The third version of the Internationalmeeting on the Baroque, with the title topic Mannerism and transition to the Baroque, was held from 30 March to 2 April 2005 in the city of La Paz. It was organised by the Unión Latina, which was joined by the Centro de programs of study Indianos of the University of Navarra. A positive response has been the interest of specialists from different countries in America and Europe who came to quotation on this occasion, and even more, the expectation among professionals and students also from different countries, who attended, converting the meeting into a space for reflection and cultural integration.

It is necessary to make this consideration, as it is an unmistakable sign that activities such as the meeting International on the Baroque contribute to the dissemination of the programs of study specialised in American and European art and culture of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.

We hope that this publication, which brings together all the works of research presented at meeting, will be a further contribution to the dissemination of this subject that enriches the history of art.

Between heaven and hell

ISBN: 84-8081-081-5.

With the holding of the V International meeting on the Baroque, which took place in 2009 in the city of La Paz - Bolivia, we believe that we have once again contributed to consolidating an important space for reflection and analysis of different topics related to the Baroque from the 16th to the 18th centuries with projections up to the present day, especially in the form and content with which it was developed in different territories of America and Europe.

The fecundity of the concepts that gave rise to this cultural and artistic movement, as well as the variety, richness and expression of values that bequest has given us as an invaluable heritage that lives and renews itself, place the Baroque among the most loaded with meanings in making and creating.
The topic of this V meeting, Between Heavens and Hells gave leading European and Latin American experts from 15 countries the opportunity to share their latest research with the public. The dialectic relationship between life and death, angels and demons, sin and holiness, heaven and hell, were analysed from the perspective of history, anthropology, art, architecture, literature, music and theatre, with emphasis on the specific features of these expressions in America in particular.
