Provenance

Private collection, Madrid

This small-scale copper, depicting one of the most popular episodes from the life of St. Ildephonsus, constitutes a clear example of the Baroque aesthetic of New Spain, by setting itself out as a display of dynamism and contrasting luminous interplay. The choice of this metallic support, frequently used in the Viceroyalty, enabled the painter to engage in all the possibilities offered up by the material, and indulge in extraordinary refinement thanks to the painstaking attention given to detail and the profusion of such characteristic brilliance and color.
