One senior colleague and expert on the painting responded in an email, “Just read your wonderful and so insightful article on the Cuzco earthquake painting in Cuzco. Congratulations. Wonderful research! You have really cracked the puzzle surrounding the painting and put in its proper context. I learned so much. I am most grateful.”
