The governmental promotion of culture philanthropy as a significant issue in culture policy is widely discussed in scientific literature.

The article proposes the term "Visual Culture" as a concept that provides a wide range of contents prone for interpretation in historical researches. In the introduction, the author analyzes and justifies the concept itself, as well as its scope as a useful instrument for investigators, emphasizing on its applicability for studying, evaluating and understanding images, while revealing that all visual culture responds to theparticular interests of a managing elite and it is aimed to a specific social group or human settlement. Then, based on three well-known periods of Colombian history (pre-Hispanic times, the Colony and the Independence), the author demonstrates this hypothesis. ; El artículo propone el concepto cultura visual como elemento que aporta a las investigaciones de carácter histórico una amplia gama de contenidos susceptibles de interpretación. En la introducción el autor analiza y sustenta el concepto propuesto, cultura visual, y sus alcances como instrumento al servicio de los investigadores; haciendo énfasis en su utilidad para estudiar, analizar e interpretar imágenes; al tiempo que demuestra que toda cultura visual responde a los intereses particulares de una élite dirigente, y está dirigida a un grupo social o asentamiento humano. A continuación y con base en tres períodos de la historia colombiana: la época prehispánica, la Colonia y la Independencia, el autor hace evidente la hipótesis planteada.
