As the next installment in our series on snakes, this issue explores their presence in viceregal art. Here, our vision is filled with images of serpents fighting the Virgin, and our nightmares are inhabited by hellish missionaries: infernal snakes that torture sinners. Horror and beauty exist side by side within these creatures that play a natural part in our culture.
