EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting, titled "The Twelve Months of the Year (Los doce meses del año)" by Antonio de Espinosa, dates back to the second half of the 17th century. The Mexican artist masterfully captures the essence of each month through vibrant colors and intricate details. In the center of the composition, we see a cityscape with various buildings and houses, representing the urban setting of Mexico during that era. The painting is divided into twelve sections, each one dedicated to a different month. The first section, depicting January, shows a cold and barren landscape with people bundled up against the winter chill. In contrast, the section for July displays a lush, green landscape with people enjoying the summer sun. The background of each section is adorned with beautiful architectural structures, some of which are reminiscent of the Spanish colonial influence in Mexico. The buildings, with their intricate facades and red-tiled roofs, add a sense of grandeur and elegance to the painting. The people in the painting are depicted going about their daily lives, providing a glimpse into the social and cultural fabric of Mexico during the 17th century. The painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Latin America and is an invaluable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The Twelve Months of the Year (Los doce meses del año) is not only a beautiful work of art but also a historical document that offers insight into the past. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Latin American art, history, or the art of the 17th century.
