Tower Mission Nuestra Señora de La Purisima Concepción de Acuña

<- Back to Texas Series

This tower, very similar in structure, but much more classic in design than the one at Mission San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo, also separated from the church, focuses on the painted/frescoed designs extrapolated by Ernst Schuchard in 1927 from faint colorings found on parts of the church. My interpretation strives to give a sense of what the church might have felt like in one of its painted evolutions sense its completion around 1755.
