Miguel de Berrio (Potosí, Bolivia, 1706 – circa 1762) "Lutgardis of Aywières" Oil on canvas. 90 x 64 cm. Gaspar Miguel de Berrío was a painter, son of Diego Berrío and Juana Bravo de Laguna, active between 1735 and 1762. He was mostly raised in the town of Puna,Potosí in what is now Bolivia. The majority of his artworks can be traced as he tended to sign and datethem. He is considered to be one of the most important artists of the Potosí School, followingMelchor Pérez de Holguín, who was his master and who had a striking and significant influence on him, especially in his early paintings. Later, he decided to move away from his old master's style to adopt that typical of indigenous painters, which valued gilding and usually had highly idealised figures in its compositions, as mentioned by the Royal Academy of History.
