MAYORGA CHAMORRO, José Ignacio. The Patron Saints of Malaga, Ciriaco and Paula, in a hitherto Unknown Painting by Pedro López Calderón. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2019, vol.41, n.114, pp.68-111.  Epub 20-Feb-2020. ISSN 0185-1276.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.2019.114.2666.

An until now unknown canvas by Pedro López Calderón painted in Mexico in 1716 has been identified in the church of the Virgin of Guadalupe in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas. It’s discovery provides new data and brings together scarce, dispersed references related to the artist’s life. The analysis of the painting’s main theme, Holy Martyrs Ciriaco and Paula, patron saints of Málaga, Spain addresses the migration of a markedly local iconography, as well as its adaptation and interpretation by a painter in New Spain.
