Antonio Molleno

Antonio Molleno is a Cusco School artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Art Institute of Chicago.

Antonio Molleno painted wooden church panels in early 1800s Mexico. In this collection you’ll see two altar screens mounted in modern frames and a panel that shows Saint Blasius. His work belongs to the same tradition as colonial church art, where figures are flat, bright, and full of detail.

Look for Saint Blasius in the side tiles, then tap any panel to see how the colors and patterns were built up with small brushes.
