DE CAMPECHE, JOSÉ, "Virgen de las Mercedes", Puerto Rican colonial school, 18th century
Oil on canvas. José Campeche Jordán (1751 - 1809) is the first Puerto Rican artist internationally recognized outside the island and considered by many to be one of the best representatives of Rococo in America. Son of a “liberto” slave father and a Canarian mother, Campeche studies Latin and Philosophy in the Dominicans of San Juan, Puerto Rico. There are around 300 documented works, most of them of religious content, and among them, we highlight the altar of the Cathedral of San Juan. References: "José Campeche, witness to the city", Institute of Puerto Rican Culture, Cuadernos de Cultura Nº 12 ". Provenance: From the descendants of Rafael Conti Flores., private collection, Madrid. Measurements: 46 x 38 cm
