Baroque Cabrera Casta Chino Mexican Miguel Paintings
EDITORS COMMENTS
Miguel Cabrera's masterpiece, "De Chino-Cambujo y de India, Loba" (From a Chinese-Cambujo and an Indian, Loba), is a captivating casta painting dating back to 1763, showcased at the Americas Museum in Madrid, Spain. This significant work of art is an excellent representation of the Mexican colonial baroque style and is attributed to the Mexican school. Casta paintings, a unique genre of colonial Mexican art, were created during the 16th to 18th centuries to illustrate the racial hierarchy and intermingling of indigenous, European, and African populations in the New World. In this painting, we see the fusion of Chinese and Indian heritage in the central figures, with the Chinese-Cambujo man wearing traditional Chinese clothing and the Indian woman dressed in native attire. Their offspring, Loba, is depicted as a mestiza, with features of both her parents. The painting's title, "Loba," is derived from the Nahuatl word for "she-wolf," symbolizing the strong and protective nature of the mother. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the oil on canvas painting highlight the skill and artistry of Miguel Cabrera, who is considered one of the most prominent painters of the colonial period in Mexico. This painting is a testament to the rich cultural history of Mexico and the complexities of its colonial past. The Americas Museum in Madrid, Spain, is proud to preserve and display this remarkable work of art for generations to come, providing valuable insights into the history and diversity of the Americas.
