Through the study of the musical iconographic sources in the paintings of the so-called escuela cusqueña of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this research exposes the various correspondences between painting and the royal practices of the musical chapels of the Peruvian viceroyalty, as well as the links of the art of this school with the surrounding reality, though and sensitivity of colonial society, beyond stereotypes and formulas derived from European art. It also demonstrates how the iconography assists to specify certain transcendental aspects, such as finding the date of the works, and highlights the importance and need to develop iconographic-musical studies since they constitute a valuable tool to unveil the history of art.
