Miguel Cabrera (Antequera de Oaxaca, Mexico, 1715 / 1720 - Mexico, 1768)"The Divine Shepherdess"Oil on canvas. Signed. 39 x 31.5cm.On the back there is a label of the "Junta de Incautación" (Confiscation Board), with the number 921. This divine shepherdess is comparable to the one made on copper by Miguel Cabrera, which is kept in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, USA.Miguel Cabrera was one of the most renowned painters in the field of eighteenth-century New Spanish painting, with an oeuvre that the Dallas Museum of Art defines as "legendary: more than 309 works from his great studio have been documented." Little is known of his youth; In fact, according to the Andrés Blaisten Museum, it is only because of the painter's will in 1768 that we know that he was a native of Oaxaca. The first news of him is from 1739, the year of his marriage to Ana María Solano, and we also know of his stint at Juan Correa's workshop in the capital of the Viceroyalty.Archbishop Rubio Salinas was Cabrera's patron, whom he named his chamber painter. He was also a painter for the Society of Jesus, for whose churches he produced numerous works.In 1753 he was appointed president for life of the Academy of San Carlos.In 1756 Cabrera published "American wonder and set of rare wonders observed and directed by the rules of the art of painting", a narrative about the image of the Virgin Guadalupe from the printing press of the Jesuit school of San Ildefonso.His work is kept in many churches and convents in Mexico. Two of his images of the Virgin of Guadalupe are in the Vatican Museum. Another, painted in 1756, for the temple of San Francisco Javier, is kept in the National Museum of the Viceroyalty.The Dallas Museum of Art has a Saint Gertrude the Great by Miguel Cabrera and another painting of the saint, also by Cabrera and dated 1768, is part of the collection of the José Luis Bello y Zetina Museum in Puebla, Mexico.Likewise, there is an outstanding series of Casta paintings from 1763 that is kept in the collection at the Museo de América in Madrid. They represent the families, father, mother and son of the various castes and social strata, in situations of daily life. Reference bibliography: Dallas Museum of Art. (s.f.). "Saint Gertrude".
