Antonio de Espinosa

Antonio de Espinosa painted large folding screens in 17th-century New Spain, a time when Mexico was still part of Spain’s colonial world. His series The Twelve Months of the Year shows each month with customs, landscapes, and daily life in vivid colors. These screens were practical, dividing rooms, but also told stories of seasons, trade, and local culture.
