Jesuit ruins of San Cosme and Damian - Itapúa
At the San Ignacio mission, in the Paraguayan province of Misiones, the only buildings standing were part of the old Jesuit school and now host a museum where sculptures recovered from the old church are exhibited.
The statues are images of saints, virgins and martyrs carved in polychrome wood, with features resembling Guarani men and women, short and with slanted eyes.
This artistic synthesis is known as the Baroque-Guarani style, combining 18th-century European trends inspired by Jesuits like Italian Jose Brasanelli (1659-1728) with South American indigenous influences.
