Oswaldo Guayasamín (1919-1999) is widely considered one of the most important Latin American painters of the 20th century, and this tour's first stop is both his former home and his life's final, unfinished project. Near the end of his life he established the Guayasamín Foundation and donated his house, his personal collection of colonial and pre-Columbian art, and the bulk of his own work — more than 250 pieces spanning his early career through his later series 'La Edad de la Ira' and 'La Ternura,' plus over 1,000 drawings dating back to when he was seven years old — to Ecuador. His other project, La Capilla del Hombre ('The Chapel of Man'), is a purpose-built museum on a hillside in Bellavista overlooking Quito, designed to document human suffering and resilience across Latin American history through his art. Construction began in 1995, but Guayasamín died in 1999 before it was finished; the Capilla wasn't actually completed and opened until 2002, three years later.
The Central Bank Museum, housed within the Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, holds Ecuador's national collection of pre-Columbian gold, ceramics, and colonial-era art. Its single most recognizable piece is the Sol de Oro — the Golden Sun of La Tolita — a pre-Columbian gold disc depicting a solar face that's famous enough in Ecuador to have become the Central Bank's own logo. Walking the gallery, you're moving through millennia of different Ecuadorian cultures at once: the pottery and metalwork trace back long before the Inca ever reached this part of the Andes, well before the Spanish colonial art displayed alongside it.
