Abstract
The Historical Relation of Chilean Kingdom by Alonso de Ovalle (1646), is a historical document that allows us to understand the visuality around the New World in the period of the Colony. The engravings as representations of the natural landscape and of the mapuche indigenous people that inhabit the South of Chile, are inserted in a historical context determined by the imaginaries that are configured on the New World; by the mechanisms of occidentalization and evangelization; and by the communicational reproduction of images in the European Baroque. This work aims to establish a dialogue between the historical, communicational and aesthetic dimension of this Jesuit publication.
