In this paper we are going to find out exactly what Cuzco school really is, and we will also learn where the term originated, what it actually means, and by the end of this paper you should be able to go to any museum and identify any possible Cuzco School work. However for the interest of this paper, I will primarily be focusing on Cuzco paintings that revolve around…

The Roman Catholic Church was the prime factor in pulling the decimated populations of Europe back out of the Dark Ages and expanding learning where illiteracy existed before.
