Join Dr. Marcus B. Burke for a galley talk about the art of the Hispanic world at Hispanic Society of America.
Juan Rodriguez Juárez (1675-1728) was the pre-eminent artist of early eighteenth-century Mexico. One of the creators of the “castas” painting genre, Rodriguez Juárez was a highly important painter of religious compositions and the most sought-after Mexican portraitist of his time. Escudos de Monjas were nun’s badges worn as part of the habits of certain Conceptionist and Jeronymite nuns in the Viceregal era. The present example-probably intended for a Conceptionist nun, to judge from the absence of St. Jerome in the group of saints around the Virgin-may have been a preparatory drawing for a nun’s badge to be executed in oil on panel or copper, or used as an Escudo in itself. In either case, it is an exceedingly rare example of a drawing from colonial Mexico and a work of art of surpassing quality and beauty.
