Description

During the first two decades of the nineteenth century a new provenance in the local production of religious art emerged in New Mexico, stemming from the parish of Santa Fe. In that period four notable santeros (escultores) of New Mexico's golden age of Spanish colonial art grew into maturity in Santa Fe and became sought after masters of locally created devotional art. Among their associates were carpenters of the previous and contemporary generations. A web of influence emerges from a study of family, occupations, and community in the social and religious lives of Jose Aragon, Jose Rafael Aragon, Jose Anastacio Casados, and Jose Manuel Benavides (a.k.a. Santo Nino Santero), escultores of the first half of nineteenth-century New Mexico. This book reveals the pattern of social relationships that connected these escultores with several families of carpenters through kinship, compadrazgo, and social occupations. These interrelations formed a tapestry of kinship that underscored the outburst of creativity in the production of religious devotional art among Nuevomejicanos. The breakthrough research of this book identifies a style of bultos attributed to Jose Anastacio Casados and highlights the familial relationship between Jose Aragon and Jose Rafael Aragon. Also, the identification of potential mentors of the escultores of the parish of Santa Fe opens a new chapter in the study of the classic period of New Mexican Catholic devotional art.
