OVIEDO SALAZAR, Mauricio  y  SANTAMARIA MONTERO, Leonardo. European monuments to Central American heroes: The first years of the Durini brothers within El Salvador and Honduras Artistic Market (1880-1883). Rev. hist. Am. [online]. 2020, n.158, pp.145-184.  Epub 28-Feb-2022. ISSN 2663-371X.  https://doi.org/10.35424/rha.158.2020.581.

The aim of this paper is to study the first commercial movements by the Swiss-Italian brothers Lorenzo and Francisco Durini Vasalli, artists and businessmen by profession, in the flourishing artistic market of the Central American region. The article is delimited temporarily from 1880 to 1883, and spatially to El Salvador and Honduras. Its fundamental baseline is a prominent variety of primary sources coming from El Salvador, Honduras and Costa Rica. In addition, it is proposed that the monuments commissioned to the Durini on those years contributed to the official imagery of El Salvador and Honduras republics.

Palabras llave : Durini brothers; monuments; international artistic commerce; Central America; Francisco Morazán; 19th Century.
