Although they created a specific Peruvian colonial style, even with different &#039;schools&#039;, they didn&#039;t incorporate Inca designs in their work. On Colonial paintings you do see some native dress mixed with Spanish.</p><p><br /></p><p>The story is rather complicated. Hernando married his niece, whose mother was an Inca woman. So his wife was half Spanish, half Quechua. They returned to Peru, where Hernando died.</p><p>Their children and further offspring were too high up on the social ladder to include craftspeople. And as you remarked, their culture would have been Spanish dominated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
