These include indigenous, Spanish colonial, post-independence nineteenth century painters, twentieth century and post-revolutionary art; print makers, photographers and sculptors influenced by European modernism; Contemporary art. Painting is one of the oldest arts of Mexico. In pre-Hispanic central and southern Mexico it is present in Aztec codices, ceramics, clothes, etc.; examples are the Mayan murals of Bonampak in the southeast, the Teotihuacan in central Mexico, Cholula and Monte Alban in southern Mexico. It is believed that the American continent's oldest rock art, 7500 years old, is found in a cave on the peninsula of Baja California.〔(Descubierta en una cueva de México la pintura rupestre más antigua de América / EL MUNDO )〕 == New Spain painting from the 16th and 17th == The mural blossomed during the sixteenth century in religious building (for example, the convents of Acolman, Huejotzingo, Tecamachalco, and Zinacantepec) and houses of the nobility. For a time it was believed that the first European painter living in New Spain was Rodrigo de Cifuentes (apocryphal artist), to whom were attributed works such as ''"Baptism of the chiefs of Tlaxcala"'' and an altarpiece painting in the ''Convent of San Francisco in Tlaxcala''. Among native painters was Marcos Aquino. A Flemish painter Simon Pereyns came to New Spain in 1566 and is considered the most important painter of this era. Pereyns along with Francisco de Morales, Francisco de Zumaya and Andrés de la Concha Juan de Arrúe formed a group of educated painters. The works preserved by this Flemish artist are, among others, his altarpiece paintings of Huejotzingo and ''San Cristóbal'' at the Metropolitan Cathedral. The church produced the most important works of the seventeenth century. Among the important painters were Baltasar de Echave Ibia and his son Baltasar Echave Rioja, also Luis Juárez and his son José Juárez, Juan Correa, Cristóbal de Villalpando, Rodrigo de la Piedra, Antonio de Santander, Polo Bernardino, Juan de Villalobos, Juan Salguero and Juan de Herrera. Juan Correa, worked from 1671 to 1716 and reached great prestige and reputation for the quality of its design and scale of some of his works. Among the best known: 'Apocalypse in the Cathedral of Mexico', 'Conversion of St. Mary Magdalene', now in the 'Pinacoteca Virreinal' and 'Santa Catarina and Adam and Eve casting out of paradise', the latter located in the National Museum of Viceroyalty of Tepotzotlán.〔(Arte y cultura en la colonia )''〕 Caravaggio and Francisco de Zurbarán as ''Painter of the King'' greatly influenced the artistic creation of this period. From latter many works for the churches of New Spain were brought. At the end of the Baroque period, Bartolome Esteban Murillo works were present in New Spanish workshops. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Visual arts of Mexico」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
