Brief Biography-José de Ibarra was born in San Miguel El Grande Oaxaca. He painted primarily religious subjects for the churches of Mexico; however, he also excelled in portraiture. Ibarra painted several portraits of people referred to as "Mestizo," people of Spanish and Native American descent, and "mulatto;" a derogatory term once used to describe people of black and white parents or half-bloods. He was a "Black Mexican," and officially a Spaniard. He was a disciple of Juan Correa and influenced by Juan Rodríguez Juárez and Cristóbal de Villalpando. |
