José de Ibarra (1685–1756) was a Mexican painter, born in Guadalajara, Mexico, [1] and died 21 Nov 1756 in Mexico City, in the Viceroyalty of New Spain (Colonial México).[2]

He was born in 1753 in Mexico City, listed as a Spaniard in his birth certificate.[3] Ibarra was student of the distinguished painter Juan Correa, who was the son of a man of Afro-Moorish heritage from Spain and an Afro-Mexican woman.

Career[]

Ibarra's career was marked with support of initiatives to protect the intellectual integrity of painting as an art form.[4] He was influenced by contemporaries Cristóbal de Villalpando and Juan Rodríguez Juárez.[4] His remains are interred at the Church of Santa Inés in Mexico City.[5]

Many of Ibarra's pieces are preserved in Mexican museums and the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City.[6] He was one of the most prolific painters of his day, producing mainly religious paintings for the cathedrals of Mexico.[4]
