JOSÉ DE IBARRA (Nueva Galicia, Guadalajara, 1685-Mexico, 1756). "St. Joseph with Child. Oil on copper. Signed. Presents faults. Measurements: 39 x 25 cm; 52 x 36 x 3 cm (frame). As we observe in the work in bidding, José de Ibarra was an innovator in the Novo-Hispanic painting, seeking to transmit the emotions and affections in an effective way. He offers us an image of great virtuosity in its execution, in which Saint Joseph looks towards the Child, whom he holds in his arms. Jesus, for his part, responds to his father's gaze with admiration and respect, ready to give him all his attention, all his will and to support him in his attitude, and he collects with his right hand a bouquet of white lilies, an attribute in the representation of St. Joseph. Father and son are surrounded by a cast of putti. The coloring is soft and gentle, and coincides with the spirit of Novo-Hispanic painting of the 17th century. Until the Counter-Reformation, it was common for the figure of St. Joseph to remain in the background, since he was not given any theological importance. However, after Trent, his protagonist role as Jesus' protector during his childhood, as a guide during his youth, was recovered, and as such he is represented here. In contrast to the tenderness, defenselessness and candor of the infant figure, St. Joseph is presented as a monumental character, typically baroque, an impression that is reinforced by the pyramidal composition. Through this form of representation, the author visually enhances the decisive role as protector of the putative father of Jesus. José de Ibarra was one of the most outstanding Novo-Hispanic artists of the 18th century. He was a disciple of Juan Correa and worked with the brothers Nicolás and Juan Rodríguez Juárez, who promoted an academy of painting. He presided over an independent academy of painters in the capital of the viceroyalty, where the theories and models of Charles Le Brun were used to renew painting. His work influenced important clients, such as the cathedrals of Mexico and Puebla, and he became a reference for painting in New Spain. His works can be seen in various collections and museums, such as the Amparo Museum.

ATTRIBUTED TO JOSE DE IBARRA (GUADALAJARA, 1685 - MEXICO CITY,1756)
Est: €15,000 - €18,000
Attributed to Jose de Ibarra (Guadalajara, 1685 - Mexico City,1756) 'Jesus Before the Doctors' Oil on canvas. Relined. 168 x 105 cm. Jesus was twelve years old when he went to Jerusalem with his parents and stayed in the temple (Luke 2:41-50) and met and discussed with the Doctors of the Church. The iconographic version typically places Jesus, at that age, seated in a chair while the doctors listen to him. Mary and Joseph, standing to the left in our painting, contemplate the scene expressing their joyful amazement. In our opinion, this painting is comparable to the one depicting 'The Visitation,' dated between 1731-1732, which is kept in the Quasi-Parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Tlacotes, Ojo Caliente, Zacatecas. We find a great resemblance between the model used in the depiction of Saint Joachim in the Visitation painting and the character in the foreground, in profile, in the lower right corner of the artwork we have here. The painter was born in Nueva Galicia, present-day Guadalajara, during the Viceroyalty period. He received training in the workshops of significant painters such as Juan Correa or the brothers Juan and Nicolás Rodríguez Juárez. His themes are, as was almost inevitable at the time, religious. In his style, which shows sweetness and great knowledge of the human figure as well as having a Spanish influence, the relationship between Italian and French painting of the time can also be appreciated. According to the Mexican Museum of Guadalajara's website, where the painter Ibarra has a dedicated permanent room and is considered 'one of the most important Mexican painters of the 18th century... At the age of 16, he moved to Mexico City and worked in Juan Correa's workshop, where he learnt to prepare canvases, compose paintings, and combine colorus. He completed his artistic training with the Rodríguez Juárez brothers and presented his Master's exam to the Painters Guild Commission. During the first half of the 18th century, dozens of religious images for churches in Central and South America were produced in José de Ibarra's workshop, earning him recognition as one of the 'masters of painting' in New Spain.' Spanish Americas.

Dimensiones: 266 x 167 cm Discípulo de Juan Correa, pero fuertemente influenciado por Cristóbal de Villalpando y Juan Rodríguez Juárez, José de Ibarra fue uno de los pintores más productivos de su tiempo. Conocido en su tiempo como «el Murillo de la Nueva España», Ibarra fue un artista de gran autoridad y prestigio, llegando a presidir la Academia de Pintura proyectada por él, los hermanos Rodríguez Juárez y Miguel Cabrera. Su vida profesional estuvo marcada por el interés en participar junto a sus compañeros en todas aquellas iniciativas dedicadas a proteger los elementos intelectuales del arte de la pintura. Se observan en su pintura ciertas cualidades estéticas, como son su pincelada suelta y ligera, sus rostros con carácter suave y un indiscutible sentido de la composición y la simetría. Su abundante producción y su estilo contribuyo de manera importante al inicio de la transición entre el barroco y el rococó en la Nueva España.
