Abstract
CHICANGANA-BAYONA, Yobenj Aucardo. The Indian of Freedom: from the Allegories of America to the Allegories of the Mother Land. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.1, pp.17-28. ISSN 1851-9490.
The article, based on iconographic sources, studies the substitution of imperial Spanish symbols by new republican symbols at the beginning of the 19th century, emphasizing some works as the allegories of Freedom and the Mother land in the case of Colombia. These emblems had their origin in the representations of America of the 16th century, however, initially, with their autonomies and later independences they turn into the first symbols of identity of the blossoming republics.
