Painted in Mexico, 1700 – 1790: Pinxit Mexici Metropolitan Museum of Art

Discover the classic work of Mexican artists of the 1700s in Painted in Mexico, 1700-1790: Pinxit Mexici at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan’s Upper East Side from April 24 – July 22, 2018.


Painted in Mexico, 1700 – 1790: Pinxit Mexici

This is the first major exhibition to cover the topic of Mexican painters of the 1700s. It was co-organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Fomento Cultural Banamex.

After the conquest of Mexico (New Spain) in 1519 – 1521, artists from Spain set up workshops in Mexico. Some of these workshops lasted for generations and produced their own elite artists.

This work is a reflection of the imposed Spanish culture, but also something that is uniquely Mexican. In a sign of increasing confidence, the artists began signing their work and added “pinxit Mexici” (painted in Mexico) to their signatures.

This is a major exhibition with several sections:

  • Great Masters
  • Master Storytellers
  • Noble Pursuits and the Academy
  • Paintings of the Land
  • The Power of Portraiture
  • The Allegorical World
  • Imagining the Sacred

The exhibition comes to The Met Museum after shows at the Palacio de Cultura Citibanamex – Palacio de Iturbide in Mexico City (June – October, 2017), and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (November 2017 – March 2018).

The exhibition is on view in Gallery 999. A catalog accompanies the exhibition.
