About the Item

Wonderful historic boultos by New Mexico artist Jose Aragon (1796-1850) Titled: “Jesus de Nazarino.” Painted wood, gesso and polychrome. Measures: 20 3/4"h x 9 ½”w x 5"d. In wonderful condition. One of the few artists working in Spanish New Mexico during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Jose Aragon focused on religious images for churches and homes. He was a wood carver and also a painter who used watercolor and tempera. For his woodcarvings, his method was to cover the carved object with gesso or plaster and then apply color with watercolor paints. Much of his work was creating monumental altar screens, and he also supervised church-decoration projects and carved retablos. Evidence shows that he was active for nearly fifty years, from 1815 to 1862. The first record found of him is in Santa Fe on July 19, 1815 when he married Maria Josefa Lucero. By 1823, he and his wife and children lived in the Bario de San Francisco, which was the woodworkers' district of Santa Fe. One of his first commissions, between 1818 and 1826, was the altar screen in the church of San Lorenzo at Picuris Pueblo near Santa Fe. He used tempera paint. Around 1835, he moved to a new home in the village of Quemado, later named Cordova, New Mexico. He went there to be with his second wife, Josefa Cordova, whom he married after the death of his first wife. There he carved and painted in folk-art style the main altar of the Quemado Church of San Antonio, and this became one of many projects that built his reputation throughout the Santa Cruz Valley. He did work on most of the churches in the area including at Santa Cruz, El Valle, Truchas, Chimayo, Hernandez, and Pojoaque. He also worked in the Taos area.
