José de Ibarra

Inmaculada del Apocalipsis, Pinacoteca de La Profesa, México.

José de Ibarra (1685–1756) was a Mexican painter, born in San Miguel del Grande, Mexico and died 21 Nov 1756 in Mexico City.[1] He was a mixed-race Afro-Mexican, but was considered a Spaniard and listed in the 1753 Mexico City census as Spaniard.[2] Ibarra was student of painter Juan Correa, who self-identified as a mulatto. Many of Ibarra's pieces are preserved in Mexican museums and the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City.[3] He was one of the most prolific painters of his day, producing mainly religious paintings for the cathedrals of Mexico.[4] His career was marked with support of initiatives to protect the intellectual integrity of painting as an art form.[4] He was influenced by contemporaries Cristóbal de Villalpando and Juan Rodríguez Juárez.[4] His remains are interred at the Church of Santa Inés in Mexico City.[5]
