should be part of the understanding we have about the Latin-American inscription process to Rococo and Neoclassicism. The current paper will consider compositive solutions as a foundation of the semantics of Paintings and it will review some of the compositive solutions that took part in the constitution of the «custom scene» genre in Latin America towards the late XVIII-early XIX centuries.
