Tequitqui

It was proposed by José Moreno Villa in his text The Mexican in the Arts (1949).

It is a strange mixture of styles belonging to three eras: Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance.It is anachronistic, it seems to have been born out of time, because the Indian indoctrinated by the friars or the teachers coming from Europe, received as models prints, drawings, ivories, rich embroidered fabrics, breviaries, crosses, and a thousand minor objects.

The European iconographic and technical influence fused with indigenous technique and iconography gave rise to a set of unique pictorial and sculptural manifestations.

This was manifested mainly in the portals of the Christian temples, atrial crosses and murales in the cloisters and open chapels of the convents.

The term Indo-Christian art is also used as a synonym, proposed by Constantino Reyes-Valerio in the work of the same name.
